She loved him and didn't know it. Janet always said, "You don't know what you got till it's gone."

Oh come on, the movie ended with her smiling at him. That's not the same as a holler. He was the one with all the holleration going on.

NO! She did the LL like lip? I just saw the Cheshire Cat grin. Which, grieving widow or not, one is required to give if The Rock is looking at you like that. I'm not even on him like that and I know the rules.

That movie was lame. He could have just made "why did I get married" and been done with it. There was some many things in that movie that wouldn't happen irl. Something told me to wait for it on dvd. And the ending was far beyond lame.

Pretty is far to tame a word to use to describe all the maleness that is The Rock. He is delectable.
Is it just me or did Janet look like a chunky chipmunk? She was quite um bloated in the film. And why do they refuse to give Jill Scott a decent figure (which she actually has) and a decent wig? Just ONE good wig! Please!
In other news I would love to fall into Sherif Troy's strong arms and just dive into his dimples. Thatisall.

I didnt read all the comments but...
Here is a note my friend wrote on FB and I agree with EVERYTHING...
Now my friends will tell you, I rarely go to the movies because I wait till it comes out on dvd or I get it on bootleg. But I try to support black films..and I just love seeing Tyler Perry films in the theater because the audience makes it sooo funny with all their cooning. I actually liked Why Did I Get Married? so I thought hey why not…
…BUT OMG WTF WAS THIS!!!!
Is it just me or did I see Janet’s breasts one too many times in the film? More like in EVERY scene!
Speaking of bodies…Tyler..i’m noticing in every film some guy is greased up..or too sexy for life... not that I’m complaining totally…but lets give it a rest or come out already .. did yall peep TP baby abs? he trying…I see you boo lol now shave that ground beef off your chest
Oh wait did he have someone greased up in The Family That Preys? I cant recall, that’s prolly why I liked the film..but I digress
I love Angela (Tasha Smith)! But I hated her in this film…and if there was ever a reason for interracial dating me not liking her..it was because she was soooo loud and ignorant in this film! In the first one I gave it a pass, but this time it became too much. Nevermind that I felt like I was in a Sony commercial because she was so loud and when u pair that with deafening movie speakers…my hair was moving and shit…her husband Marcus (Michael Jai White) looked so tired throughout the film..and I understand…and in what world would a loud ass woman make it onto a national station and not get bodyslammed? At least lil mama got on stage quietly
Speaking of that…I must be an old skool hoe because I don’t believe coming to a man job starting shit..no matter how pissed I am..i wont be that rude, I wouldn’t want that shit happening to me…so with Angela being all types of ignant on tv…and Patricia (Janet) coming to Gavin (Malik Yoba) job with a gay man in a cake…OMG…
Did yall peep what I just said?? YES…she came to this man's job with a gay man popping out of a cake…I literally fell out from all the drama..wtf was that soap opera shit about?
I understand Gavin and Patricia were having problems, but it had to be more than “you don’t love me” for them to be acting out like this…that drunken scene…THE MOST!
Did you see the demonic tongue Gavin gave Patricia when they were fighting…ewww! I will say I applauded Janet tho…I never seen her act like this and it was refreshing to know that she isn’t a robot lol…not to mention she spoke above a whisper…you go girl!
But I feel like their problems went from 0 to 60...she calling him all types of 'bishes' in the street...oh ok i see how it goes
Terry and Diane’s (Tyler Perry & Sharon Neal) relationship problem was well done..it was subtle..and then they brought it out in a non dramatic fashion…I mean how do you deal with someone who is emotionally cheating on you? Thinking of someone else while you’re having sex with your mate? Yikes….too bad it was resolved horribly (I will get to that in a bit)…I had a hard time with Tyler convincing me that he’s straight
BUT...it was clear who was the man in Terry and Diane's relationship...what man do you know will sit back and let his wife do some foul shit..then be all feminine about it..that whole 38 days ago i noticed you were...insert some absurd shit here ...really Tyler..maybe its me but if a dude get a hint his girl is foul he would let the hoe know lol...only women play that detective shit...
the more that I think about it..how the HELL did Terry & Diane relationship last? in the first she tying tubes and he getting secret paternity tests...all they do is lie!
I liked Troy (Lamman Rucker) and Sheila (Jill Scott) as a couple too…although I felt like Sheila was an unstable nagging-ass woman...I liked them...but I had a problem with the way her ex-husband Mike (Richard T. Jones) was brought into the mix. It woulda been ok if he happened to be chilling on the island and he bumped into one of them and then started snooping around…but no! tyler wants to be really dramatic he had to stay in the same suite during the same time as everyone else…who tipped him off? And Sheila should know better than to ask her ex to help her new husband with a job! Yall saw Soul Food!
Call me selfish...but Sheila..this man treated you like shit..played you for a fool and slept with your best friend...but somehow this man gets cancer and you want to play his caregiver? fool all you get is a shoutout in a prayer fugg outta here
And I’m tired….so I’m gonna end this…
Lol that’s how Tyler ended the movie…just real abrupt and comically (although that probably wasn’t his intent). Its almost like he wrote this like: “ok lets take some real life issues and exaggerate them x1000…then lets bring them on an island for no other reason but for their problems to blow up in their faces…lets throw Mike back in the mix and give him cancer…lets have Patricia and Gavin act like psychos…oh im too tired to develop these character issues so lets kill Gavin so everyone else can forget about their issues and hug in a kumbaya fashion…oh and lets bring the Rock in…just cause I’m Tyler and I like man candy in my films.”
The ending was sooo bad! Nothing was resolved..I think Tyler was going for the whole “life is too short” message, but it was poorly done. You cant honestly believe I’m gonna forget everything that happened because someone died…no..we gonna grieve, and then we gonna fix this shit! And everyone stood up in a “we are the world” way…ohhh c’mon…
by the way...the way Gavin died was like a scene from final destination...all random and startling...
If you didn’t read the whole note..just know this…I didn’t like the movie..not only because the ending sucked ass and the “characters” were more like caricatures…but everything moved waaayy too fast. This film could have easily been 3 separate films given all the problems they had..
And Tyler…please stop making women in your films needy, emotionally broken, or vindictive ALL THE TIME. And then the men are violent, cheating types who cant stand to be around the women they are with…do better…
I try to give Mr. Perry props…but I cant for this..it was a bad soap opera…and..I forgot my train of thought..oh well….so did Tyler

TP successfully distracted you from her chipmunk cheeks and her waistline.

I won't be buying this on dvd and watching it a trillion times like I watch my "Why Did I Get Married" dvd. Maybe it will grown on me. We shall see.

I liked it more the 2nd time around.  It made more sense and the storyline was less rushed and fractured.
The humor, suspense, and drama were less failed. The scene with a drunk Malik Yoba was still funny--but I think it was supposed to be at certain points. It is TP, afterall.
The ending was less abrupt and made more sense.
I noticed some things that I didn't see the first time. I noticed continuity issues such as when Janet had on the white shoes when she went to the job but they were black when she stored across the grass--and then white again at the hospital. I also noticed how she did a JJ/MJ dance move in the parking lot as Yoba was getting into his car.
I take back what I said about Black folks having low expectations in liking this movie. This movie was okay in the longrun..."Precious" sucked.

And I normally wouldn't comment on such things because she isn't "overweight." It's just that she's a notorious weight fluctuator. She might be 60lbs lighter and have rock hard abs by tomorrow.
