Arriving 16 years after 'Why Did I Get Married Too?,' this Netflix release spends too much time reminding viewers why they should be invested in the franchise.

©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection It’s been nearly 20 years since “Why Did I Get Married?”, the original Tyler Perry movie that first introduced these characters and their variously troubled relationships — and 16 years since the sequel to that film, “Why Did I Get Married Too?”. So it feels only normal, at the start of this latest outing for the gang, that we should be treated to some fairly heavy exposition.
“Why Did I Get Married Again?” certainly doesn’t stint on it: As the film begins, we catch up with fiery Angela (Tasha Smith) and her husband Marcus (Michael Jai White), a now somewhat cowed figure who has quit his womanizing in practice but kept the macho attitude. The pair are preparing to host a dinner ahead of the marriage of their daughter Jasmine (Armani Greer) to football player Wesley (Everett Osborne), who happens to be the son of their friend Roselyn (Taraji P. Henson, new to the franchise but treated by all and sundry as if she had been part of the adventure all along).
