It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This movie has the worst acting I have ever seen in any movie. I know it's supposed to be a comedy/drama but come on. It seemed like the actors were just standing there reading their lines. No real acting involved. The funny parts, or I assume the parts that were supposed to be funny, weren't funny at all. I would recommend all actors in this film go back to acting school. Janet Jackson certainly didn't do herself any favors by being in this movie. It's a Tyler Perry movie and I would have expected more from him. We are supposed to have 10 lines of text to be able to post a review. I don't have 10 lines of text to write about this review. If there were anything positive to say then maybe but as it stands I have nothing positive to say about this movie.

Dr. Patricia Agnew portrayed by songstress/ actress Janet Jackson, is a prominent psychologist and author of a best seller book on professional advice for marriage couples. The film "Why Did I Get Married?" written and produced by Tyler Perry, showcases real life situations about the relationship battles for truth, love, and acceptance. Dr. Patricia Agnew plans a getting away trip for her and spouse Gavin (Malik Yoba) along with their best couple friends Angela (Tasha Smith) and Marcus (Michael Jai White), who use loud, disruptive verbal communication as a means of interaction., along with friends Terry (Tyler Perry) and on scene wife Diane (Sharon Leal) who encounter distrust in their relationship, couple Mike and Sheila portrayed by Richard Jones and songstress and up in coming actress Jill Scott, who is tormented by the cruelty of her unfaithful husband. The couples retreat gets off to a rocky start as Angela makes a scene on the train about husband Marcus's loyalty to ex-girlfriend and baby momma drama. Initially the dysfunctional disruptive scenes are hilarious to watch however it becomes a bit overdone as the film continues. Terry and Diane find it hard to juggle the success in their careers and family life giving that Terry wants to have more family and less focus on careers. Talk about a change in events as writer and producer Tyler Perry sheds light on what is normally the married women's version of complaints in a marriage. The film also tackles some of life's even more serious chain of events that take place in relationships like physical and verbal abuse. Mike uses his wife's Sheila weight issues to justify his infidelity and cruelties toward her, Jill Scott's character Sheila delivers a message loud and clear that no matter if you're male or female you don't have to be a victim. The issue of loss and grief is established by Patricia and her husband Gavin who struggle to reconnect after the tragic death of their only child. The couple appears to have the only stable relationship in the film until it is later revealed that the grief between them is too deep to repair. Perhaps the big question is not "Why did I get married?" but why should we stay married? Married couples often struggle with these real life situations and the battles for truth, love, and acceptance can perhaps be avoided or at best minimized if couples were to seek marriage counseling before getting married. I absolutely enjoyed the film and the various characters portrayed. Thumbs up to Mr. Perry for another great movie.

I choose to the movie, Why Did I Get Married? Its a 2007 comedy-drama film written, produced, directed, and starring Tyler Perry, which came about after he did a play and also is the same name of this movie. This film stars Janet Jackson (Patrica), Jill Scott (Shelia), Malik Yoba (Gavin), Sharon Leal (Diane), Tasha Smith (Angela), Michael Jai White (Marcus), Richard T. Jones (Mike), and Keesha Sharp (Pam). Well, this film is about the changeling of maintaining a secure and happy relationship. Every so often eight married college friends go somewhere to reconnect with the other halves and see how everyone else are doing. They choose to go to Colorado for their annual week-long reunion. This was all great but everything shift when Anglea let's out a secret that Mike has been cheating on Shelia with Pam who is Shelia friend. Pam is also who the two invited to come on this trip. At this point secrets are a thing in the past. Apparently everyone has one. Over the time on this trip everyone has been second guessing Why Did I Get Married. This is the theme thru the movie.I feel Couples Retreat has the same theme. It's also about building and understanding what marriage is. This movie also showed four messed up marriages but people were afraid to see that things needed to change. These two similar I feel because they both are wondering why their together and how to simple it is to fix it.The lighting in this movie was very great. I was able to see the capture the feeling of them being outside by the fire in the dark. Most films look extra dark in scenes like that. I also enjoyed the lighting in the dark when Tyler was capturing the couples in their cabin rooms. I felt that was amazing. I feel anyone could capture great lighting in the day time but at night or in the dark is amazing. The music was on point in every scene. I was able to actually see and feel the scenes with the music. It helped the transitioning to the next scene or writing scene more real. I remember when Shelia was driving up the hill to meet with everyone and the gospel music came on. I really felt her strength and courage to fix her marriage. The whole scene was very powerful and spoke loudly to me because the music made it stand out.This movie is an amazing comedy, love, and great movie for relationships. Marriage is changeling but with the right two people you will know Why Did I Get Married..

I really did not want to see this because I have not liked perry's other works. however, I allowed my girlfriends to drag me to it. I got what I expected. A low class movie that was very bad from the direction, to the acting, to the production. I swear, I do not know what goes through casting folks minds when they make their choices. Have they even read the scripts at all? And I guess it is asking too much for the director to direct the actors and actresses. I say this because surely he can see what is going on in front of the camera, so he must know it is awful. So this would be the time to give the actors some direction to help them become better, and make something that won't have audiences washing their eyes out with bleach after viewing this garbage, and lamenting the fact that they are unable to physically gouge the memory of having seen this from their brain. It was my fault really, I know perry sucks, i know his movies suck, and I know after the last one, I said never again. Yet I went again anyway. I need to have my head examined.
