And, honestly, that's a question most of us married folk ask ourselves (and our friends, and our family, and that stranger in the bathroom) from time to time -- only to arrive home one night, catch a glimpse of that smile and realize it was the best decision we've ever made. (Erik wipes away a tear.) Except when that son of a bleep cheats with that bleeping bleeper, and you find yourself bleeping pissed. What happens next? Cinematical has just received the final one-sheet for Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married (click on the poster for a larger image), based on Perry's stage play of the same name. Returning to the big screen for the first time in seven years, Janet Jackson stars as one half of a couple who decide to attend a therapeutic help-our-marriage retreat, but find complications when one of the other wives brings along a sexy young temptress.

As with Perry's last film, Daddy's Little Girls, there's no dressing up in drag here -- however, Perry does co-star in the flick, alongside Jackson, Jill Scott, Denise Boutte, Richard T. Jones and Sharon Leal. Part comedy, part drama -- and part Jackson (yum) -- Why Did I Get Married arrives in theaters on October 12.

Even though his latest, Daddy's Little Girls, didn't bash open the box office door quite like his Madea-related pics, that's not stopping Lionsgate from putting a lot of faith in Tyler Perry's magic hands. Obviously, there's an audience there -- his plays have been very successful -- and so we should expect at least two more Tyler Perry flicks coming from Lionsgate; the first being Why Did I Get Married?

With production set to begin in just a few weeks, Perry has somehow snagged Janet Jackson to star opposite himself, along with Sharon Leal and Jill Scott. Pic will mark Jackson's first time back on the big screen since 2000's Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, and only her third film-related role. The good news for Perry fans is that he will be back in front of the camera, but not as his famous Madea character. Instead, the story focuses on a group of married couples who take an annual "let's examine our marriages" trip. But, when one of the wives brings a young, sexy gal into the mix, all hell breaks loose.

Apparently, Lionsgate was pressuring Perry to include his Madea character in Why Did I Get Married?, even though she wasn't in the play. (Could it be that one character equals an extra $20 million at the box office?) However, with Janet Jackson in there, I'm sure the studio will make their money ... assuming they find a quiet (read: dead) weekend to open this sucker up. For you Perry fans out there: Is it Madea that draws you, or are you down for anything that has Perry's stamp on it?
