JayH.Feb 9, 20084Tyler Perry movies suffer from poor and amateurish writing, below average acting and the same story just told in a different way. Doesn't he have any original material? The situations are melodramatic and not real life, the story lacks continuity, focus and the situations are predictable.

BrigitteN.Oct 13, 200710This movie was wonderfully done. I struggle with enjoying Tyler Perry's movies because unfairly I compare them to his plays. I was supringsly excited and laughing throughout the entire movie. My fiance' and I had a wonderful evening together ( in more ways then one). Thanks to "Why did I get married?"

LuisG.Feb 20, 20086Tyler Perry has crafted a pleasant film.. nothing extreme just a docile dosage of soap opera material without the wink ... Jill Scott was great as the rest of the cast.. Funny moments.

YvonneB.Oct 14, 200710I thought it was hilarious, moving and very truthful. It offered all sides, views and situations. Quit labeling Tyler and really look at the movie. It was well worth the cost and I want to see it again. It took me through a range of emotions all good for the soul.

PM.Oct 15, 200710The movie was very realistic. Marriage does have its problems however, Tyler helped couples to problem solve through honesty. Even though 3 of the 4 couples stayed together, the 80/20% rule helped us see it is not always greenier on the other side. It is better to work with what you have invested in than to marry someone just for their looks. I loved it! It was very thought provoking.

DeniseBOct 22, 20078This movie was very entertaining. I don't think most people who have seen it would argue with that. It was also great to see African Americans portrayed both as successful and beautiful, something that is rarely seen in Hollywood movies. Kudos to Tyler!

LonteriusD.Mar 8, 20085This 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.

ALewisNov 19, 200710This movie was great. It helped my husband and I look at a deeper meaning in marriage. The point of his films is the message people get from viewing it. Some people who rate it low are very shallow people and are probably very bitter people. You need a hug.

JoyOct 14, 200710Janet and Jill definitely get my vote for Oscars! Outstanding cast, very strong performances from all. I laughed, cried, had a wonderful time, and LEARNED something! Mr. Perry is truly talented and will continue to bless audiences for many, many years.

RickM.Oct 14, 20070Terrible racial stereotype fest. Poor directing, acting and writing. Just awful.

VadaD.Oct 15, 200710Excellent movie. Lots of funny parts and lots of dialog (like the 80/20 rule) that will stay with you. My husband enjoyed it too.

-
ArtMNov 5, 20076No, this was not an excellent film. Does it deserve a 0 or 1, absolutely not. It just proves how hateful people can be. I cannot fathom why anyone would actually go to see the film and then be surprised at its content. If you did not like this previous films, what would have made this one that much different. Perry is nothing, but predictable. Hmmmm.

DuaneY.Oct 15, 200710Perry's best movie to date, human and real.

DonnaN.Oct 16, 200710I really enjoyed this movie. This is one of his best movies. Tyler has done his thing again. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD.

MarcusA.Oct 18, 20070When will you people stop being idiots. Tyler Perry is not funny, and his movies aren't funny either. This is not a good movie, at all.

-
KendriaEOct 24, 200710This is my movie. I really enjoyed watching all of Tyler Perry's plays and movies because there is always something that could be taken and applied to our lives. His movies always have me cracking my side.

-
MarieG.Oct 24, 20079The movie was great. It sent a strong message to married couples. However, I feel too much profanity was used for the spiritual aspect of it. In reality Christians have troubles, but they have better choices of words - even when arguing.
-
-
ChrisS.Mar 30, 20087The thing that bothers me has nothing to do with the acting content. It merely has to do with the fact that Mr. Perry feels the need to label every single one of his project has "his." Is it because this man has a big ego, or maybe because he just wants every single type of credit he can get.

AndieJ.Oct 14, 20079Tyler Perry has done it again!! I love to see positive portrayals of Black people for a change. It would be great if we could see this in other movies. But until Hollywood recognizes this, I guess we'll have to keep applauding MR. PERRY for taking up the slack. Thank you Tyler!!!

The problems are real; the solutions are ... well, really entertaining. Perry mixes heartfelt drama with bold-stroke, insult-slinging comedy.
-
50As has been previously demonstrated in the hugely successful Perry's stage, television and big-screen works, subtlety and tonal consistency are not his strong suits. Here, the mostly broadly drawn characters and situations on display quickly prove grating, with the film veering awkwardly between broad comedy and melodrama.
-
70Though fans might miss Perry's genre-exploding daring, the excellent cast injects enough pathos and zing to keep picture percolating.
