Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too? (Blu-ray Review)

Tyler Perry can do mediocre all by himself.

Is Tyler Perry the male Oprah? While he hasn’t started a talk show (yet), the entrepreneurial playwright, actor, director, screenwriter and producer seems poised to give Ms. Winfrey a run for her literal money. Perhaps even more so than Winfrey, Perry has been able to tap into the cultural zeitgeist of the modern black American, in the process managing to rake in several hundreds of millions of dollars in box office receipts.

Video

As dramatically dull as a lot of Why Did I Get Married Too is, it’s at least somewhat ameliorated by a very sharp, often breathtakingly beautiful, AVC encoded 1080p image (in 1.78:1). The long scenes in the Bahamas are obviously the most opportune ones for the Blu-ray presentation to shine, and shine it does.

Final Words

Perry has a lot of fans, as is evidenced by the overwheleming success a lot of his projects regularly enjoy. Even diehard aficionados may find themselves questioning the wisdom of revisiting these four couples, especially considering the melodramatic turns the plot takes.
