Video summary
The hosts provide a mixed-to-positive review of Tyler Perry's 2007 film *Why Did I Get Married?*, noting its release alongside *Daddy's Little Girl* and highlighting Janet Jackson's rare return to acting since her childhood. They appreciate the movie for tackling complex marital realities such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, and differing love languages without relying solely on stereotypes or historical trauma. Specific characters are analyzed in depth, including Jill Scott's Sheila, who is portrayed as naive yet likable; Mike, an unrepentant cheater who treats his wife poorly; Angela, a dramatic friend whose public outbursts mirror real-life "Karen" behavior; and Patricia, a well-intentioned counselor who makes a tragic error involving her baby's car seat. While acknowledging some corny moments, the reviewers emphasize that the film successfully sparks necessary conversations about marriage dynamics within its cultural context of 2007, an era defined by the novelty of camera phones and excellent black films focused on contemporary life.
Beyond character analysis, the discussion delves into relationship boundaries and narrative pacing, offering both praise and criticism regarding specific plot points. The reviewers commend Tyler Perry's authoritative stance in a scene where he refuses his wife's request to speak with an assistant, interpreting it as a healthy demonstration of trust and respect rather than control. In contrast, they strongly criticize the male lead for forgetting his wife's birthday and bringing another woman into their home, labeling these actions disrespectful and noting that his attempts to deflect blame constitute gaslighting. Additionally, the hosts point out visual continuity errors, such as Sheila's apparent weight change between scenes, and question the realism of her failure to inform close friends about her marriage and divorce after only eight months, viewing this as poor writing that detracts from the film's emotional depth.
A significant portion of the critique focuses on the film's resolution, which the reviewers feel was rushed and unearned for several couples. They argue that the ending lacked sufficient honest conversation to adequately address deep-seated issues like infidelity and abuse, leaving many narrative threads feeling incomplete. Despite these flaws regarding pacing and realistic character development, the review concludes with a broader advocacy for transparency, hard conversations, and seeking wise counsel within friendships and marriages. The hosts debate the ethics of the movie's retreat setting, ultimately concluding that such gatherings are valuable only when participants choose friends who offer honest accountability rather than gossip or enabling behavior.
The video wraps up by contextualizing these lessons within the ongoing legacy of the franchise, mentioning news that Michael J. White is working on *Why Did I Get Married? Part Three*. This potential sequel suggests a continued interest in exploring these difficult relationship dynamics, reinforcing the original film's role as a catalyst for dialogue even if its execution had shortcomings. The overall takeaway remains that while the film contains unrealistic elements and rushed conclusions, it succeeds in highlighting the importance of integrity, respect, and open communication in relationships, urging viewers to apply these principles to their own lives rather than accepting enabling behaviors or gaslighting tactics.

Hey, what's going on guys? We are back
doing another Tyler Perry review. This
one right here is Why Did I Get Married?
came out in 2007. And Kim, few things I
thought about with this one right here.
This is the same exact year that the
last film that we reviewed, Daddy's
Little Girl, came out. That came out in
2007 with Idris Ela as well, I believe.
And I just got to get this out the way.
I I noticed this immediately, you know,
uh at this time uh 18 years ago, Michael
Jackson was still alive, you know, and
>> dude, dude,
>> as soon as the movie opened up with his
sister Janet, I was I was hearing
Michael and I was like, "Oh no, oh my
god,
>> this this this is wonderful, but it's it
stinks." Um at the same time. Um guys,
thank y'all for tuning in. We really do
appreciate it. Um Kim, thank you for
being here. How you doing today, ma'am?
How you doing?
>> I'm doing great. I'm doing great. It's
It's so funny you mentioned that because
as we are going through uh this film,
Tyler Perry's filmography, and we're
watching stuff that, you know, either
you or I haven't seen since it came out
or in a long time. I've definitely seen
this more than once, but it is bringing
me back to like what I was doing at that
time. Like what I was wearing, those big
old sunglasses like like it just is
bringing me back. I'm like 2007.
Okay. Yeah, I remember that. Um but
yeah, life life was so different. Life
was so different back then.
>> Yeah. Um I have seen this one more than
once, too. Of course, I just rewatched
it. And guys, if you don't know um how
we feel about Tyler Prairie, if this is
your first time tuning in, for us, it's
it's a you know, some people love his
films, some people hate his films. We're
in the middle. It's a flip of a coin
over here for the most part. Some of his
movies I really do like. Some of them I
don't like. We just got done with Straw
and I thought that was a hot mess. I
didn't like Acrimony. I did not like A
Fall from Grace, you know. But I love A
Family That Prayed and just some of his
earlier work.
>> 68.
>> Yeah, great film. But you know what I'm
saying? I like 68. Uh the other one that
just came out that was on Amazon that
was okay, but I didn't like the ending.
We just kind of wanted to go be re go
back and rewatch some of the Tyler Perry
movies that we did like um like Good
Deeds and Daddy's Little Girl and now
we're doing Why Did I Get Married One
and Two, you know, The Family That
Praise. We may do some more. U but also
Tyler Perry has a new film coming out um
called Finding Joy that's going to be um
I think released November of 2025. So,
just wanted to give you that quick
update right there. But Kimberly,
getting into the nitty-gritty. Spoilers.
If you haven't seen the film, I'm pretty
sure you have. Uh, if you're watching
this by now, if not, you have been
warned. I really did like this one right
here, man. Um, Tyler Perry, if you're
watching this, sir,
why can't we get quality films like this
under your umbrella today in 2025?
I know you got it in you, man. I'm
rooting for you. And I just want to just
clear the record.
>> I am willing to give you my money. I am
willing to subscribe. I am willing to be
a member o of whatever you do. Okay?
Whether it's movies, television, or
both. If you can give me quality like
Daddy's Little Girl and Why Did I Get
Married One and Two and all the other
films that we listed in 2025,
you got my money, sir. You and you got
my You still got my You going to say I I
can't even talk right now. I was going
to say you got my respect, but you still
have my respect. Um I just had to get
that off my chest. Uh but I really did
like this movie um a lot. Uh we got Jill
Scott in here. I I love her. Uh
fantastic, man. I got emotional Kim at
the end. She was like, oh, AND I JUST
WAKE UP WITH SO MUCH JOY. I I I really I
was like, damn. Like it this movie is
good now. I mean, it had it corny parts,
you know, it had some where the acting
kind of dipped, but you know, that's one
another thing with Tyler Pur in this
film. some especially this one to me is
from the same actor or actress at one
point in the film their acting can be
kind of like what's going on here you
know and then later on it can be really
moving and touching and just like pull
it your heart but I feel like I'm
blabbering here um I really did like it
Kim where where you at where you
>> you know I I liked it too and this was
the age I I call it the age of excellent
black films where it's like the films
were just about black people living
life. It wasn't about slavery. It wasn't
about the crack ep epidemic. It wasn't
about prostitution. It wasn't about
fathers leaving. It was like I'm a doc.
I'm a pediatrician. My wife's a lawyer.
We go on vacation. Like this was like
the age where I know it's a few years
from like The Wood and Brown Sugar and
just these excellent black films. Soul
food like uh Best Man. I know this came
out like a few years after best man
where where black people we were going
to the theater going it's so nice to
tell our stories not necessarily our
extensive history with civil rights
which is so which by the way I don't
want anyone to think like dang you don't
want to learn like no like th those
movies are incredibly important Malcolm
X and and Selma those movies are
incredibly important don't get me wrong
I'm just saying it's I I don't always
want to watch roots
Sometimes I just want to see us
existing.
>> Yeah.
>> I just want to see us falling in love. I
just want to see us fighting for
marriage. I just want to see us fighting
for your your business, you know, like
or just living. And and this was that
age of just excellent black films. Um
because there there definitely was a
dip. There was a fall-off for a while.
Um, and I remember thinking when this
came out like, "Oh, I like this group of
people like Malik Ya, like New York
undercover. What's up?" Like, that's how
I remember Malik Ya. Like, that's my
dude. Um, the whole cast just beautiful,
beautiful people. Um, and and also Janet
Jackson. I I feel like aside from poetic
justice,
when was the last time before 2007, when
was the last time we saw her in a film?
And so it had been a while since we saw
her
>> acting. And I even remember some people
like some friends of mine during this
time being like, "Oh my gosh, Janet
Jackson's gonna be in a movie." And I
was like, "Janet Jackson's been in
movies. Like that's not
>> like we haven't she doesn't do a lot,
but that's not brand brand new." like
like some people that I knew that maybe
didn't see poetic justice um they were
like, "Oh, we're seeing her for the
first time." I'm like, "No, like she's,
you know, she she was Penny, you know,
she acted when she was a kid." But also,
um as an adult, it was really cool to
see her just acting again. I remember
back in ' 07 just being like, "Oh, I
haven't seen Janet on the screen in a
while."
>> And I think this is when she was still
with Jermaine Dri. Like,
>> oh man, I forgot all about that.
>> I know. I know. So, um I just remember
being excited for this film. Like, great
cast.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Um it it is funny. Uh it is
hilarious as well. This guy right here,
Mr. Richard T. Jones, Mike,
>> he is an a-hole. Oh my gosh. He deserve
to get his ass whooped. Like, I'm just
laugh I'm watching the beginning of this
laughing to myself like this is so
outlandish. Like you going to make your
wife drive in the snow? Like no remorse.
Don't care.
>> Cheating on her right in his face.
Sheila was Jill Scott. Sheila. Oh man,
she was so naive. But I I loved her as
well. Um you know
>> you think she was naive?
>> A little bit.
>> Yeah,
>> a little bit. I mean why
what?
Yeah. Your husband doesn't want to sit
next to you on the plane.
>> He's gonna sit next to her and you know,
hey, let me give you some let me let me
pay for the gas money.
>> Oh, that that broke me, man. Like,
>> this is insane. Like,
>> broke me.
>> I don't even know the Can they legally
do that? I just kick you off a plane if
you are
>> uh I don't know but I know people have
been confronted in front of a whole
plane full of people about like hey I'm
sorry but you're squashing the person
next to you like like that has happened
like um you know people being like hey
you know you're you're you're touching
me like
>> so that humiliating thing you you would
imagine like
like that's your woman like that's when
you grab her hand and you know what
we'll both leave like fine. Like you
know what, baby? I got you. Like even if
you're not on good terms, even if you're
in the middle of a fight, that's still
your wife and you still grab her hand
and go,
>> "Okay, you don't you don't take care of
her friend in front of you and then be
like, "Here's some gas." But that's like
it's funny when you say naive because
I'm like I think of like downtrodden
like like you've been abused for so long
and just the mentality of a woman that's
not that strong that's not in a mental
space to be like
>> is what?
>> Yeah.
>> Say that again. Okay. Earrings come off.
Like I'm not a proponent of getting like
loud in public places
but there's a time and a place for
everything too. Like if my man did that,
like I'd be like, "Oh, this is one of
those moments in my life where I'm going
to have to get loud." Like,
>> exactly.
>> That's just it.
>> That's a downtrodden woman, right?
>> Like,
>> and then that it's a reflection of life.
You do have women out there like that.
Um
>> Oh, yeah. And that'll come back for
more. Oh, okay. Well, I'll I'll have
your dinner when you're ready.
>> Yeah. It's crazy.
>> Dinner when you're ready. You're gonna
put some rat poison in it because like I
can't believe you just let him treat you
like that. like
>> that that was that was dreadful. Um, you
kept saying, you know, take your
earrings off. I'm thinking like Angela,
you know.
>> Oh, Angela.
>> We gonna definitely talk about her. Uh,
I have a lovehate relationship
>> uh with her as well. Phenomenal actress.
Y'all can see her on the bottom right of
the screen right there. Uh, but yeah,
poor Sheila. Poor um poor poor poor Joe
Sky. But before I like go from character
to character, like just the setup of the
movie, um I like how it open uh Patricia
Janet Jackson, she's a professor,
professor, best-selling author, you
know, and those kids in school are
trying to learn. They we don't care
about this book. We care about why did I
get married in this trip? We want to
know the deeds. We want to know the
drama. Is this person still with this
person? What's going over over here? Is
your husband gathering? Did he get the
contract and all and pediatrician and
and the lawyers and all what is going
on? You know, hit the barberh shop and
um you know, it was u a bit forward, but
hey, whatever. I'm I'm entertained. I'm
I'm having fun.
>> I'm not I'm not married. I do want to
hear from the married people in the
comments section. How do y'all feel
about this type of vacation, this type
of retreat? Would you go would you do
something? Would you participate in
something like this? Have you
participated in something like this? Do
you recommend it? Yay or nay? Kimberly,
how do you feel about this? I know
you're not, we're not married.
>> Is this something that you would do or
be like, "No, that's a little too close
for comfort." Um, how you feeling about
all this?
>> You know, I got to tell you, um, you
know, as a wedding planner for years,
and I I can't tell you how many
arguments I've heard of people being
like, "Oh, this girl is my one of my
bridesmaids, but I don't even know her.
She just wants to be in there with the
girls." And I I I've always been
traditional. So, whenever my brides
would come to me, like when you're a
wedding planner, you're kind of like a
counselor, too, and they're like, "Oh, I
don't want her to be my bridesmaid.
Like, how do I get her out?" And I would
tell people, "Are you
>> serious?"
>> I Yeah. Oh, no. I've Oh, I got stories
for days. But I would I would always
share with people traditions. And one of
the traditions of bridesmaids and
groomsmen are that these are the people
who are supposed to shepherd you through
your marriage. These are the people that
you're supposed to go to them. These are
the people that are supposed to answer
the phone and go, "We're having
problems."
So, traditionally, the bridesmaids and
the role of the bridesmaids and the
groomsmen are supposed to be people that
are there for you through your marriage
that that are like, "Okay, you you ain't
sleeping on my couch another night.
You're going to go talk to your wife.
You're going to work this out." That is
the role of a bridesmaiden groomsman.
It's it's almost like the the role of a
godfather to a child. It's almost like
the godfather and godmother over your
marriage. So, traditionally that if I I
always tell people when when you are
facing issues with your husband down the
line, is this a girl that you're going
to call that's not going to gossip about
you? That's going to pray over you or
that's going to help you see if you
don't pray, that's going to help you
seek counsel, that's not going to be
like, "Yeah, girl, he's trash." But be
like, "Hey, remember your wedding day?
Remember why you married him? Let's talk
about this." Traditionally, that is the
role. So, when I um saw this movie, it's
funny you you asked that as I was
thinking about that and I was thinking,
of course, there was no footage of
weddings, but I'm like, when all these
ladies got married, all these
characters, these must have been their
bridesmaids and groomen because this is
supposed to be the role.
And for all those people out there, if
you want the question answered, if you
don't see yourself going on a trip like
this with your bridesmaids and
groomsmen, they shouldn't be in your
party. Okay. Um, so I think this is
healthy. I think this is great because
it's a sense of community because I
think a lot of times we get into the
girl, whatever you say, I'm going to
believe and back you up and say he's a
dog and say he's trash. It's like, no, I
don't need friends like that. I need
friends that'll call me out. I need
friends that will let's play a game.
Let's let's do not a game but like let's
a psychology work workshop and let's
have transparency and community enough
with each other to to get up and and and
I feel comfortable in front of my
friends saying you know what I feel like
we're not connecting and um I feel like
we're missing this and to trust people
to speak into your life. So, I would
totally go on a trip like this, but only
with people that would pray me through,
only with people that would wash me in
the water of the word, only with people
that would help me seek counsel and not
just be like, "Yeah, girl, he's a dog."
You know, move out, get your own place.
Like, people that are supposed to remind
you why you got married and and help
bring you back together. So, I think
it's really cool to do something like
that. And I think people need to look at
their group of friends. And if you
really can't say that, um, I think you
got to kind of re-evaluate your close
community of married friends. So, I
think this is mad cool. I would totally
do this. Um, but definitely with the
right group of people.
>> Yes. Key thing I would too. King thing
you said at the end there is it depends
on the right people.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, I 100%. Um, because I think I would
too. Um, because I mean we all have
different friend levels and all that.
You know, you can joke with these
friends about this, joke with these
friends about that, yada yada yada. Uh,
but yeah, I wouldn't go with Mike. I
couldn't do it. He's
>> Mike needs to go.
>> No, he's not invited.
>> This guy here is just a jerk. Um, like
seriously, seriously, seriously. You
know, um, while I was entertained, maybe
they could have checked him a bit more.
Um, and they did, I guess. Uh, but you
know, when I thought, "Yeah, man. Cheat
on your wife. If she ain't sleeping with
you, that is a that is law. That is
>> in the Declaration of Independence.
>> You know, now I don't have a dog in this
fight right here. Um, again, you know,
we can hear from the married people out
there, but Kimberly, if a spouse is not
giving it up, and mind you, I didn't say
husband or wife, I said spouse. So, it
can go either way. If a spouse is not
giving it up, you know, um I probably
know the answer, but I don't want to
assume, you know, do you have a right to
be like, "Hey, I I'm doing everything.
The bills are paid. The house is clean.
I will be back. I put the kids to bed
three to four no four nights out of the
week. I fill up the car with gas. I do
this. I do that. I I got your mama
staying in the pool house. um we go on
17 vacations a year, you know, but this
sex every seven months is not going to
work. Does he have a right to go out and
and and get some from somebody else? And
let's just have the movie.
>> Um she don't want to have kids. Marriage
got to have communication.
>> She don't want to communicate. She got a
tubes tied. Um you know, he he don't
trust he don't trust that the baby is
his. Um, he's he's getting a DNA test,
which I feel that DNA tests should just
be mandatory at birth. That's just my
opinion. Um, it doesn't have to be
revealed, you know, because you could be
married, and I know again I'm talking a
lot. It don't have to be revealed
because you can have a married couple.
Look, we we trust each other. We love
each other. We don't we don't got to
look. But at least it's on file, you
know.
>> Real talk though. Um
>> No. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Um
>> M. Yeah. Go go go. Mike Mike is Mike is
encouraging cheating because because um
Tyler Taylor, what is his name? What is
>> Terry?
>> Terry Wait, is it is it
>> Terry's not getting any from Diane?
>> Correct. Terry and Perry. Terry is not
getting any um from Diane. Where you at
on all that, ma'am? Where where you at?
>> Oh, that's a lot. Um
>> no. Um, but one of the things I do want
to say in totality is the reason why I
really like that Tyler Perry did this
film is that it was a film about people
exploring marriage and instead of how a
lot of times we just get one side of in
a film we get one side of the story. We
just get, okay, in this film, yeah,
they're married, but they're cheating.
In this film, I like that this this film
is causing what? The conversation. Like
you said, you have so much to say, and I
think that's great. And I think that it
was great to see a black film that is ex
that is supporting and exploring all the
different facets of marriage and how it
it's not just cheating. It's not just
you're not being a good dad. It's
there's so many different issues in
terms of communication. And I I loved
seeing this on the screen and being
like, "Yes, let's talk about all the
issues of marriage." Um no, I I um I
don't believe that that not having
getting any gives you the right to step
out. Um, but at the same time, I really
do I do think that sometimes people use
sex as a weapon.
>> And I don't agree with women or men that
use sex as a weapon. He didn't do the
dishes, so you're not getting any. Uh, I
don't believe in that. I I think that
it's important for wives and husbands to
communicate and understand and
understand how we're different
biologically, like how we're different
psychologically. Like some women like
some women don't need sex as much as
men. Some women do. Um but you have to
understand each other and know your love
language, you know. And so for men
sometimes I know women are like h all he
wants to do is get some.
>> We got to understand for a man that's
his love language, you know. Um that's a
part of his love language. I'm not going
to say your love my love language is
getting some. But in terms of what
different partners need, that's
important to talk about. Like for us, is
sex just sex or is it this is how you
remind me that I'm your man? This is how
I stay connected to you. Um this is how
we stay vulnerable with each other. So
it's not just always, oh, he's just
using me. You know, I feel like a
prostitute. You know, if that's how you
feel, then let's talk about it because
you're missing the connection. So, my
thing is honestly at the end of the day,
I think it's great you pay the bills. I
think it's great you got mother-in-law
in a in a pool house. I think that's
great. But if we're not able to be
intimate and have that connection, all
of that means nothing. In 20 years, all
of that's going to mean nothing. I would
rather be broke and connected with you
than bling blinging and missing and
being ships in the night. I would rather
be poor with you and have intimacy and
be connected than to have everything and
be like, he just doesn't see me. I don't
see him. We're not connected,
you know? So, I I think it's it it
causes great discussions, but I think
marriage at the end of the day is
communication. Like you said, how could
she
>> You got your tube you got your damn
tubes tied. Yeah.
>> Like without telling him like
>> crazy. That's that's incredibly selfish.
And and even though people can say,
"Well, it's her body."
>> Well, it's also her marriage.
You this person is not just here to pay
your bills and to do your honeydew list.
This is your partner.
>> So, if it is your body, then talk to him
about why you're going to do it or why
you're strongly considering or why I'm
sorry, but another kid is just off the
table. But still, let's talk about it.
Is it I mean I know if they're just tied
you can um put them back together.
Um and
>> I think yeah you can get it because you
can get a vasectomy reversed. I know
>> I always think of that episode of the
office where Michael was like snip snap
snip snap. I can't go back and forth.
>> I just wanted to know like um like how
difficult it was. I can look that up. Uh
but or you can let us know.
>> I I believe you can. I'm very confident.
But um how would you feel or would you
say something to your husband if he had
a friend like Mike? You know, are you
want to be like, "Babe, I don't like
this guy. Look, you him or me." Or
something like that or just like, "H,
Mike, just just make sure he stays, you
know, he stays away from me and you
know, you good type." No,
>> I think it depends on what level you're
letting that person into your life um
and what the roles are. Because if my
husband if it's your ministry to be a
light is if it's your ministry, it's all
over as a believer myself. I can only
talk for myself because I know I'm not
talking to a I'm not I know our audience
comes in all religions and faith. So, I
can only speak for myself, guys.
If you don't believe like I do, I
totally respect that. This is just my
filter, you know. Um, my filter is what
is your role in his life? Are you like a
big brother? Are you like a father
figure? So hopefully he can look up to
you and see how you respect me and and
see the era of his ways. So I wouldn't
automatically be like, "Yo, don't hang
out with him anymore." Because I'm like,
maybe God's using you to help open his
eyes. But I would say if you're giving
him a place where you're allowing him
with his nonsense to speak into your
life and sharing about our marriage and
allowing him to speak on our marriage
because I want my husband to have
accountability
uh brotherhood, that's really important.
I want him to have people I'm not one of
those people that's like don't be
talking to anybody about our business. I
think it's important to seek wise
counsel. But are you looking at that
fool as your wise counsel? Are you
looking at a fool and go can you speak
into my life about man he can't even
handle his own like you know so I would
just ask my husband like what is the
position that you're giving him in terms
of wise counsel are you the wise counsel
to him or do you think you're gleaning
anything from this man and if so then we
need to talk about it because if I if I
see you you know acting upside your own
head like maybe you're getting it from
him so it's it's about influence but I
wouldn't my hus you know I think I think
is important. Something that this movie
made me think about is it's important to
again communicate. I'm not your mother.
If I'm someone's wife, I'm your wife.
I'm not your mother. I don't tell you
who to play with, but we communicate and
talk about who's breathing into your
life and who's not. You know, if someone
took you to a strip club,
>> that's a conversation. That's not even
an For me, that's not even an automatic,
oh, do I hang out with him anymore.
That's like, hey, I got to speak into
your life.
and we got to communicate about this.
That's not to happen again. But in terms
of that person, like look, if God's
leading you to minister to them, that's
one thing. But if you're taking what
they say as as like, oh, I really, you
know, what he said about the 2080 thing
was really reached me. Yo, we got to
talk about that.
>> Yeah. And this guy uh he laughed at his
wife, man, when she tried to come in
with the lingerie like Oh, oh my god, I
hated him. You know, that's how that's
how
you know wrote him. Um, turned off her
cell phone, left her with $87,
you know, came crawling uh back at the
end. Uh,
>> didn't even check on her. He didn't even
check on her to see did you did your car
slide on the ice? Like, you're you're
going up a mountain in a BMW or like,
you know, like
>> Yeah, it it was a bit much, you know,
morning. Hey, did you call your wife to
see if she's okay? No, she's going to be
all right. You know, she when he when
she came in, he turned he he was like
disappointed like, "Oh god, you know, my
mom's here. You know, you're ruining all
the fun." You know, that's that's um
that that's insane right there. But uh
it it was fun to unpack in this movie.
Uh but yeah, he he got to go. I would
feel
>> Yeah. And the friend too, like home
girl.
>> That's ridiculous.
>> You standing a little too close to my
man.
>> Yeah. Um, and that whole she was like,
"Oh, I'm just gonna hang out here with
the guys." And Angela was like, "No,
you're not. You get your ass in the
kitchen with the rest of us. I'm not
leaving alone."
>> That was funny.
>> Hilarious with that. Even before that,
when they met, when Marcus was trying to
pick up her bag, she walked over and
knocked it on the ground. She like just
didn't care. Unapologetic like, "Yeah, I
just threw your bag on the ground. She
can pick it up."
>> I love it. I I feel her on that, you
know, fellas, you know, be be smart, you
know, let let uh let Terry or Gavin pick
up the bags, you know, or have her do it
herself. So, yeah, I love Angela for
that. Like you just said, you know, no,
you can bring your ass in here.
Poor you know, scheme.
>> You called her every name in the book,
but it urgent like
>> dang.
>> I like
>> that was harsh.
>> I I liked it. I liked it. Um, earlier I
said I had a lovehate relationship um,
you know, with her character because I
do like that aspect right there, you
know, that that's that's fierce and it
was it was well placaced and I'm not
tripping, you know, but if we on the
bus, if we on the train and you just
screaming, you know, I'm just like,
woman, please stop it. You know, I love
you, but
>> but what makes me what what makes me
sad, uh, Brandon, is in this what what
they didn't have back in 2007. Well,
actually they did, but they didn't use
it the way they I think back in ' 07,
did we have did we have I think we just
started getting cameras on our phone.
>> When did that happen? In ' 07, did we
have cameras on our phone? I know.
That's
>> I think so because I think Nokia's
>> Nokia the block Nokias
>> started having cameras and it was like,
"Oh my gosh, I got a camera on my Nokia.
Well, you you Yeah. Um I actually
remember a phones I had in college cuz
Okay. Huh.
>> Did I kind of want to Google that? But
no,
>> you guys comment down below. Did you
have a camera on your phone back in '
07?
>> H
>> I want to know. I want to know.
>> That's how you let the chat know how old
you are. I mean they had when they had
those camera phone they say 99 and then
2002 but um those I mean it was a camera
but it sucked. I do remember no I do
remember a camera in 2003.
I had my first cell phone in 200 when I
was 16 but it was a Nokia with Snake and
it was green screen and I remember I had
that same phone when I was a freshman in
college and I was 18 at that time and
that was 2002.
So, camera phones really I don't think
popped off really until like 2003. Okay.
>> Anyway,
>> the reason I bring it up is that Angela
because now the way people use their
phones as like I got you, gotcha,
gotcha. Unfortunately, there's a lot of
Angelas out there. There's Karen's and
then there's Angela's.
There's Is she a Angela? Um, yeah. And
that's a sad thing is like when we see
videos of somebody disrupting everyone
else's peace because they're having an
issue with one person and they're like,
"I don't care. I don't care because like
like recently like that lady like that
that one Karen that took the ball from
the dad,
>> you know, and then she gave everybody
the finger and you know, everyone's
booing her. She's like, I don't care. I
don't care. That's my ball." And so
unfortunately like we look at this
character Angela and go, "Oh my gosh,
nobody's like that." Uh,
>> yeah,
>> a lot of people are Angela's. And I and
I think I like her character. I think
she's I like her in the sense that she's
funny,
>> but I really can't stand when people
behave like that. I'm going to take care
of mine. I don't care that you're
sleeping. I don't care that you're
having a conversation. I don't care that
I'm on um a plane or a train. I don't
care. I think it gives a bad look to
whoever you represent. It gives a bad
look to you and yours and it makes it
like you want to talk about like you
know when you're like when you ask me
the question like is it okay for people
to step out?
>> I no it's not. But
>> I don't feel either.
>> No it's not. But like I think when you
act like this when you antagonize a man
all the freaking time you're pushing him
away. Pushing him away. Oh, let me see
your phone. Oh, you're cheating. Oh, did
you call that? What man wants to come
home to that? But at the same time, I
think we all have those friends that are
like, you are addicted to drama. Like,
oh, yeah,
>> you do have guys that are like, I
actually don't want to call women.
There's some guys that love them and
Angela.
>> Yeah.
>> So, don't let me don't let me Yum or
whatever. Like, I there are some people
that
>> love to be an Angela and there's some
guys that love them and Angela. So
>> Mark,
>> he said that's he said that's how we
like to love each other and he was like
I like the argument, you know, it makes
the making up so much better, you know,
and
>> I was gonna have a heart attack for
a fan of Michael John White, but yeah,
they they were both cheating on each
other, you know. He was with Kesha,
>> she was with Walker,
>> and uh yeah, she gave it to him, you
know, burned him. And um she didn't she
didn't care either. She was like, "Yeah,
you didn't get it from Kha. You got her
from Walter. I ain't gay. No, I slept
with him. I was waiting for you to say
something. Boom. You know,
>> I remember that scene in the theater
being like,
"Oh my gosh."
>> Yeah, that was um that that was pretty
crazy. Um, Angela was, you know, she was
a firecracker, but you know, she um I
like the conversation that Marcus had
with the the his wife, uh, Angela and
his baby mama, Kesha, out in the front
of the house like, "Hey, you need to
chill out. You need to chill out." And
I'm about to go take a walk because
y'all are getting on my nerve. And she
cooked them a meal. He thought it was
poisonous. I thought that was,
>> but she was like, "Yeah, you know, you
know, and notice her her hair changed
during that scene. She didn't have on
dark clothes anymore. Uh she had like on
a red dress like
>> during the dinner scene.
>> Uh no, towards the end where she cooked
food for him.
>> No. Yeah. When she cooked dinner, she
wasn't wearing the same thing.
>> Yeah. I'm I'm I'm I'm What I'm saying is
I think throughout the whole movie, I
think she was wearing a bunch of dark
clothes.
>> Oh.
>> But at that end where she was like, I
want to be nice, pleasant, and sweet,
and cook food for you. I'm going to
write wear something bright and red. I
could be wrong, but I think that's what
happened. And um I just kind of like
that she uh you know kind of had a 180
and turned over a new leaf and be like,
you know, I'm not going to be talking to
you crazy. We're in this together. I
love you. I love you. Um I I love you.
Um Gavin and Patricia, you know,
Patricia is the expert. You know, of
course, we know what happens in the
sequel, but we're not going to talk
about that yet. But um the the baby
passed away.
She was rushing. Um didn't double check
the car seat to make sure it was
strapped in properly. Slid off the road.
There was an accident. The baby is not
here anymore.
Woo. Man, there are I I can't I can only
imagine. There are just some things that
you will never be able to get over. In
my opinion, that's one of them. We don't
have to go down the list, but man, um
that's that sucks, you know. And they
they had the scene in the kitchen and
you know, she's like chicken or steak,
you know. He's like, look at the
picture. Look at the picture. You know,
uh he was getting on my nerve a little
bit because I was even saying to myself,
damn, will you just let will you just
shut up and listen to what she got to
say? You trying to, you know, like chill
out. Um yeah, man. What are your
thoughts there, if any?
>> Gosh. Um, I I I feel like that situation
made Mike's behavior even that much
worse because it's one thing to to to to
be at a table and be like, "Oh, I'll
tell everyone's secret." And be like,
"You're cheating. You got this." I'm
like, "Those are on a certain level, but
talking about a child's death, that
doesn't wrap up in there correctly."
>> You can't be like, "Well, you're
cheating and you got VD." Oh, yeah. And
when your baby died, your husband said
you were stupid. What?
>> My god. the way you just said it.
>> Wait, what? Like, you don't joke. Like,
it's one thing to tell people's
business, but that's like a that's
incredibly cruel to just lump that in
there. Like,
>> wow.
>> Wow. Um, ass doesn't even begin to
explain how terrible he is. But, um,
>> yeah.
>> Uh, yeah. I I thought it was interesting
how one thing I liked about this movie
that I feel like Tyler Perry did very
well is one telling the story of what
happened to their kid because he alludes
to it and then about threequarters of
the way through the film then we find
out what happened but you just like in
the beginning you just know
>> something like oh that was weird or hm I
wonder why they said that oh wait
something happened to their kid oh shoot
what happened you know so um I thought
it was good the way he wrote that but
also another thing that I thought he did
well was show us different types of
friends without being crazy
stereotypical. Like you know when you
watch a movie and a girl comes in, flips
her hair and she's got the makeup and
they're this and you're like, "Okay,
that's the cheerleader." And then
someone comes in with a leather jacket
and they're brooding. You're like,
"Okay, that's the tough guy." And then
someone who wears their Lettoman jacket
everywhere. Okay, that's the jock. I
like that these characters had nuance. I
like that
you could see the different types of
friends you have without being overtly
stereotypical.
So, I think we do like if you think
about your group of friends, especially
if you're if you're coupled up, like I
know when when you're single, you've got
like different groups, but like when
you're coupled up, you're engaged and
married. you have like your mar you now
you have your married friends and now
you have a different a different caliber
of friends you know um I think a lot of
people women and men can say you know
what I do have that friend that's kind
of like the group counselor but come to
think of it I never know anything about
what they're going through
>> that's interesting I think we all have
that friend
>> you're right you're right
>> and she was a great example of how yeah
everyone's coming to you and calling you
at work with their problems and coming
to you and you're sitting there going,
"You guys, I'm a doctor. I know what
this is about. Like, let me walk you
through this." And you're like,
>> "Yeah,
>> that's cool. Perfect, Patty." But, um,
part of friendship is an equal transfer
of emotions and transparency. So, it's
great that you're counseling us, but if
you are amongst friends that you trust,
then you need to also have your weak
moments. you need to because I start I
start to I think what people weren't
seeing is like you start to kind of lose
faith in those type of friends when they
aren't transparent as well because you
can't play that game forever. At some
point people are going to be like you
know
>> it'll turn into resentment. Like, hey,
it's cool that you're always helping us,
but come to come to think of it, you're
always talking about what we're going
through and what our issues are and
what's wrong with us, but at the end of
the day, like, when was the last time
you told us about you cried
uncontrollably and you lost it and he
mentioned this and you deep down you
think I think my hus like when was the
last time she told one of those women, I
think he blames me. I think he hates me.
>> Yeah. And and and she came to the rescue
here in this scene, too. Yeah.
>> Like um you know um Terry moved out. I
don't know what to do and and Marcus is
doing this, you know, and she was like
you got to do this, you got to do that.
Make a list, you know. Uh but yeah, per
perfect Perfect Patty made a mistake. I
don't blame him for for blaming her. I
mean, I know and I don't mean to be a
jerk and insensitive, you know, but he's
trying to console her as she's, you
know, being emotional. It's not your
fault. It's nobody's fault.
It is your fault.
It is, you know. Am am I wrong for
saying that?
>> No. I think
>> I want to know. And I don't think he's
wrong for going over there to uh Mike's
house. Why couldn't he go to Tererry's
or or
>> I know you gota go there.
>> His house, you know.
>> Yeah.
>> Ruin the trip. You know, we don't get
our deposit back. But instead of, you
know, I'm not mad at him for running
over there and be like, "How can she be
so stupid?" You know, now if you
watching this and that really happened
to you in real life, I am sorry for your
loss. Um, and I hope that just don't
ever happen to nobody ever. Nobody
deserves to experience that. And Lord, I
hope it don't happen to me. And I'm But
if I do that, man, I made a dumb
mistake. You know, some mistakes have
bigger consequences than others. Is How
do you feel about that? Is he Is he
wrong for Cuz she was mad. I didn't
know. You blamed me for it. What do you
mean you didn't know? Like
>> I think I agree. I think the healthiest
relationships are the healthiest
relationship I was in was when somebody
was so honest with me. Sometimes I hurt
my feelings. But to this day, it's the
best relationship I've ever been in
because I I'd actually never had a guy
be so incredibly honest with me and I
appreciated it. Even though it was like,
"Ow, that hurt." But at the end of the
day, I think that is marriage is not
supposed to be, oh, babying you.
Marriage is supposed to be being able to
say, "Are you like not that girl thing
like are you mad at me? Are you mad at
me?" You need to be able to take it when
they go, "Yeah, because that's marriage
is saying, "Yeah, I am."
>> Yeah,
>> I am. I have to get this out.
>> And I know this is going to hurt. But
how do you not buckle in a
three-year-old?
>> You kind of right there, Kim.
>> I kind of transformed right there into a
whole different character. Like,
>> did I?
>> Yeah. I like it. My fault.
>> Did my mind go back?
>> Yeah, I threw you off. Keep keep going.
You're doing great. Keep going.
>> Oh, wow. I must have tapped into
something there.
>> Um but but no, no, but I think I think
that is good to have
>> those hard marriage is about having hard
conversations and being able to bounce
back. It's not about placating your
emotions all the time. That's not a real
relationship. That's that's like having
um having somebody that's always like,
"Do I look good?" and not telling you
you have spinach in your teeth. Not
telling you like, "Girl, your weave. I
see it all of it. Um like that's someone
just being like you're so pretty. Like
girl, let me get you right. That's part
of getting someone right is like, you
know, is is is honesty and the
transparency.
So I think that but also in terms of
friendship, I think it was good. I think
it's good. That's why I say your your
bridesmaids and your groomsmen are those
people you should be able to say things
that you normally wouldn't say in front
of a crowd of people. I need someone
that I can go to and go, I
how could you be so stupid and not
buckle in a three-year-old? Like, that's
kind of a horrible thing to say, but
it's a very honest thing to say, and
it's an honest emotion. And you need
those friends that can take it and not
just be like, "Don't say that." Like, I
I'm not a big I'm not big on I'm not big
on telling people, "Don't say that." I'm
really big on like, "Get it out,
whatever it is." Like I'm a believer,
you know, I'm a Christian, but I've had
friends that have gone through stuff and
I'm like, say just say the f- word. It's
okay. Say it. Say Like like it's
okay. Like that's how get it out. I'm
not going to
>> stand here and babysit your emotions.
Like you have to get it out. Like God
can handle your anger. He can handle
this your disappointment. He can handle
your frustration.
You know,
>> I um
I uh my goodness gracious slipped my
mind. I I agree 100%. Uh get it out. Um
hurt my feelings. I would prefer that.
Um that's how I grew up. That's that's
my mom, my dad, and and my brother will
always tell me the truth. My mom
>> My sisters will always tell me the
truth.
>> Yeah.
>> Especially when I don't when my clothes
don't match,
>> you know. And she was like, "If you
don't want to know the truth, Brandon,
don't ask." And so I wish everybody was
like that. You know, I understand you
don't want to you got to tailor it and
pick your art your your choose your
battles. Um, you know,
>> and that makes more interesting, too. I
don't want a man that's always like,
"Babe, you look so good. You look so
good." Like, it's kind of funny when
you're like, "That ain't it. Go back,
change your shoes."
>> Yeah. You know, I'll be like, you know,
"Hey, is Yeah, I I want you to
communicate. Um, you know, that's that's
you're silly. Um, that's very very
important in my opinion. And also, I
like the way that
Terry told Diane no when she wanted to
talk to him about telling her,
you know, agent, assistant secretary not
to call.
>> You know, she was upset. I don't blame
him.
Um,
I'm just thinking I'm not going to just
put my I don't want to talk about my
parents' business too much, but kind of
one of their things is they don't open
each other's mail. They've been married
they've been married for 45 years. Uh,
>> wow. Okay.
>> They was married in 1980. They just
celebrated their u 45th year
anniversary.
>> Um, I've seen so much. But one of their
things is when I was watching this there
was that you know she Diane was mad like
wait a minute he told you what I got the
important case. Hey this is our vacation
my birthday. Well no this was eighth
month p sp it wasn't his birthday they
was on vacation. Um yeah so I don't
know. Um was he right? Was he wrong? You
know my parents have a thing they they
don't they don't know being each other's
mail. They just don't do that. Um you
know I I asked my mom why. She once told
me, she's like, "It's none of your
business. That's just what we do."
That's real time.
>> Mama Avery coming through with the
authority.
>> One time something. I'm like, "Oh, I
wish I didn't know that." She was like,
"You shouldn't have asked." But anyway,
um, how how do you feel about that?
Like, you know, going through phones,
telling people, "Hey, we we kicking it
over here. Leave us alone." All that
stuff.
>> Um,
>> as far as concerned,
>> no. Yeah. I totally believe in like um I
totally believe in trust and
transparency. Um I don't believe in um
obviously your phone needs to be locked
because if you're out and about and
whatever, but I believe in I should have
your code, you should have mine. Um what
you shouldn't be doing anything that I I
would have to question you on because if
I'm on your phone, it's not because I
don't trust you. because maybe I'm
looking for something or you had some
information or I know you put something
in your notes that I didn't have or like
I would I would never, you know, but if
I if I if you're at the point where you
think someone's cheating, them giving
you a password is the least of your
problems. You got bigger problems. So,
um I actually liked the way he said no.
And I liked it because I mean there's a
line between men who are men and women,
okay, and women. I'm not bashing anyone,
but that are like so controlling and
like, you know, I think we've we've many
of us have seen relationships where a a
woman or a man tries to do something and
before they say yes to whoever they're
talking to, they turn over. Is okay with
you, babe? Is okay with you? No. No.
Okay. Like, it's like not like that. But
I think I think there's something really
honest I think there's something really
sexy about the way honestly when Tyler
Perry said that I was like that was kind
of hot. Like I like that. I like that he
took some authority in his Yeah. I was
like maybe you are kind of handsome. I
don't know. Um, but
I like that he took that authoritative
stance and was like, "No, I really like
that because I think that there are some
men that I would love to see them tell.
I see some relationships I'm like, man,
if you don't stand up and tell that
woman no, you know, you are getting on
my nerves." Yes, dear. Yes, dear. Yes,
dear. Like, come on. You know, I kind of
um
>> I don't know. I I think um respecting
your spouse is important. I think um
people forget everyone's into the mushy
gushy love, but people forget about
respect.
>> Yeah.
>> And also like if your husband says no
like that, you should be able to feel in
your spirit and trust like, oh, there's
something that he's seeing that I don't
see. Like that should be the
transparency in the relationship. Just
like if your wife is like, I'm not with
that. Then you shouldn't be like, oh,
you're trying to control me. You should
be like, wow, I really trust her
judgment. I really trust her
relationship with the Lord. or whatever
religion you guys are out there, like I
really trust her instincts. Um, oh, she
said no. H well, since I trust her, I
think I'm just going to be like, okay,
>> there you go.
>> But if you don't trust your spouse and
they're like, no,
>> you got bigger issues than them saying
no right there, you know? So, I don't I
I I like that he did that
>> because he was like, this is more than
>> no, don't talk to anyone right now. This
is our marriage. You are you are not
spending enough time. You are not being
present. I'm putting my foot down and
and I'm trying to connect with you. How
many women would love for a man to be
like, I want to connect with you. I
don't want to just be up here and and be
all up in everyone's business. I want to
take a walk with you. I want to take a
hike with you. You know, a lot of women
you or a lot of people beg for life for
someone to treat them like that and then
when you have it, you disrespect it.
I didn't like that. So, I I I like that
he put his foot down.
>> Okay.
>> Okay, Tyler. Okay, Tyler.
>> I like it, too. Um, how would you feel
if you're in the if you know you put
yourself in Dian's shoes? You forget
your husband's birthday
and you go home and he having ice cream
on the couch or No, they weren't on the
couch. I think they was in the kitchen
at the table.
>> Kitchen.
>> I see y'all rolling over there. You're
huffing and puffing. Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on. You forget
your husband's birthday. He walking in
having ice cream,
you know, and then he replies back, "You
can't come in here giving me no dang
ultimatums."
>> Girl,
when I first saw that scene, I was like,
"Whoa, Tyler, like I understand she
forgot your birthday."
But some lines you just don't cross. I
mean, your home is an intimate place.
Yes.
>> A house is a home. and for you to bring
another woman in and have an like what
what's going on? That's not cool.
However, we find out that this is the
the babysitter, the maid, the driver,
you know, she'd be picking up the kids,
so she already be in the house anyway.
>> So maybe she brought the kids home and
oh, what are you doing for your
birthday? I don't know. My my wife
my call my wife to ask her, but it's
going straight to voicemail. I was like,
>> man,
>> well, I got some ice cream right here.
So, she come and she think it's an
affair. You know what I'm saying? And
and then he joking around talking about
way she pregnant with twins. He was
wrong.
I'm I got to chill out. But I I was like
I like how Tyler kind of, you know,
tricked me there a little bit. I was
like, whoa, he tripping. I was like,
well, maybe it's somewhat justified. How
how you feeling about that whole
scenario, ma'am?
>> Dude, um I think that's terrible. I
think I think you really have to
re-evaluate
you really have to re-evaluate your life
if you are so busy that you miss your
husband's birthday.
>> Yeah.
>> Um uh you you have some reevaluating to
do. You should feel terrible. You
shouldn't. And and I hate it when people
are like like it's gaslighting when
you've done something you know is wrong.
I was like on Instagram the other day.
It was one of those like like red flag
green flag things. And this guy was like
bitching because he forgot his wife's
something birthday anniversary. He's
like, "Oh, I have to get a card." Like
like own up to it, you know? Like own up
to it. Own that. Don't Don't be so eager
to not feel the negative feelings. Like
just make me feel better. Like come on,
forgive me. Don't That's gaslighting.
Don't Don't tell someone forgive me like
right now. like let them have their
feelings because what you did was wrong.
You need to own up to it. That's awful.
And you know, if he forgot yours, you
would be all over that. So, don't even I
thought that was incredibly
disrespectful to her partner
>> to um not only forget his birthday, but
then to come in there up in there with
accusations. Now, mind you, on his side,
>> what I think is not I don't think it's
appropriate. Mind you, in the story, you
do find out like that assistant, she's
just a nice lady. Yes, she's beautiful.
Yes, she's gorgeous. But she's
>> Is she what?
>> And she had a boyfriend, too.
>> She She had her own She was not trying
to be a part of your anything. Like, it
was innocent. However, there can be
innocent things that are inappropriate.
You feel me? Like, there there can be an
honest person that was like, "She just
came over. You weren't here. So, she
brought me a little candle and a
cupcake, and that was nice of her."
I personally, if that was my boss, I'd
be like, I will pray for you. Bye. Like,
I'm not that's in even though it's nice
and I'm not trying to get in your pants.
I'm not trying to be your side chick.
It's just not appropriate. So, that
whole situation was inappropriate. And
even if she brought over a cake and you
knew it wasn't going to turn into
anything, I would still You hold the
door at a crack. Oh, thank you so much.
Thanks for the cake. Oh, no. Not right
now. You know, I'll be fine. I'll be
fine. You don't just be like, "Yeah,
let's have a birthday party for one."
No, that's not appropriate. But it was
Diane was first of all, you're
deflecting.
>> You go from I did something wrong to
like
>> and you better get out of my house and
you better and don't and you need to
fire her. Girl, why don't you sit in
your mistake before you deflect and try
to No, no, no, no, no, no. She was all
the way wrong.
>> Yeah. And I'm I'm not mad at him for
moving out. You know, she was like,
"What do you want earlier?" you know,
uh, but they made it up. That's cool.
Um, it was Yes. So, going back to,
um, was it Patricia and
it was No, not
>> Sheila and Mike.
>> Not. Yeah. Um, no. No. Yeah. Sheila.
Yeah. Not Sheila and Mike. Sheila and
Troy. Sheila and Troy. Uh, they hit him.
>> Park Ranger.
>> I like the brother. Um,
>> I like him a lot.
He's cool. Um, you know, I I really did
like his role in this.
>> Only you can prevent forest fires, baby.
>> That was so cute.
>> Lamar,
>> I love their relationship.
>> Yeah. And um it it was just perfect. You
know, I was laughing at first because
when Sheila and him met in the police
station, she was like, "Hey, where's
the, you know, the lodge? He's like,
"It's five miles away, but you there's a
tree down. You're not going to be able
to get there in the morning. You know,
put her in the cell." I'm like, "Damn,
she got to sleep in jail. This sucks."
You know, and uh I don't I don't blame
him for asking the question like, "Wait
a minute. Why are you by yourself going
to a couple's retreat in the middle of
the night? This doesn't make any sense."
You know, that's a valid question. It's
kind of personal, too. She was like,
"Oh, my husband went ahead. And then he
going to come through like, "Oh, if it
was me, I would never have done that to
my wife." And she she she did a a little
polite jab back like, "Oh, are you
married?"
Like,
>> "Well, that's why you don't have one."
>> Not laughing cuz she was like, "Oh, are
you married?" And he was like,
"Divorced." And I I WAS LIKE, "OH, HE
CAME BACK." You know, I'm getting so
excited. But
it was funny. It was funny to me. I I I
did like the um the writing there. Um,
even how subtle and simple it was, I
really got a tickle out of that scene
right there, you know. Um, but that
relationship was great. I like how it
flourished, you know, when the crap hit
the fan and uh, he was like, "Yeah, it
is true." Mike speaking like, you know,
I am cheating on you. I am committing
adultery. I am sneaking down the hall in
the middle of the night and clapping
cheeks. And uh he he he just met
everybody 10 minutes ago.
>> You know, I was laughing my ass off of
that scene right there, too. He was
like, "Man, I gotta go." You know, I
gotta get out of here, man. So, that was
funny. Um
>> bottle to the head. Bottle.
Bottle to the head. But I really one of
my favorite scenes in the movie is
coming up next is when he knew that she
was going through it and that that like
her he literally saw he just met this
woman and then just saw her life crumble
like just destroyed in front of her. I
mean like besides you finding out that
you a loved one has passed away. That's
some of the worst news you can get. and
just to be so cruel with it the way Mike
was when he took her up there on the on
the mountain top um and it was snowing
and he was like you know sometime I just
come out here and you know she just
expressed how emotional she was and how
she felt and like he why did he betray
me and I was like man just got act this
is a great scene
>> good have you ever seen the number one
ladies detective agency
>> I have not I have not
>> it's a it's a show Jill Scott is a
mystery show she It was on HB. It was
HBO original and she's in Africa and she
starts a PI company
>> and she's the star of the show. She's
such a good actress. You guys check out
the number one detective ladies
detective agency. She plays an African
woman. It's so good. Um but but yeah,
anyway, but Jill Scott is a great
actress. I Oh, I love me some Jill
Scott. Oh, I love her. I think is she
the last person I saw in concert like a
long time ago. I love Jill Scott to my
soul. I love her to my soul. Um but but
just every expression in her face her
she's so expressive.
>> Yes.
>> And every emotion she just she acts out
so very very very well and a lot of
times singers do make great actors. Um
>> but god I just love her so much. But um
and she did so good um in the in this in
this movie just playing a woman that's
downtrodden but trying to hold on to
faith and
>> and finally connecting with that anger,
you know? I mean, you went from like,
"Oh, Mike, you'll get it together." to
like bottle to the head. Like that anger
is there. Um but some some people
especially when you come up when you
grow up in faith um you want to make it
work so bad because you feel like a
divorce is God will be mad at me. By the
way, God doesn't hate divorce because
it's just simply divorce. He hates what
it does to his children.
>> Um if you need to get out of a
situation, God makes allowances for
divorce. So I hate it when people use
that argument. Well, like I can't get a
divorce even though he hit me upside my
head because God will be mad at me. No.
No, God wants you be to be safe and
happy emotionally and physically. Um,
but I love that he connected with her on
a soul level. He wasn't like, "Uh, there
there lady. Would you like a Kleenex?
How about some hot chocolate?" No, he's
like, "Let me take you to this
mountaintop that I scream, I cry, I
question God, I cry out to God. Like,
you can be angry up here. You can be
anything up here." Like I love that
because he was ministering to her soul.
>> Yes.
>> And I love that about Troy. I just love
I just love her. Troy,
you know, and even before that, I really
felt sorry for her. Uh when she was
actually when she was driving and she's
like, I need some more upbeat music. I'm
going to go and save my marriage. I was
like, "Oh, this sucks." You know, um I
got some, you know, that was and that
was um you know, dramatic moment.
Mountain Top was a dramatic moment.
Funny moment for me was at the table and
Angela was like, you know, yes. Um, Mike
was getting jealous because Trina and
Troy were flirting and conversing on
the, "Hey, what are you guys talking
about, bro? What the hell is wrong with
you?" Angela, wait a minute. Why can't
these two single people have a
conversation? Mike, what's going on? I I
I applauded. And um and Angela's like,
"Hey, I think these two single people
should go on by themselves." and she
just comes in like, "Yes, I agree." You
know, um I I I don't know. I thought
that was funny, too. She had the the
best performance of the the movie to me
by far.
>> Um she knocked it out the park right
there. Um
>> but uh unless I miss anything, Kim, we
come up to the end.
>> Of course, you know, they're breaking
the fourth wall right here. Um but I
need to see this. This movie spans over
eight months. Yeah,
>> they go a lot happen in eight months.
>> They go on the trip um and then you know
Patricia says like I got the award. I
want y'all to come to the ceremonies
eight months in the future. So eight
month trip.
>> Yeah.
>> You know that's it's interesting that
Sheila didn't update her friends about
her and Troy's marriage. You know I mean
>> that was not practical. That was not a
practical part of the story. I think in
terms of the writing that wasn't great.
Uh because that took you out of the
friendship. That took you out of the
closeness of the group because we're so
close like they're your friends are
checking on you. They're they're
sincerely concerned. You guys are
talking about very intimate things. Um
and you didn't like was she a missing
person? Like like I thought that was
poor writing because that was like
>> did you guys not be like hey did you get
homes save oh you're still in Colorado
she was there for eight months and
you're like
>> $87
>> you've been in there for 80 with less
than $100 in Colorado. I had no idea.
And I didn't know that you fell in love
and I didn't know you got a divorce.
Like first of all a divorce is not going
to happen that quickly. And secondly I
just thought that was poor. I something
you bring up a good point Brandon is
that I felt like the movie was well
paced until the end.
>> He does sometime splits beat splits
speed.
>> That was ridiculous. Like like how did
you not tell your super close
girlfriends that know about your sex
life, that know about your intimate
life, that know about arguments, that
know when you're broke. How did you not
tell them, "Girl, I got I was married
now. I'd be on the phone with everybody
like, "Girl, I'm still in Colorado cold
as hell, but I was married now." Like, I
would tell everybody. I wouldn't be
like, "I'm gonna surprise." Like, you
couldn't keep that as a surprise.
>> Even especially with the bad marriage
you were in, there was no way. So, that
was just not
>> that just wasn't practical. I think if
one per like the most busy person hadn't
heard, I'm like, "Okay, that's a little
bit more practical because they had so
much going on."
>> Yes. It would be more like, "Yeah, girl,
she got married. Like, we didn't want to
bother you, but like or they'd be
celebrating like, oh, we wish we were at
the wedding. Like, we're so happy for
you." But to all be like, "Oh my gosh,
what's that on your finger?"
>> I have a question for you.
>> And where do you live, friend?
>> How did they do the um
She's She's a She's much bigger at the
very beginning of the movie.
>> Yeah. Um, how did they do that?
>> They had a she had a suit on, probably.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> Yeah, she probably either had a suit on
or just had a body double, but but I
think I think she had a suit on cuz when
she was sitting in the um
airplane seat, she was much bigger, but
I think it was a suit.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Kim, uh, we really did like this movie.
What did I leave out? What what what did
you want to get off your chest?
>> What did you leave out? Um
uh
I think I think I don't think you left
out too much. I think I at all. I I
think just only that the end was rushed
and a lot of I like the setup for the
the issues that they were all having
because also in this movie he did a good
job of cramming a lot of stories into
one film. Like that's a lot of story.
Like everybody's having issues and we
got to get into everybody's thing. Like
you had a DNA test. You didn't think
that was your daughter. You got VD from
someone else, but she got it from
someone else that got it from someone
else. And then you are super abusive.
And then now you're with girl that just
don't. She don't cook. She don't clean.
She just don't. Like that's a lot to
wrap up into one film. However, I feel
like if you're gonna take on that much,
writer, director, editing, everyone
that's involved in the film, if you're
going to take on that much, you've got
to end it well. And I felt like um they
didn't I didn't like the resolution for
several of the characters, you know? I
didn't
>> Yeah. in terms of not flushing it out.
Like we're not like all of a sudden like
homeg girl who's yelling on a the trains
and planes is just gonna make you a
dinner and be like I love you Marcus
I'll never yell at you again like you
loud like you know you will like you
know like I just feel like it it was it
wasn't complete in how he ended the
film. I wasn't happy with that. Um, I
felt like Patricia and I mean Diane and
Terry, um, it was just more. It was
there so much more than just being like,
"I'm sorry." It's like, "We really got
to work this out." Um, so I would have
liked I would have liked as much
conversation happened in this film, I
would have liked to see resolution
through conversation, which would have
been very consistent in in how it ended.
>> Okay. like like having a real honest
conversation with Terry and with and
Diane,
you know, I just having another baby is
just not
what I want to do, but how can we get
around this? You know, instead of like I
just love you and I'm so sorry and now
we're fine. I feel like that's how a lot
of these complicated issues ended in the
film for me. And that's the one critique
that I would really for myself that I
just was like we need to like really
talk about these issues because they
were deep especially Patricia and her
husband like
>> well
>> those are some really super deep cut
issues. I am surprised to hear that. Um
because I disagree something. Well, let
me say this. Something you said earlier,
uh when you said you like that we're
getting bad characters, but they're not
stereotypical.
>> Out of the nine characters, I agree with
eight of those. The only one to me that
was slightly stereotypical is Angela as
the ghetto black woman. Just saying it's
a stereotype. Not saying that I don't
love those type of women. I do. Part of
the community. I love us all. Uh, as far
as this is concerned, well, we have the
8020 rule, which I do believe in. Um,
one just nobody's perfect, you know, and
I don't want to go down a rabbit hole as
far as that's concerned, but uh, that
was brought up in the film at the very
beginning and it paid off in the end. It
resolved to relationships. you know,
Mike and Trina didn't work, but
um Sheila and Troy did work out.
>> So, it was a lesson learned and a great
ending for two couples right there. Um,
Patricia
gave an assignment to Angela and Diane
>> and when the the it worked
as far as Diane and Terra is concerned,
no, they're they're not perfect, but
they they came to a common ground and
they did communicate. And then you have
the same. So, I like that resolution.
But then you have uh Marcus and um
Angela. He checked his wife. He checked
his baby mama. Went for a walk. She did
the assignment too. You know, we didn't
see her emoting about it, but she was
like,
>> I liked their conver I liked his
conversation. I like with the two moms.
I thought that was um a really good
>> So she like, "Yeah, let me cook for my
man." And you know, and it was funny
because she she liked to drink at the at
the beginning she was drinking out of
FL, but she like he's like, "No more
drinking." Okay, let me let me get the
the wine glass. So, I I don't know. I
mean, I guess the only one that wasn't
resolved was Patricia and Gavin, but out
of the four to five couples, I I like
the ending. And then, you know, they d
she get the award the the award at the
end, the cameras zooming panning out.
You know, I'm like, "YEAH, TYLER PERRY.
WHY can't we get movies like this?" But
you said you didn't like the the
conclusion of some of the characters.
That's That's interesting. That's
interesting. Okay. H it was this is a
nice battle then, you know.
>> Yeah.
>> How we was here, but you know, we may
not be. That's fine. I'll see you in
part two. The
Why did I get married? Part two. I'm
over here trying to type it in and I
can't uh type fast enough. But uh yeah,
guys. Um
I said, "What did you I can't I can't
type. It's why I did.
>> What did you get married to?"
>> Mind you. Okay. So, Michael J. White
recently had a martial arts film come
out. Um, god dog, I can't remember the
name. It came out
>> just so many.
>> It came out August of 2025. I believe in
the press junket he did say that they
are working on a um Why Did I Get
Married part three.
>> Oh, really?
>> I don't I know. I didn't just dream
that. I heard somewhere on the ins that
I was
>> I think I remember the outlet. Uh it was
a black outlet, but um you know cuz I
was asking him questions about you know
the film and it you know and he was like
um yeah Tyler is working on a on a uh
