Why Did I Get Married Too?

I still don't feel like we truly KNOW what was going on with Patricia and Gavin.

And as for Diane and Terry. . . I'm just like

I agree 100% with ALL of this.

I'm annoyed with Tyler Perry right now. I've resolved myself with the fact that the only TP movies that I will really like and watch nonstop are "Diary of a Mad..." and the first "Why Did I Get...." I'm not trying to support TP anymore. His movies are now relegated to Dollar Cinema, RedBox, or OnDemand.

I would not go to see a TP movie in a theater again unless it was a true-to-the-play version of Madea's Class Reunion (You gotta watch!)

I totally got what happened with Patty and Gavin. It's the same issue they had in the last movie too, but it's a little more transparent here: She was always intellectualizing everything, but never just knowing how to be open about her feelings. That's what he meant by "this is what it's like being married to a psychologist." ()Because of that, she couldn't show him love, she didn't know how because she was always so busy being objective. Then Noah died and she totally shut down. She went from objective to totally cold and he was sick of waiting for her to come out of it. Uuuuuhhh but him all on top of her saying "I'm gonna purge" was too much. It creeped me out, I thought he might rape her.

I thought Janet did well considering this was filmed right around the time Michael died. It definitely wasn't Oscar-worthy, but I could see she where she put a lot of her pain into Patty's pain.

Angela was WAAAAY over the top at times (like at the airport), but I still cracked up for the most part. BUT I think TP forgot that he ended the first movie with Angela promising to never drink again.

I felt the unraveling of Patty and Gavin's marriage dragged out too long and the grieving not enough. It would've been A+ if those two lengths of time had swapped.

And when Sheila did what she did, I wanted to scream, "Noooooo! Don't you remember what happened to Byrd in Soul Food!!!"

LOL! The whole time I'm reading ^YOUR^ post, I'm highlighting every blank spot just in something is white out

Ahhhh I hope it's not who I think it is!!! That would be a twist I wouldn't expect coming.

Her acting in the first one wasn't very good either, lol. I know that once I watch this one I have to expect a mediocre performance from Janet.

I saw it yesterday (and Im going again today for a friends bday)
I liked the first half the last half was disappointing.
Why is it the only character that has no shade about him is T.Perry's character? Like dude is always the good guy. I get that T.perry cant act, but c'mon son! He didnt do anything wrong in either movie. I would've liked for Diane to not be the A-hole in their relationship in this movie.

It would've been 2000 times funnier if Angela: would've busted in on Diane and Phill instead of her cleaning people.That would have been expected for me, but unexpected for most. I think it would've also made it more interesting and left the audience with less questions.
I hated the whole waiting room scene. In what world to people get back together soap opera style in the hospital? The WHOLE theater was pissed about that! Everyone was literally saying "Aw hell no!" out loud because that never happens in real life.
AND:
I wasnt surprised when Gavin got killed. I knew a couple wouldnt make it from the commercial and I knew the couple would be Gavin and Patty (because pretending to be perfect never works) because that was transparent as hell in the last movie. I figured one of them would die because divorce isnt shoking at all. I was pissed that Patty got to be deadasswrong the whole movie and then move on with the rock's fine ass. That was so NOT justice. She was the one messing up the relationship but they had her moving on like she was Jill Scott's character (the dutiful wife who'd tried everything but couldnt make it work because the hubby's an ass). She killed both the men in that marriage (the son and the husband) and they both died in car accidents because of her. She should be in the mental ward not talking to anyone with her whole "everything is fine silent treatment" ish she had going.

Diane was beyond STOOPID. I dont give a damn if you're hooked to a lie detctor that will electrocute you if you lie....If your man (especially your HUSBAND) asks you if you were thinking of another man (who you may or may not be having an affair with) while you two were making love and you were...you BETTER lie. Take that ish to the grave! Don't *in my Smokey from Friday voice* ever ever ever answer that question!

^^I agree w/ the Patty&Gavin thing. And my roomie said the same exact thing about the Angela-bedroom thing. I honestly thought it was Diane and Marcus. To me, that would've MADE the movie lol. And yes, Diane was a dumby for admitting that. Truly

[CDancer20]

I just came from seeing it. It was really good!

And I agree that I wanted to really know the truth behind Patricia and Gavin. Though I will admit that that ending came out of nowhere for me.

Between the rave over "Precious" and this movie, I conclude that Black people have really low expectations for movies. This is partly because of the small pool of "Black movies" that those of you us who like "Black movies" have to choose from.

However, the "Black movies" of previous generations and this generation that I really like are actually good movies. Black or not. I pity the fool who says otherwise.

Well, in defnese of Precious it did have Oscar winning writing and acting in it. WDIGMT....*Borat voice* not so much! lol.
I dont get people who are saying "OMG this is his/the best movie ever!" because it is not. Its like a good 50/50 or 60/40 combination of all things bad/good about Tyler Perry's movies.

I saw it again with the family today. It was better the second time IMO. I picked up on some things that I missed the first time so the movie made more sense the second time around.

My dad was HEATED with Patricia. He felt like she committed the ultimate sin by what she did bringing that cake to Gavin's job. He thought Gavin was wrong for the things he said at the house but Patty taking their business to the street was unforgivable. He got so seriously mad, he was literally yelling and ranting and raving about it on the ride home. We kept asking, "Why are you hollering? It was a movie; they're not even real people!" I knew men get easliy embarassed when their stuff goes public but DANG. Now I know why Troy was trippin' so hard. I thought he was a little ever the top but apparently that was an accurate portrayal of the male mind.

After the accident, Sister CG's eyes were popped out and her hands over her mouth for a full 60 seconds. Then she looked at me, sighed with contentment, and said "This is a Good. A--. Movie."

this movie was wack.

[starang21]

what truth is there to patricia and gavin? their marriage was a farce like he said. she didn't really love him.

at least at the time of the movie, she didn't really love him.

Patricia's @ss shoulda been beat for that....especially the contents.

@deepimpact...if you remember from the first, they lost their son. I don't think the how or why is important but more so that they neglected to properly allow themselves to grieve and be able to move on from their loss.
