This film, by Tyler Perry, is about the marriages of 4 different couples and their problems and issues within their marriages. They meet every so often at their time share in Colorado to discuss with each other why they got married. It is a sequel to Why Did I Get Married? released back in 2007. I think it is about as good as the first one, though, the first one seemed a little bit more realistic and had more realistic scenarios. I must admit that Perry has talent when it comes to creating interesting scenarios and funny scenes. However, many of the scenarios in this particular movie are unrealistic and unbelievable--yet, they keep your attention and wonder of what happens next. I also like how he develops the characters well in this film.
The only problem I have with this movie is that certain mess-ups that one partner makes, their husband/wife forgives them way too easily. Also, the ending is a little bit overboard and kind of a spit in the face of the film's objective (you'll see what I mean).
Sure, the acting may not always be that good, but Perry does a good job of not creating substories that are irrelevant to each other and that get too carried away. But, once again, some scenarios are a little overboard, and the way certain characters handle their problems makes you say "yeah right" at times.
But I do have to admit that Perry is a good filmmaker that knows what attracts the attention of his audience. It continues in his usual unique and conversation-based path of making films. However, this won't prevent you from getting frustrated and annoyed at half of the characters in this movie for what they do or say.
Overall Grade: B
P.S. You don't necessarily have to see the first one in order to see this one.
