Following the success of his previous films DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN, MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION and DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS, Tyler Perry returns with his fourth feature film, WHY DID I GET MARRIED? A big-screen adaptation of Perry's hit stage play of the same title, WHY DID I GET MARRIED? is an intimate story about the difficulty of maintaining a solid love relationship in modern times. In the vain of "The Big Chill," this intimate heartwarming and often hilarious story looks at four couples on vacation struggling with issues of commitment, betrayal, redemption and the road to forgiveness. When these eight married college friends reunite for their annual retreat in the snowcapped mountains of Colorado, they come expecting fun and relaxation, but get a completely unexpected surprise. Career-drive Dianne (SHARON LEAL) and her supportive, but fed-up  husband,  Terry (TYLER PERRY), are joined by popular psychologist and best-selling author Patricia (JANET JACKSON) and her architect husband Gavin, (MALIK YOBA), who share a secret tragedy that finally comes to light, while Angela (TASHA SMITH) and Marcus (MICHAEL JAI WHITE) argue constantly, but remain in love.  Also in attendance is their good friend Sheila, (JILL SCOTT) a sweet woman with a distorted self-image stemming from weight issues that are exacerbated by her emotionally abusive and philandering husband, Mike (RICHARD T. JONES). Unlike any other year, this trip changes the dynamic of the group with two new additions: Shelia's supposed girlfriend, Trina (DENISE BOUTTE), who is secretly sleeping with her husband; and Troy (LAMMAN RUCKER), an ex-Wall Street stockbroker who has put his career on hold to care for an ailing father. Nothing could create more drama then placing these ten people in a secluded cabin for a long weekend with all of that dirty laundry waiting to come out.
Everybody’s asking ‘WHY DID I GET MARRIED?’
