A College Student’s View of Why Did I Get Married Too
Alright, I just got back from seeing the new Tyler Perry movie. So here is the Why Did I Get Married Too movie review. There are some highs and some lows, but it still constitutes a movie worth seeing because of the highs. Tyler Perry is definitely something to look for if a person has never seen any of his movies, usually they are either spot on or quite awful. For once this movie isn’t exactly as easy as the other, being obviously great or bad.
There is definitely a plot line and it is easy to follow, a common trait of all of his works. He never tries to create a story that is foreign or irrelevant. Literally the title says it all, “why did I get married?” This is chapter two of four couples from the end of the first one. Surprisingly they have new problems in each of their relationships, except for Angela and Marcus; it seems like the same old problem. Diane could possibly be cheating, Troy is jobless, and Patricia and Gavin are on the rocks. He cleverly takes you inside each of the characters and offers enough drama to keep you entertained.
There are lots of memorable characters throughout the movie that are relatable in the sense that most people know someone like that in their lives. Perry has a natural knack for exposing people’s weaknesses and flaws in a way that is natural and not forced. Immediately we recognize that Angela is an in-your-face kind of person that refuses to take anyone’s mess especially her husband’s. Patricia, Janet Jackson, is the model person that seems to keep everything bottled up although she has all the answers for everyone else. And even Terry, Tyler’s character, is the model husband that pays attention to all details and has a lot of the advice on women, to just showcase a few.
However even with all the good parts something that was surprising which was the ending. The previews were right, one couple doesn’t make it, but not for the reason that you would think. Perry is a writer that I can appreciate because he does well with tying up all loose ends by the end of whatever he writes, from the plays to the movies. But this time it was a little different because Angela and Marcus are left in the same predicament and Patricia and Gavin’s problem simply abruptly ends. Although I won’t give away the ending, the ending was definitely rushed. He attempts to make ties, even though it is rushed and probably need thirty more minutes in an already two hour and fifteen minute movie. Also a thing that’s a flaw a long with the rushing, was some of the scenes went in and out of focus and some of the sound was slightly muffled at times. Whether this was a specific issue with just the theater, like the sound, or with the movie, the focusing was undoubtedly a problem with shooting the film, but I don’t know which one it was. But it was still an issue.
In the end the movie is definitely worth seeing although you may be okay with the ending or slightly disappointed. Not because it’s bad, only rushed. This Why Did I Get Married Too movie review gives it 4 out of 5 stars.
