5.0 out of 5 stars Something To Think About!, July 1, 2006

This review is from: Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?: The Play (DVD)

I enjoyed this DVD. I thought Kelly Price would be in the play, but it turns out that Cheryl Pepsi Riley was the star. She did an excellent job and was in good voice.

The storyline was behind every good man is a good woman. It also let you know that marriage is hard work. It is not just a fine man/woman. When the body goes and the love is old, we have to remember the wedding vows.

The family/friends are all coming together for a weekend retreat at the patriachs house for a weekend of rest and relaxation. The father offers words wisdom that his wife used to offer before she died.

One couple has worked on their marriage and made it worked; but when the wife in the other couple discovers that her husband is cheating with her best friend, she goes balistic and shoots up the place. After the divorce, she gives him everything in the divorce settlement and begins to work on herself. He marries the friend and she marries someone no one thinks will ever settle down because he has always been in love with her. Her husband discovers that the grass is not always greener on the other side and wants her back. His busines is falling off and she tells him that she is the one that kept him afloat. He begins to think back and would do anything to get his wife back and give his gold digging new wife back.

This review is from: Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?: The Play (DVD)

This was very funny, it doesn't have the characters you are used to from the Madea plays, but it was funny. It's a must have for people who are married, I learned a few things from it and so will you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Anyone Who Is Married or Getting Married!, July 10, 2006

This review is from: Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?: The Play (DVD)

Tyler Perry is a phenomenal writer. This play will make you laugh, cry and most of all, think. The actors are outstanding and as always Tyler Perry keeps it real. Donna Stewart (Diana) steals the show. Her character is a true friend and I love the way she sticks up for Sheila and the fact that she doesn't pretend to be perfect. Sheila's transformation is great; not only her physical transformation but her spiritual transformation. The character of Mike is expertly played. This character is a perfect example of an egotistical male who doesn't appreciate his supportive wife until she is gone. I have met so many women like Trina that it is scary.

The male characters in the play are not one-dimensional. They are not perfect but the "good" men are loving, humorous and supportive. Tyler Perry's message is clear: If you keep God first and have humor, love and most of all, commitment in your marriage, you will be able to work through your problems.

Needless to say, this is my favorite Tyler Perry play.
