A successful, wealthy businessman, Wesley Deeds (Tyler Perry) has always done what's expected of him, whether it's assuming the helm of his father's company, tolerating his brother's misbehavior at the office or planning to marry his beautiful but restless fiance, Natalie (Gabrielle Union). But Wesley is jolted out of his predictable routine when he meets Lindsey (Thandie Newton), a down-on-her-luck single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building. When he offers to help her get back on her feet, the chance encounter with someone so far outside his usual circle ignites something in Wesley. This one good deed may finally spark his courage to exchange the life that's expected of him for the life he's always really wanted.
This is pretty much just another one of Tyler Perry's non-Madea movies. A lot of hardship and personal drama and characters working through it all. I know that I sound blah saying that, but I don't mean it that way at all. It's just that they are all pretty formula and melodramatic, but I also find them pretty watchable. I enjoyed this movie. Not in a way that I would say it's a must see, but just that it wasn't painful to have on while getting stuff done around the house and what not.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. It's not a must see again by any means, but there are much crappier things you could waste your time watching.
