Not only is Perry in tune with his audience as always, he's unquestionably growing as a cinematic artist.
-
63If Perry's cinematic vision remains less than 20/20, his sagacity gets stronger by the movie.
-
60Displaying his usual mixture of broad, sitcom-style humor and soapy melodramatics, it's an entertaining if hokey effort that his target audience will eat up.
-
60Married offers a positive, if melodramatically heightened, portrait of upper-middle-class African-American life, one broadly appealing enough to satisfy even the Nancy Meyers set, if only they'd give it a chance.
-
50A cameo by a well-known actor in the final scene suggests there will be a third ride on this familiar marriage go-round.
-
Plays like an empty but diverting beach read. Your brain recognizes that the dialogue, for example, doesn't come from any place that remotely resembles relationship reality.
-
50You won't find anything new here: the sequel is basically a retread of the original, in which Scott delivers the strongest emotional moments, while an amusingly over-the-top Smith perpetually breaks the tension.
-
50Easygoing effort at times feels over-baked and too full of Perry's now-trademarked melodramatics, but nevertheless should hit squarely at the target audience of the older African-American women that can't seem to get enough of what this director dishes out.
-
Mr. Perry himself plays Terry, the most reserved and mature of the group. At the risk of being condescending, it has to be said that if he had put on his dress and wig and shown up as Madea the movie might have been funnier.
-
50Tyler Perry grounds this sequel to "Why Did I Get Married?" (2007) in his trademark blend of comedy, soap opera, and down-home southern sentiment, though he lets up a little on the moral proselytizing, which aids the digestion considerably.
-
The movie's like an old sofa, overstuffed and misshapen, but so familiar that it gives comfort all the same.
-
Burdened with a bevy of unlikely plot twists, this is less a movie sequel than the latest installment in a big-screen soap opera.
-
30Could have used a touch of Madea's down-home, self-reliant wisdom to spice up the marital doldrums of these four buppie couples.
-
25WDIGMT? serves up speeches about trust and fidelity and rolling with the punches and blah blah blah. But it does so with so little energy that the actors might as well be saying the words blah blah blah.
