We look forward to releasing many more films and DVDs based on his works as we continue to build our powerful Tyler Perry franchise." Written, produced, directed and starring Perry, "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" is a big-screen adaptation of his hit stage play of the same name.

As secrets are revealed, each couple begins questioning the validity of their own marriage.
