i must start with saying i don't usually like Tyler perry movies and the first one i did was "why did i get married". this movie was okay. starts pretty slow, but does pick up, but not much. does do enough to keep you wanting to follow to the end. some stuff you just know what's going to happen. (didn't see the slap coming though. take that back, it's a TP movie, yes i did know it was coming.) i think most of the characters where underdeveloped. also didn't like the fact that everybody got what they deserved. for one why was Taraji's character so angry in most of her scenes. i can understand why she didn't like her sisters ways, but she was no angel. she didn't really want to help the homeless guy, she was kinda putting him down. also she really wasn't that understanding of her husbands feelings about not wanting his own business. i think she felt she was better than her sister because she helped their mom and deserved all that the sister had. also she charged the sister to keep her son. and who was she to question her sister when they didn't even get along.could go further, but enough about her. loved the Alfre and Kathy characters. throughout the entire movie. they make the movie happen. don't really care for Sanaa Lathan, but she rocked this role. all the rest of the cast were decent, except Rockmond character, what a wuss. i could have slapped him a time or two. if anybody remembers the movie "vice squad" from the '80's, the actor who plays the character William is the son of "ram rod". he fit the role. pimping ain't dead. loved Williams wife. the look she gave when they were hugging and she smelled the perfume:priceless. overall, the movie was decent, glad i payed matinée price. i know there's only so much that can be put into 2 hrs, but it worth it. hope Tyler keeps making movies, but i would like for him to give a little more substance.
