Census: Minorities Now Surpass Whites In US Births
The people, NOT the critics, have spoken! 'Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?' is the number one film at the box office, having grossed a little over $21 million dollars. Most box office analysts had predicted that the film would be number one, but until Friday's tally came in, they had the film grossing anywhere from $12 to $15 million. Granted, his last film, 'Daddy's Little Girls,' opened up at $11 million, but with star power added in this film with Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, as well as Perry acting in the film, which he didn't do in the last one, success was guaranteed.
Judging by some of the reports I've been reading, everyone seems to agree that this is his best film to date and that they found the film enjoyable and something they can probably compare their lives with.
Coming in a distant second, but still doing well at the box office was 'The Game Plan' with The Rock. That film grossed half of 'WDIGM''s take with about $11 million. So far, the family-friendly film has taken in close to $60 million. With less kids films out in theaters now, the film was destined to be a hit, especially with parents eager to take the tots outside for some air.
With a slew of new movies opening up this week, including Halle Berry's 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' Perry faces the task of keeping his #1 status, but if folks who loved the film spread the word, all good things will come for the film.

I really enjoyed this movie it made me laugh, scream, and cry all at the same time. Kudos for Tyler Perry for getting powerhouses like Janet Jackson, and Jill Scott. But I'm sorry Ms Tasha Smith (the loud mouth) who was also in daddys little girls plays a damn good realistic role. She's good I love her characters so lets give her her credit as well. I hope to see her in many more films because I feel she is extremely talented. Thanks Tyler again for very good job of portraying blacks not in the stereotypical light we are sometimes portayed as. Everyone in the film had something going for them. Im glad and thankful for that.

Psalm 34:8 says,
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Now that's how Mr. Perry exceeds and supersedes everything that he does. Note this, everything that his hands touch prospers because he seeks God's face first.

The day that "WDIGM" came out I attended the matinee. I went alone just because I wanted to see it. At one point in the film, I found myself thinking "SLAP HIM!" Unknowingly, this quiet woman (me) had shouted those words and the theatre went histerical...
I had been looking for a way to express my gratitude for this movie. Cast was awsome and believable. Tyler, you topped "Diary," and I am so proud of you.
ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN THIS MOVE, GOOOOOO! THEN GET IT WHEN IT IS RELEASED ON DVD. WE ARE LOOKING AT AN OSCAR HERE.
Thank you!!

I think this was a great movie it made me understand why God put so much into being marry and faithful in your marriage. I was thinking about getting a divorce. This movie made me see a different prospective in my marriage.

Tyler Perry did not force elicited sex, extreme vulgar language, nor the N word on us, and I thank him for that. Because of that, I have taken a group to see WDIGM 5 times already.

This was Tyler Perry's best movie by far and I'm happy we supported it despite what the critics said.
