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 >> part three.
