New York Daily News
The problems are real; the solutions are ... well, really entertaining. Perry mixes heartfelt drama with bold-stroke, insult-slinging comedy. - 70
Variety
Though fans might miss Perry's genre-exploding daring, the excellent cast injects enough pathos and zing to keep picture percolating. - 70
The New York Times
More than anything, a Tyler Perry movie is an interactive experience, and Why Did I Get Married? is no exception. At the screening I attended, it was often difficult to hear the dialogue between bouts of enthusiastic applause and shouts of “You go, girl!” - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Perry is of the spell-everything-in-capital-letters and act-it-out-loudly schools. Yet his sensitivity to women is a tonic. - 63
TV Guide Magazine
Perry certainly loves his divas -- the best parts are written for Scott and the wonderful Smith. - 63
Boston Globe
The most disappointing thing here, besides Perry's ongoing visual impairment (he deserves better cinematography and editing) is Scott. - 60
L.A. Weekly
The writer-director-producer-star would rather save your soul and your marriage than engage your aesthetics. That’s probably why every other line was greeted at my screening with a chorus of stern “Mm-hmms” and “Exactlys!” - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
As has been previously demonstrated in the hugely successful Perry's stage, television and big-screen works, subtlety and tonal consistency are not his strong suits. Here, the mostly broadly drawn characters and situations on display quickly prove grating, with the film veering awkwardly between broad comedy and melodrama.
