Tyler Perry’s latest project is movie that has generated a lot of buzz among audiences a day after its release. Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married? has given single people and couples alike a movie that they can all laugh about. Generally everyone who has seen the movie so far has really enjoyed it.

Tyler Perry’s third film as a director and fourth film as a writer has audiences around the country dying from laughter. An adaption of Perry’s hit stage play of the same title involves eight married college friends who go up to the beautiful snow covered mountains in Colorado. The story circles around these eight college friends. Dianne (Sharon Leal), who continues to focus on her career even though her husband, Tyler (Tyler Perry), becomes continually frustrated with the relationship.
Psychologist Patricia (Janet Jackson) and husband Gavin (Malik Yoba) have a hidden tragedy revealed, along with the constantly arguing Angela (Tasha Smith) and Marcus (Michael Jai White) yet still find a way to love each other. The final regular attendees of the week long trip Sheila (Jill Scott), who has struggled with her own self image stemming from her emotionally abusive husband, Mike (Richard T. Jones). Along with the regulars there are two new additions this year to the trip, Trina (Denise Boutte), who supposed to be Sheila’s girlfriend but is sleeping with her husband and Troy (Lamman Rucker) who has put his career on hold for his sick father. Expecting the weekend to relaxing as the previous one were, the relaxing mood is shattered, making each couple question the validity of their marriage after the infidelity of another couple is revealed.

It sounds like the storyline is very well developed after adapting it from the stage version. All the secrecy going on between the couples makes the situation very intriguing. The public seems to have enjoyed thus far, so something about the movie was done right. I generally haven’t been a fan of the Tyler Perry movies but this is the movie that may change my mind on them.
