Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? - a drama about four married couples facing various challenges in each of their unions - is a mixed bag. There's just enough truth in the writing for the happy ending to feel forced, and Perry's directorial style seems to give scenes way too much space to breathe and plonking the camera in the set and letting things play out. Needed to be sharper, especially in the comedy. All the actors do get a chance to shine, even Janet Jackson as the creepy Oprah-ish therapist, but the heart and soul of the film has to be Jill Scott. She gives such a soulful, emotional, sympathetic performance, it smooths over a lot of the movie's flaws. Just not enough for a recommendation. 8 years 9 months ago -
