Critics Consensus

It's bolstered by a strong performance from Janet Jackson, but ultimately, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? doesn't add anything new to Perry's melodramatic formula.

B+

[Writer/Director Tyler] Perry can't seem to break from his usual melodramatic, soap opera-esque formula in this movie, but he does manage to tug at our emotions for a funny, heartfelt, relatable look at marriage and love.

Hopelessly inert and dreary.

Perry has plugged a hole in the market, for sure; it's just all a bit pleased with itself.

While Why Did I Get Married Too? may not win Perry any new fans it will most assuredly keep his sizable legion of fans happy.

1.5/4

There are some decent performances here, particularly from Jill Scott, but they just can't save the clichd material from weighing down the whole film.

Why Did I Get Married Too? is an interesting movie and definitely a decent sequel. It keeps the characters consistent and builds on them in a way that makes sense. The biggest letdown for me is Tyler Perry’s tendency to write the Black women as hateful, angry, and constantly unhappy. It pulls me out of the story because I want more variety in how these characters are portrayed. There is also so much back-and-forth and drama that you really have to pay attention to keep up. Once you stay focused, though, the story develops into a decent tale with enough twists and emotions to keep you invested. I think Tyler Perry does a great job pulling his films together, but there is always something about the screenplays that feels slightly off. The Madea movies work because they lean into comedy and exaggeration, while some of his dramatic films don’t connect as strongly. This one connects enough to be enjoyable, but it’s not something I would revisit.

I loved the original movie. The sequel is why they should not make sequels. It kills your image and memory of the first, and makes you want to forget you ever saw it. Plus, the allegations coming about about Tyler make you think twice about watching anything he does. Truly awful.

Honestly just a good home theater comfort movie. Well written, entertaining, funny, dramatic, all the good stuff. Definitely a comfort movie you can watch multiple times, I've watched it 6 times.

Tyler Perry has a way of hitting the weak spots. You can feel the emotions of the characters.
