Why Did *YOU* Get Married?!?
First, I'm a white male in my late 20s.
A friend of mine introduced me to Tyler Perry's work, and more importantly, Madea. I was instantly hooked. Recently, my friend had let me borrow the play version of "Why Did I Get Married?" and I was reluctant to watch it because Madea was not in it.
I went to this movie with the same skepticism, but I was NOT disappointed. Tyler Perry is much more than one dimensional. Albeit, Madea is an amazing character, Tyler Perry playing a male character is just as good. Don't get me wrong, there were flashes of Madea coming from Mr. Perry, especially when he would say things like, "What the hell?!?" Madea was barely missing, because Mr. Perry wrote Madea-like parts for the other characters in the film. If you want to see a black woman "Go Off," there are great moments for that in this film.
The most redeeming quality of this film, is it made me ask myself the question: "Why Did I Get Married?" and I am a better husband for it.
Thank You Tyler
