WHY DID I GET MARRIED? 4/10 WHY DID I GET MARRIED? showed 4 couples who go on a retreat and, by the end, they had all decided whether to stay married or not. Tyler Perry was clearly aware of how unnecessary WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO? would be because, even though there was enough closure, he changed some things around so the plot could continue no matter the contradictions: -In the 1st installment, GAVIN was the calm and rational member of the group. Here, he's an abusive drunk. -In the 1st installment, MARCUS stood up to his wife ANGELA, who was always a jerk to him. She apologized and changed. Here, their dynamic is back to how it was. -In the 1st installment, MIKE was also a jerk to his wife SHEILA, but that was it. Here, we're told that he used to hit her too, even though there were no hints of that before. I can't say that I'm shocked, though. It's not like the previous movie had good continuity with itself (why did the guys stay friends with MIKE, who revealed their secrets and almost ruined their marriages?). That being said, while it was a melodrama, it was relatively restrained. There weren't that many scenes of people yelling while crying. I think Perry was trying to surpass himself in that regby adding more of those here. The actors' performances and chemistry with one another are once again good, the cinematography is once again weak and the conflicts are once again too neatly wrapped-up (but in a very different way). 3/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.
