The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This was the perfect movie for me, hence the 10/10 rating! Why, because the educated, middle- upper class African American populace has waited too long to be represented in movies about African Americans. Tyler Perry's directing grew up in this movie and should be an example of what we expect and demand to see in movies. This movie was long past due as I grew tired of the "ghetto fabulous" antics that were delivered in most movies.As articulate as I normally am; I'm at a lost of words. I saw the movie Saturday and was extremely sleepy upon entering the theater (10:15pm show). However; this movie kept me connected with a great plot and great comedy. The rising action, climax, and falling action were well written; not that I expected any less from Tyler Perry. I found myself wanting the movie to continue on after the credits. Although I've heard some people mention certain aspects of the movie were predictable, that shouldn't be construed as negative. It's predictable, because we've either witnessed it or we were a product of it. There are some surprises which you will be happy to see! In short, this movie is for the grown, sexy, & successful! If you fit that category, then go and see this movie, you will not be disappointed! P.S. For African Americans; this movie should make you want to step up your game. Go to college, get degrees, and be successful in markets other than sports and entertainment. Open your mind to an infinite array of possibilities and I guarantee you will not be disappointed! We are better than what we are offering society as a race!

..It's like watching the God Father 2 without watching the God Father..Some sequels you can do that and still understand, but not with this series...It carries on and just catches you up to where they are now and hopefully in the future...I tried in the beginning to watch the second one at first without seeing the first and didn't understand it either, but when I watched the first and then saw the second it made more sense to me.I do wish that they would focus a little more on Pat and Gavin's relationship...It would make the plot a lot better, but sometimes it's hard to get all of the relationships in the 2 and half hour film allotment.

"Why Did I Get Married Too?" is a good movie. I think it plays pretty well, and the situations are really good. One of the things that makes this movie good is that it's not a copy of the first movie. This movie has a new setting, new situations, and the characters have grown since the first movie. I want to see what's happening with them and how their conflicts are going to be resolved. The drama is not only suspenseful, but it also makes sense. You can understand where all of this came from. It's pretty good to see these same characters who have changed and stretched and how they react to the new situations.While the movie is good, though, I have to say I was very unsatisfied. I don't know why, but I wasn't as invested in this movie as I was in the first movie. There are moments where the movie drags a bit, and that takes you out of the moment some. But my main problem is the ending. I'm not too upset about Gavin dying, although that did come out of nowhere in a somewhat distasteful way. No, my trouble is with the following scene in the hospital. All of the couples are there soothing Pat, when she tells them to stop and turn to each other to fix their relationships.Now, first of all, I do understand what this is supposed to be. The message here is don't stay in the negativity and issues of your relationships, but rather fix the problems so you can spend your time in energy cherishing the other person and the relationship. That's a great and powerful message! What I don't like is how they do it. Like I said, Pat is crying, the characters are soothing her, and she tells them to stop and turn to each other and fix it. And that's exactly what they do! Just like that, they fix their problems! That's pretty weak! The genius of Tyler Perry's work is how well they reflect real life. This scene is more of something out of a fairy tale. If you want to show the other characters fix it, then let's see them fix it. Let's have them sit down and talk things out. Having that being said, I believe Marcus & Angela fixed their relationship. We saw them sit and have a conversation. I can sort of buy the Troy & Angela story because Troy worked things out with Mike, but we never saw him talk to Angela herself after the whole Mike situation. But what about Terry & Dianne? The last scene we saw with them ended so heavily; they never worked things out after that! Yeah, I don't like that.Finally, what was up with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's cameo at the end? That was really random and really pointless.True, the movie drags sometimes and the ending is weird, but besides that, I really like this movie. I think it's good, and it would been much better if the scenes didn't drag and the ending was more realistic. I still actually recommend this movie. It's not bad, but it could be better. Take a look at it. BOOYIKA!

I had doubts about watching the prequel to this movie to begin with ("Why Did I Get Married?"). It's rating upon this site is quite low, and the opinions of my peers were not very positive either. However, after viewing and being very moved by Perry's "For Colored Girls", I wanted to sample more of his artistry anyhow. Though I was apprehensive of the first movie, I did not find it to be so terrible after I saw it.The characters introduced can sometimes come off as overly abrasive, loud, and at other times, so meager, and pitiful, that sympathy is difficult to conjure for them. Upon watching their stories further, and seeing the plights of the individuals and their relationships, the drama and madness behind all their actions become understood and somewhat justifiable, although they can at times be outlandish. As such, I chose to view their plots an exaggerated portrayal of the adversities within a marriage, rather than an exact one.I was curious to see how the characters' lives continued after that terrible vacation in Colorado. Sadly, I killed the entire "Why did I Get Married?" enterprise for myself. In my opinion, the sequel "Why Did I Get Married Too?" very much trivialized it's predecessor. When at one point I thought that the scripts were very much related to love, loss, and moving forward, this movie has conveyed nothing to it's viewers either than; If you have low self esteem or a husband who drowns his pain and neglect with alcohol, a new man is all you need make it all better. This theme was very romantic and well deserved in the first instalment, but pressed a very negative button for me in this one, as it was both unromantic and, in my opinion, undeserving. Plus, I can't take Dwayne Johnson's face seriously. Maybe that's what ruined everything. When I see him I just think bad movies and even worse wrestling. Not to mention, he didn't really "fit" the scene. He looked awkward. I don't know how else to put it, folks. Just awkward. At any other point, I would suggest viewing it for oneself, but I'm trying to help you, so I won't.Initially, this movie left me looking at the screen with a quizzical expression, wondering if any of these characters had learnt ANYTHING at all from the psychological studies, exercises, and scream-match trips they take annually. Upon realizing the answer was "no", I then began to feel like I, in turn, wasted my own time, having watched movies in the hopes that they would. Of course, utter peace and harmony does not a good movie make, but the extent of their drama and angst says that a lesson ought to be learnt by at least one of them BEFORE the end of the movie. Oddly enough, the only one who I thought really did so, was the only character that was single throughout the whole movie! Maybe there's a point to be made with that... But still, there was no satisfactory ending to this. However, that is by no means a reason to continue this story any further. I knew I should have stopped when I saw Angela's pink flask.
