(Why did I Get Married Too? DVD & Blu-ray - Lionsgate - Rated PG-13)
Why Did I Get Married too? Begs the question, Why did he make this too? This irritating, uncomfortable film contains nothing to make it palatable, not even Madea wants to be seen it. The movie is two hours of conflict. I felt the life force draining from me as pieces of my heart were yanked from my chest after enduring two hours of 100% pure torture, toped by an interminable, stupid, trite ending.
