Review: Why Did I Get Married Too

Can't say that I liked it more than the first movie because I didn't. However, I did enjoy talking to the screen and predicting what was going to happen.  It was funny and had its moments, but overall I felt like it was rushed, incomplete and unrealistic in some scenes. Does a tragic situation really make people instantly forgive and forget all the problems that have lingered for years?  Perhaps there will be a third installment?  Also, I was a little annoyed that Mr. Perry keeps bringing in Cicely Tyson (I know she is a legend, but for some reason she irks my nerves). I'm going to give a quick synopsis on each couple and Mike. (You probably shouldn't read if you haven't seen and intend to watch in the near future).

Terry & Diane: They have seemingly gotten over their issues regarding lack of sex, children, and dealing with time consuming careers, but there is an unexpected new twist in their relationship.  Diane whispers another man's name while in bed with Terry, leading Terry to suspect that she is carrying on a affair. We learn that her sparked happiness is the result of fantasizing about a partner in another law firm, nothing more. (Frankly, if Tyler Perry were my husband he would have to consider himself lucky because I would be doing a LOT more than fantasizing about other men).  This couple has always been the least interesting to me so moving on.

Angela & Marcus: These two are up to the same old antics, it sort of felt like they were beating a dead horse with the old I know he's cheating bid.  Angela came off as extremely funny and witty in the first movie, but I felt she was overdoing the outbursts and making herself look foolish in public. She has a quite entertaining gun-wielding scene that was rather predictable. I guess I could understand why she acts so crazy because Marcus is delicious and I wouldn't want to lose him either. It always ends up with Marcus having to prove that he can in fact be trusted and Angela apologizing for her bad behavior that ensues 30 seconds later.  (I may be mistaken but I thought Angela quit drinking?)

Sheila & Troy: Making the move from Colorado to Atlanta along with a new baby put them under financial stress, especially since Troy is unemployed and struggling to find a job (I feel his pain).  Troy puts his pride before everything else and does not want people to know their struggle.  His frustration affects his relationship with Sheila and she refuses to be ill-treated and lets him know this several times.  I am still trying to figure out where the line is drawn between strength/intelligence & stupidity when choosing to deal with her ex Mike in order to benefit her family.

Patricia & Gavin: Janet did this role justice the second time around because the first time I found her to be unbelievable. Let's just say she finally let "Perfect Patty" release all of that pent up pain, resentment and anger (I really wished she ripped the shelving out of the wall...that would have been perfection).  Its quite obvious through her practiced "I'm fine" and "We really love each other" that something is wrong between these two and everyone knows it, but can't figure out how to get the truth out of them.  Gavin is still pissed about her lack of communication regarding her deepest feelings (I thought she was working at it from the first movie, guess not). He also shows another side of himself and none of it is pretty...that relationship was clearly over for a while with no hope of ever returning. I was sitting in the theater wondering why they remained in the same house after getting lawyers and the whole nine (not a smart move...way too much anger). This couples tumultuous fighting leads to Gavin's tragic end.  I didn't like that the possibility of a new man was introduced into Patty's life so shortly after she went through such tragedy (that was partly her fault, yet again).  To be honest, I feel that another small issue in Patricia's life would cause her to be admitted into a psych ward.  There is no way that she could have been completely wrestled with her guilt and healed to allow another man into her world to produce a healthy relationship.  

Mike: I didn't know he was going to be in the sequel so I must admit that Angela and I screamed "Oh, Hell NO" in unison when he showed up at the beach house.  Gaining the reputation of a snake, I knew none of his intentions were pure especially when he kept trying to have Sheila stroll down memory lane.  In the end he redeems himself by doing Sheila a favor regarding Troy's employment status, but then he claims that he needs her when he discovers he has cancer. My only question was Why couldn't he get a live in nurse?

I hope there is a third movie because I need some answers. 

Update: On second thought, I don't think I will waste my time.
