Why Did I Get Married

Adapting his popular stage play, Perry explores the intricacies of long-term romantic relationships in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?

The film opens a window onto the lives of four couples, all best friends from college, who vacation together annually. The circle includes Patricia (Janet Jackson), a respected psychologist and best-selling author who is happily wed to architect Gavin (Malik Yoba); Dianne (Sharon Leal), an ambitious attorney whose workaholic habits have left her with little time for her paediatrician husband, Terry (Tyler Perry); as well as Angela (Tasha Smith) and Marcus (Michael Jai White), who bicker constantly but remain very much in love. The most vulnerable of the group is Sheila (Jill Scott), a sweet woman who devoted to her husband Mike (Richard T. Jones), despite his merciless jokes about her weight. As the couples gather in a cozy Colorado mountain cabin, tensions bubble to the surface and secrets come spilling out - leaving each couple to re-assess the state of their unions.
