Why Did I Get Married Too?

This movie holds the distinction of being the first sequel in the Tyler Perry canon and its a distinction that's made more apparent when the film turns out to be nothing more than rehash of the first. I'm not kidding here. Instead of going on a retreat in the mountains, the cast goes on a retreat to the beach and unlike the first movie, nothing of any real interest happens here because the problems the couples are facing aren't that different from the first film. The biggest offenders here are Marcus and Angela, the comedic couple. If I recall, a big problem with their relationship in the first movie was Angela's drinking problem, which was resolved by the films end. Here, she's apparently relapsed and no one really seems to call her out on it. It seems to just be an excuse to have her over react to everything like she did before...it worked then and it does still work, but it just feels like Tyler Perry didn't know what do with her and her husband this time.

As a matter of fact, Tyler Perry really didn't seem to know what he was doing with any of the characters. Sheila, the most likable female character from the first film, kinda becomes of a twat, mainly because she keeps trying to use her abusive past as an excuse to act like she's entitled to something. There's a bit more melodrama here, mostly involving Janet Jackson's character leading to a pretty over the top moment where she goes around breaking all her glass furniture with a golf club, it pretty good stuff. The downside to the extra drama is that it all leads the biggest bullshit of an ending I've seen in while. A tragedy happens in like the last four minutes of the movie that conveniently allows all of the couples to reconcile their differences and then the movie kinda just ends on a force happy ending that takes place one year later. I seriously think this movie would have been better if Perry had just used the same concept as the original movie, but with a different cast. As it stands this is one forgettable movie.
