Unfortunately, for all its superficial entertainment value, Perry-ites won't recognize much of Why Did I Get Married? And in this case, a lack of familiarity just may breed contempt.

There's such an overriding sense of soap opera that I kept expecting a commercial break.
10/19/07
Why Did I Get Married covers a lot of emotional and cultural ground in its two hours.
10/19/07
...the characters are less cardboard, the dialogue less awkward than in some of Perry's other movies...
10/19/07
Perry’s film made me laugh frequently and whole-heartedly; more so than any theatrically released American film has in many months.
10/19/07
Critic-proof, many-hatted Tyler Perry has done it again: delivered an overreaching and overexpositional melodrama that opened at No. 1.
10/18/07
Faulting Tyler Perry for his nonsensical, melodramatic plots is a little like accusing Douglas Sirk of using too much color.
10/18/07
Incredible star Jill Scott is the one to watch in "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" The show is a star vehicle for Scott and an intelligent, entertaining dramedy.

Amid the shout-downs over adultery, male power, and the agony of coping with a child's death, one performance glistens -- Jill Scott's as the sad, heavyset Sheila, who locates the faith that's the source of love.
10/17/07
It’s alarming that American film critics alienate themselves from the aspects of Perry’s films that should be universal.
10/17/07
The real question for me about Tyler Perry's Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? came about 30 minutes into the film: 'Why am I watching this movie?'
10/17/07
None of these flaws will matter much to Perry's devoted audiences, whose support has enabled him to virtually build a media empire.
10/16/07
Top Critic Despite the improbable ease of pic's genteel psychoanalysis, the characters are thesped with enough depth and emotional investment to make their problems feel legit.
10/16/07
Top Critic [Perry] makes it easy on us, mostly by letting his cast do what it wants.
10/15/07
Perry, so adept at giving fans of his touring plays an evening that spans the entertainment gamut, once again delivers something for everyone.
10/15/07
Here's what filmmaker Tyler Perry does well: featuring characters not traditionally seen in movies. Here's where he could use some help: in toning down some grossly over-the-top dramatics.
