Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? (Full Screen Edition)
$14.98

This is an inspiring movie for all audience-married and unmarried, all races, and all walks of life. Phenomenal direction, exquisite music, and superb acting by each of the cast members make it special.

It is not clear why Janet Jackson seems to get so much attention and credit from the other actors/actresses in the Special Features section. She has not performed any better than the others.

The all-Black characters of high education and gainful employment are encouraging role models in many ways for the Black and other youth who may be finding it hard to realize their own dreams of prosperity.

The characters have their own personal problems that make them human, but they somehow manage to deal with them all in one weekend and make decisions for the future. It is a get-together of not only friendship, old memories, reminiscence, fun, joy, and laughter, but also betrayal, distrust, heartache, tears, recovery and moving on- a very well-done movie of Tyler Perry quality.

The Marriage Counselor
$19.98
There are always parts of a play you don't care for but overall this was good. There was some overacting on the mother and daughters part. Palmer Williams made the play. He was funny and thorough in his part.
The white girl could sing but she was not a good actress. Every word out of her mouth seemed rehearsed because it wasn't her way of speaking. She just couldn't get it across in the way she should have.
The girl that played the wife was not realistic with her screaming, and intentionally humiliating the husband. The husband was just plain stupid. I don't know if I disliked him or the wife more. He was just as bad as she was. I only enjoyed him when he interacted with the father. I don't even want to talk about the guy who played the other man.
I enjoyed the woman who played the stripper (excuse me, exotic dancer)I thought she was quite funny. Her husbands role wasn't really significant, not enough to call it good or bad.
The big girl was hilarious as well. There was more good than bad in this play. Yes, there have been better, but there have also been worse. I thought Palmer Williams was exceptional. I laughed almost every time he was on the screen. Seeing him in The House of Payne does him no justice. I actually borrowed the dvd from my neice to watch, but I am going to purchase it. I give it 4 stars.

The movie was just fine, there were no problems with the product and the movie quality was just fine.

No comments below are for racist purposes, only honest observation.

I'm comparing this to his other work Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea Goes To Jail.

This movie has the same formula as the other movies:

1. Black people = majority. White people never serve a major role in this guy's movie, the best they can be is the background actors. This is NOT a racist comment, this is the truthful observation, anyone that watches Tyler's movies, especially those listed above, should have seen it a mile away. I'd go into more details, but meh....I know this movie is situated in Atlanta and the majority are black, however, in his movies you can clearly see white people in the background so you can't possibly justify his racially VERY unbalance group of actors.

2. Has Madea (only in this movie, she appears a lot less often and has weaker lines and actions).

3. The teaching of moral value, he likes making movies that speak out to the black community, but should appeal partially as well to everyone else.

4. Usually has relationship or domestic issues like being abused or whatnot.

5. Fairytale ending or good ending. Sorry, but because he's using real life situations, he should not fool people into thinking that everything works out great in the end with everyone singing and smiling and the world is working itself out. Tell that to my life. Real life situations do NOT always end great and does not always end up with you being with some sort of hottie/stud that is perfect in every way. Also, many of the people in this movie, especially the lead actors, are unrealistically good looking. I just don't understand why someone so concentrated with real life situation portray real life in such a fabcriated and exaggerated manner. This goes for most of his movies.



Sorry to say, but this movie is nowhere NEAR as good as the two movies I listed above. Madea, as said, appears less often. The humor isn't as fun, even the drama is not as well built because you really start to notice that he's starting to use the same formula, it is almost a mimic. He's starting to lose his credibility as a writer in my personal opinion. I felt this way about this movie because it's the third one I've watched after the other two. It works in this formula:

FORMULA:
1. Girl has problem with guy.
2. Then comes the perfect black man that not only looks perfect, but acts perfect (how unrealistic? So what...you have to look good in order to be good to a woman? A perfect gentleman does NOT have to look like a stud...that's one negative to Tyler Perry's movies, he hits in a realistic mark but his characters and the way they're fabricated is unrealistic to the majority of the population)
3. Then she tries to work it out and in the end you get a moral teaching of some sort and everything works out like some sort of fairytale.

In this movie, it's a bit different from that formula, but watch those two other movies first than watch this one. You'll see that I mean. He lost a lot of credibility in my book.

Tyler Perry, if you're reading this... (LMAO Yeah right...), your movies are great! They're so good I actually made my mom watch it and she loved it, which is rare. But please change your formula and the way you write your movies. You do not have to stick with the same stuff over and over.

Maybe make a movie where the guy is the one that is abused first or the person that rescues her is not some stud. If it takes a stud to rescue a woman, then 99.9% of the women out there are doomed. Ethnicity balance is bad in his movies, please don't even try to justify this. Also, include Madea more. She lightens up the movie and makes it much more enjoyable to watch.


As always, acting in this movie is fantastic. The script just feels a bit uninspired and not as strong this time around.
