☺☺ ☺ A Few Surprises

In the sequel, the couples plan another retreat to answer the burning question (Why did I get married?). The well intentioned trip to the Bahamas quickly unravels as Sheila’s (Jill Scott) ex-husband, Mike (Richard T. Jones) appears at the retreat vying for her attention and getting on her new husband, Troy’s (Lamman Rucker) nerves. Shortly after Mike appears, the other couples began displaying their own problems. Terry (Tyler Perry) suspects his wife, Dianne (Sharon Leal) is cheating, Angela (Tasha Smith) still doesn’t trust her husband, Marcus (Michael Jai White) and Patricia (Janet Jackson) is still having trouble relating to her husband, Gavin (Malik Yoba) after their child’s death.

Although the plot deepens as the couples return home from the trip, certain parts of the movie could have used a little more development, such as the humor. Even Tasha Smith’s lines (usually some of the funniest parts of the movie) could have used a little more fine tuning. To keep from giving away the story line, I’ll stop here but I will say that audiences will be a little surprised with the direction of the movie.
