trailer break: ‘Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too’

I think the idea is that nobody is going to watch a movie which is just about happily married people.

There will be no angle for drama there, so I guess the only way to introduce drama is to make sure that everybody is miserabele in you story!

What? You never got into a relationship with a person and became emotionally attached to them, only to find out they weren't the person you expected them to be? Lucky you, MaryAnn.

And yes, divorce does sound like a simple solution--to anyone who has never been through one.

Then again, I'm continually seeing the problems that arise in relationships in which the couple in question never got legally married--yet are still connected due to child-rearing issues. Oddly enough, one such person I know--a white girl--is a big Tyler Perry fan. She is currently separated from the birth father of her youngest child but because they share custody and they both work at the same business, they are continually in contact with one another--and they seem to quarrel as often as some married couples I know.

But then when I was young and not yet involved in a serious relationship, I was all about how silly such people can be. Once I started to get involved in my own relationships and making my own mistakes, I became more sympathetic.

That said, there isn't a whole lot here in this trailer that most movie buffs haven't seen before and that climax looks suspiciously like a mixed-gender ripoff of the climax of Jungle Fever.

And I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised to hear "Nadia's Theme" after all these years but I wouldn't recommend that anyone see the movie just to hear that. Especially when you can hear the same thing for free by watching episodes of The Young and the Restless-- or so I hear. (My sister's a soap opera buff and the dealership where I take my car to be serviced is always showing soap operas in the waiting ro--Oh, never mind...)
