More than anything, a Tyler Perry movie is an interactive experience, and Why Did I Get Married? is no exception. At the screening I attended, it was often difficult to hear the dialogue between bouts of enthusiastic applause and shouts of “You go, girl!”

The most disappointing thing here, besides Perry's ongoing visual impairment (he deserves better cinematography and editing) is Scott.
The problems are real; the solutions are ... well, really entertaining. Perry mixes heartfelt drama with bold-stroke, insult-slinging comedy.
Perry is of the spell-everything-in-capital-letters and act-it-out-loudly schools. Yet his sensitivity to women is a tonic.
The writer-director-producer-star would rather save your soul and your marriage than engage your aesthetics. That’s probably why every other line was greeted at my screening with a chorus of stern “Mm-hmms” and “Exactlys!”
The movie has a better sense of flow than his past efforts, and a few lengthy travelling Steadicam shots and some decent mountain scenery (supplied by B.C. rather than Colorado) help dispel the feeling that Perry has merely filmed another of his plays.
Though fans might miss Perry's genre-exploding daring, the excellent cast injects enough pathos and zing to keep picture percolating.
Perry certainly loves his divas -- the best parts are written for Scott and the wonderful Smith.
As has been previously demonstrated in the hugely successful Perry's stage, television and big-screen works, subtlety and tonal consistency are not his strong suits. Here, the mostly broadly drawn characters and situations on display quickly prove grating, with the film veering awkwardly between broad comedy and melodrama.
Smith emerges as this subtlety-impaired film's most intriguingly ambiguous character, at times an acid-tongued shrew and at others a bluntly righteous truth-teller. The liveliness of her performance helps ensure that while Married is stiffly written, didactic, and whiplash-inducing in its tonal shifts, it's also very seldom dull.
被片名骗进去看,我真不是种族歧视,但看着一群黑人念叨台词就很带有hip hop说唱感,看不下去。
且行且珍惜
再次证明我的观点是对的
甭管爱情是啥,婚姻就是一场交换,平衡这交换的,是忍耐。
彪悍的安琪拉和懦弱的马库斯,知性的帕特利西亚和好男人加文,女强人戴安娜和顾家的特里,善良的big girl谢拉和警长特洛伊,坏男人麦克和小三特琳娜,这一对对欢喜冤家,born for each other。另,MJ的妹妹的口音明显跟其他黑人不一样。
家庭是我拥有过的最美好的东西,感恩。真想去他们度假的雪屋,湖边,美死人了。
一帮男人,分不清哪个是哪个.简单的生活故事,给三星是因为名字起得太恶俗了.
无聊的很。
作为纯黑人电影可以轻松北美周末票房冠军,Tyler Perry家庭剧功力可见一斑。
3.5剧情安排方面不算很太出彩的片子,但是每个人的性格塑造太成功了。完全的现实,每一个人都有我爱的部分和我厌恶的部分,安吉拉,倒是可以找到自己的一些影子。希拉,在洗手间说的那段话,以及出来之后的表现,真的是太lady了~~~·
生活处处有JQ
首先,这绝对不是一部喜剧片;其次 ,在探讨婚姻的爱情片中,这部片无论从剧情还是立意都不落俗套。【PS:几个朋友每年都花一个星期风雨无阻聚在一起度假真是一件美妙的事。】
无意中发现的好电影,80 /20法则
剧情和配乐不错,就是故事多了点.
好像前戏,九浅一深,嘎然而止
婚姻保卫战
懂得珍惜
没想到Janet和Jill会有交集。只能说黑人都是天生的演员。演技超自然。然后始终分不清楚那几个丈夫谁对谁。看上去黑人男人长得都一样
剧情是那种一猜就对的风格,后面有点敷衍了事,那么大的矛盾简简单单就烟消云散了吗?我其实冲着JANET才看的,希望她以后也能多演些电影!
