Tyler Perry impresses with "Why Did I Get Married Too?"

I’m usually not a fan of film director Tyler Perry’s movies. Besides the occasional funny line from his Madea character, I think his movies are typically boring and low budget.

However, my opinion of Perry changed last weekend after I saw his latest film “Why Did I Get Married Too?”

The film is about eight married friends who go on an annual vacation to socialize with one another and to analyze their marriages. 

The characters deal with physical cheating, emotional cheating, lack of communication, lack of trust, lack of a prenuptial agreement,  illness, unemployment, insecurities, divorce, substance abuse and death.

While dealing with those  issues, the characters struggle to keep their relationships in tact.  Perry intertwines comedy, drama and suspense into this two-hour film. 

If you’re not a Perry fan, I recommend you see the movie this weekend.  It will change your mind, like it did with me.  This movie is now in the top five best movies I’ve seen during the past year.
