'Why Did I Get Married Too' is possibly the best film I have seen in half a year. It is also one of the best scripts. Written, directed, produced and starring Tyler Perry, we are greeted by four African-American couples who have marriage difficulties to one degree or another. Getting away to the Caribbean to 'escape from it all', the comic moments soon turn into drama as the layers of problems unravel. They continue to do so as we follow the four couples home to their everyday lives. Psychologist Patricia (Janet Jackson) plays a key role in the narrative: a psychologist forced to leave her analytic mind on her shrink's chair and enter the real world. Enter she does. Jackson't performance is powerful and wouldn't be surprised if she wins an oscar.
We also follow outrageous Angela (Tasha Smith), Sheila (Jill Scott) and lawyer Diane (Sharon Leal) and the drama encountered in their various lives. 'Why Did I Get Married Too' gives the strongest performances of any script this year. This is an original film that will wil make you laugh and cry; but mostly you will enjoy the drama. Highly recommended.
