Critics Consensus

Despite some poignant observations on modern marriages, Why Did I Get Married? is too preachy and melodramatic.

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

Entertainment Weekly

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.

Made up largely of Statements and less of character arcs or human psychology.

Three couples spend a week end in a cabin in the woods to reflect on their relationships. But sadly nobody gets possessed by demons, no mutants or chainsaw slasher killers show up. Six people in a remote cabin in the woods is a classic horror set up but nope. Heaven forbid Tyler Perry make an actually good movie. You know what happens in the movie? NOTHING! Nothing happens. Perry's trademark of people sitting in a living room having LONG unfunny talks. Also movies like this is why I think Tyler Perry is a racist. 3 couples, three men and 3 women. All straight and all black. No interracial couples or gay couples. But then I see how stereotypical Perry writes black people in his movies and think... Maybe Perry's not racist, he's just a horrible writer. Who somehow has enough money to make horrible movies. Nothing funny in this racist cliché mess that SOMEHOW got a sequel.

48% really? This is mostly better than some of those lame movies y'all rate 75 and up.. And seeing some of these 'top critics' it's clear why they've given such a low rating on here 🗑️

Bando de macho escroto, menos, só dois dos quatro eram realmente escrotos, mas a introdução longa, quase estragou o clímax, aquele encontro jantar no chalé, foi realmente o encontro estragado, tudo vomitado, e com tempo para resolver o problema de cada um dos casais, isso foi bem interessante, as brigas de casais naturalmente reais, adorável...
