  • Summary: Why Did I Get Married? is an intimate story about the difficulty of maintaining a solid love relationship in modern times. During a trip to the picturesque, snowcapped mountains of Colorado, eight married college friends have gathered for their annual seven-day reunion.

    The problems are real; the solutions are ... well, really entertaining. Perry mixes heartfelt drama with bold-stroke, insult-slinging comedy.

    The writer-director-producer-star would rather save your soul and your marriage than engage your aesthetics. That's probably why every other line was greeted at my screening with a chorus of stern "Mm-hmms" and "Exactlys!"

    There's such an overriding sense of soap opera that I kept expecting a commercial break.

    This may have been an improvement from his past movies, but nothing has changed. In this industry its about originality and we are not seeing that from Tyler Perry.… Expand

    People, just because it was better than the other crap Tyler Perry has put out does not mean it wasn't a terribly done movie. He just has no talent as a filmmaker. I saw this as a favor to a friend who wanted to see it and couldn't convince anyone else to go with her. I had pretty low expectations, and it was even worse than I thought it'd be. The movie was poorly done and frankly, I was embarrassed to be seen walking out of it.… Expand
