What's on the Itinerary: A Marital Meltdown or a Mirthful Mixer?

Filmmaker Tyler Perry brings us back to the trials and tribulations of committed relationships and drops us right into a heartwarming (and complicated) destination wedding with “Why Did I Get Married Again?”. This wedding is extra special because it is the wedding of Marcus and Angela’s daughter. This wedding draws all the pretending to be happy couples together to deal with all the things that have been bothering them and the new things that are going to be bothering them as well. If you've seen any previous Tyler Perry movies, you know what emotional state you will spend most of your time in while watching this film. It will also have some comedy mixed in as well. With a premise that has a main focus on the ensemble cast of characters and their journey of fidelity and the journey that they are on as they uncover themselves, this movie is sure to be chock full of drama and full-resolution domestic situations. This movie will have a very good PG-13 rating, which will give a very good amount of adult situations and topics to discuss. With Perry cast as well as Taraji P. Henson and Jill Scott this movie is a character-based movie so expect a lot of serious acting.

The Sitting: Pacing for the Relationship Roster

At a lengthy yet comfortable runtime of 1 hour and 52 minutes, “Why Did I Get Married Again?” is the perfect length for its own stand-alone film. Perry's directed films have a particular style. Each drawn-out scene is a moment for the character to think and consider the next emotional outburst. This style is perfect for films to be watched in a single-sitting format, and this one is no exception. That being said, there is a particular style of filmmaking in “Why did I Get Married Again?” that focuses multiple storylines on the same set of characters and relationships; often these stories will intersect. Because of this, some storylines and characters may feel more important while others remain rather bland and boring. Because of this particular style, it can be rather boring if you're not fully invested. However, if one is invested, the pacing is perfect for a one-and-done watching.

Hits and Misses: The Unpacking of Marital Baggage

The idea that inspired this project is something everyone can relate to. The question "Why did we get married again?" is something every person who has been in a long-term relationship has asked themselves. This has a great deal of potential for a script filled with witty, sharp dialogue and situations where characters are able to be emotionally open, something that Perry has mastered in their other works. This also has the opportunity to include a number of characters because of the nature of marriage. It has the opportunity to include newlyweds and older couples and their developed habits and resentments. The setting of the ‘destination wedding’ also shows a lot of potential because it removes the context of every day life. Relationship centered drama can tend to have plots and resolutions that are fairly predictable, and that’s something I would focus less on. This genre of film can also give depth to the drama and allow characters to be more funny and open, including humor, rather than being forced and didactic.

Screen Test: From Pocket to Big Picture

While it has a heavy emphasis on dialogue and interaction over visual effects, "Why Did I Get Married Again?" has some flexibility when it comes to screens. On Android, it's good for watching on your commute or during your lunch break, as long as you surround yourself with the right environment for following the conversations. The emotional performances are still going to come through in a lot of ways, but you're going to lose out on a lot of the context in a smaller format. On a PC and some decent headphones, things can really improve, with the focus now being able to get absorbed in the dialogue and the more emotional, intimate moments the film has to offer. This is of courseuntil you get it to a bigger screen (smart TV, projector, etc.) You want things to be bigger because the film benefits a lot from the harder limits of a larger screen. The cast dynamic really will get appreciated in a larger format, showing the range of reactions and the depth of the interactions that take place among larger casts of characters. It will change the experience from a personal viewing into a family viewing, likely resulting in a lot of discussion regarding the characters' plights.

The Download Decision: Is It Worth the Commitment?

Tyler Perry is a reliable director with a gift for covering universal topics like love, marriage, and self-reflection. For what is on the surface a not overly deep film, “Why Did I Get Married Again?” hits enough universal notes to be worth a watch. It probably won’t change your life, but if you’re looking for a film that somewhat stays the course of domestic stories that contains some heart and mild comedy, you’ll at least walk away with something to think about the relationships in your life. For those looking to be challenged with an introspective film requiring more thinking, get this film. If you can forgive that is a little predictable for a film that lacks a more complex plot, Perry’s construction will give you a familiar pleasure. There is a distinct voice that you’ll appreciate having in your watchlist, and this film will give you comfort as if you’re discovering old friends and their chronic midlife relationship troubles.
