Why Did I Get Married? Review Summary
Tyler Perry's latest foray into feature film, Why Did I Get Married stars Perry, Janet Jackson and Jill Scott in another of his stories about relationships. As a group of married college friends gather in Colorado for their yearly reunion, they begin to question their marriages and relationships after one of the couples reveals their infidelity. Reviewers felt "The theatrical version of Why Did I Get Married scored points, but not big points" even "through every emotion through joy to soul-wrenching pain". Reviewers were divided on the cast, some praising the acting of the women leads and at least one writer thought that, as an actress, Janet Jackson is a great singer. While praise for the film was not stratospherically high, no one hated it. Some took issue with the way some scenes played out, thinking them unrealistic. Realistic or not, reviewers felt the film will resonate and "You will definitely be talking about this film the next day after seeing it"

comedy fan, into action flicks
I have semi-enjoyed most of Tyler Perry's movies. Some of them seem funny only at times, and yet they aren't horrible enough to say I will never see another one. That being said, this was hilarious...lots of "remember when this happened" parts to discuss with friends. Jill Scott who (as far as I know) has only done acting on Girlfriends, crossed over really well. I really enjoyed her character, especially at the end. However, Janet Jackson, who I admire as a dancer and singer, was horrible. I never thought of her as a good actress and I grew up watching her…

into movies that tell a great story, DVD collector
The movie moved you and head you asking the question why did i get married. the lead played by Jante Jackson did a great job as the head doctors getting you to think. the actress that i looked up to the most was Jill scott she took a lot off her husband and would have stayed in the relationship had he not brought his mistress on the trip. If it had been me i would have known something was wrong when he made me drive all the way to the mountain when the mistree got to ride in the air plaine along side her husband. A true friend would have went with you and when you being married for over…

Tyler Perry truly outdone himself with this one. I must say that it was a relief to watch one of his movies that didn't have the Madea character thrown all through it. The characters were really thought out and the storyline was heartfelt. — — This movie took me through many different emotions.... I laughed so hard...I cried until my chest hurt...I was angered until I wanted to shout... Yes, TP outdid himself on this one. —…

an infrequent movie goer
The Movie, "Why Did I Get Married?", is an amazing accomplishment for Tyler Perry as a director. As actors, Janet Jackson and Jill Scott were gret - but Scott was clearly the breakaway. Her deeply moving protrayal was so engaging I found myself both empathizing strongly for her - through every emotion through joy to soul-wrenching pain. — Get this movie, a group of your ADULT friends and enjoy! —…

an infrequent movie goer
I love Tyler Perry and this play/film has a great story for everyone. It has one big story line but what I liked most about it was that each different character in the movie/film has a smaller story line which ties the movie all together. Great actors in both the film and play and one of his better films/plays. Would watch it over and over and over and…

watching chick flicks
I thought the movie was great, but only had 1 unrealistic part which was when they were all at the table telling secrets. The minute that happened not only should she have hit him with the bottle but everybody else would have got him too and would no longer speak to…
