Last week, Tyler Perry, the producer, star, screenwriter and director of "Why Did I Get Married?" refused to screen his movie in advance for critics.

Nevertheless, it opened at #1. Usually, a movie that opens with no advance screenings means it's terrible and they hope for a quick return over its opening weekend. So we had to trek to the theater to see it for the upcoming Reel Talk episode. But overall, it turned out to be an interesting, absorbing movie with well drawn characters.

So memo to Mr. Perry: Please step up to the plate next time and let us do our jobs and see the movie in advance. Maybe we'll like it. The same memo goes out to the producers of "The Comebacks."

Come on, let us do our job!
