Tyler Perry is not a subtle man.

Isn't there anything better for the urban-marketed movies than this dreck?

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 28, 2008

Unfortunately, for all its superficial entertainment value, Perry-ites won't recognize much of Why Did I Get Married? And in this case, a lack of familiarity just may breed contempt.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 1, 2008

A simple, feeble-minded film with a high-school-level screenplay.

| Original Score: D | Oct 23, 2007

Tyler Perry's latest comedy has adult themes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2007

There's such an overriding sense of soap opera that I kept expecting a commercial break.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 19, 2007

Why Did I Get Married covers a lot of emotional and cultural ground in its two hours.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2007

...the characters are less cardboard, the dialogue less awkward than in some of Perry's other movies...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2007

Perry's film made me laugh frequently and whole-heartedly; more so than any theatrically released American film has in many months.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 19, 2007

Critic-proof, many-hatted Tyler Perry has done it again: delivered an overreaching and overexpositional melodrama that opened at No. 1.

| Original Score: C | Oct 18, 2007

Incredible star Jill Scott is the one to watch in "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" The show is a star vehicle for Scott and an intelligent, entertaining dramedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 17, 2007

Amid the shout-downs over adultery, male power, and the agony of coping with a child's death, one performance glistens -- Jill Scott's as the sad, heavyset Sheila, who locates the faith that's the source of love.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 17, 2007

It's alarming that American film critics alienate themselves from the aspects of Perry's films that should be universal.

Full Review | Oct 17, 2007

The real question for me about Tyler Perry's Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? came about 30 minutes into the film: 'Why am I watching this movie?'

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2007

None of these flaws will matter much to Perry's devoted audiences, whose support has enabled him to virtually build a media empire.

Full Review | Oct 16, 2007

Despite the improbable ease of pic's genteel psychoanalysis, the characters are thesped with enough depth and emotional investment to make their problems feel legit.

| Oct 16, 2007

'Can these marriages be saved?' is the recurring theme raised by this alternately enlightening and entertaining Tyler Perry tour de force.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 15, 2007

Perry's films are review-proof and he knows it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2007
