This movie is so captivating and real. To this day I find myself returning to watch it. It resonates with me because at some point I was struggling like the protagonist. I had a minimum wage job. I could barely afford food and rent. Today I am way better off but I never forget where I came from. This movie shows you very well both sides of the coin

GREAT PERFORMANCE Mr. Perry You started and direct... Outstanding!!!. Wesley/Natalia portrayal was on point. My childhood friend lives this life. Her parents planned her entire life including the number of kids and when appropriate to give birth. Her husband went along with everything but ended up with a mistress, which she accepted, as her mom told her it's the cost a successful business Unfortunately she didn't listen to the 'Lindsey' and kept 'face'. Her siblings are no better. They walk the same road in their varied careers. Hopefully she saw this movie as it's never too late to live YOUR life's dreams.

✨✨✨✨✨This is a elegant and well made movie. Wonderful storyline and very realistic. Great Job!

This was a great film imo. Shows the character and misinterpretation that many can hold on successful men in today’s society. Don’t be quick to rule a business owner out as selfish or mean. Some of us have more empathy then the rest.

A wonderful and romantic movie...

Enjoyable film. Shame it's another one of those 'experts' just get it so wrong movies. Rom Com, if you like them, you'll like this I'm sure.

While a little slow, the plot and acting were decently entertaining.

Crushingly bad. Tyler Perry is the only director that would willingly cast Tyler Perry in a movie. So much of this movie relies on a suspension of disbelief that amounts to insanity in order to buy the melodramatic shenanigans. None of the characters make sense, from the spineless CEO (CEO's are not known for indecision) who changes his entire personality in the span of 2 days, beginning an hour into this movie, to the childish brother who may or may not be capable of running this company, to the unhinged single mother who constantly endangers her child (I was relieved when social services arrived to take Ariel away, and crushed when Lindsey regained custody in the next scene), to the mother who arranges her son's marriage to a realtor (if she was trying to maintain a high social class, she failed) who has absolutely no redeeming characteristics and an outright venomous mentality to one of her sons... The only character I could sympathize with was Natalie, the film's antagonist, who is vilified in the movie's logic by not being interested in children despite a friend who cannot stop talking about how her entire life is dominated by her own children. Unfortunately, because she is the antagonist, the audience does not learn much about her; it is a shame, as her apparent mind-control abilities presented in the first scene are never explained. The plot is some morality tale nonsense, which, while easy to follow, is too exhausting in its cliched triteness for me to relate here. I was much more occupied with the gaping plot holes and general lack of logic and reality used in the story. The entire movie is little more than a church-play, fan fiction interpretation of American Beauty. Even as a lover of bad movies, this particular film is unwatchable. It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

It's good movie to watch

Okay but I just never felt invested in any character and their issues.

Mostly boring with a few funny and dramatic scenes.

Thank you to Tyler Perry for providing good Romance movies which there are not enough of.

Tyler Perry brands his movies as " over dramatic" and "all black" which doesn't leave much room for enhancement and growth.

Another exaggerated drama by Tyler Perry. Although the story is more profound, it still has that lame and predictable quality to it.

Gotta love Lifetime channel movies and yes I have a girl crush on Gabrielle Union!

Tyler Perry movies are pretty typical. Often times the viewer knows what to expect right at the beginning. This movie is very much like that. I did find it very enjoyable however. The cast was very effective. Thandie Newton always gives 100% for her roles, which is always wonderful to see. So overall it was a fine movie.

Light but heartwarming story. Quite entertaining.

The story line is predictable as said before. Afew thing that I feel the producer did NOT pay attention to are 1.The sound quality while Wesley's girlfriend was at the dance club is laughable. It was such poor acting I wanted to cry 2.When Wesleys mother comes to the gate of the airline to say goodbye. Now this movie is released in 2012. That is 10 yrs after twin towers terror attacks and we all know, nobody gets into the gate section of any airport unless they are ticketed passengers. Scene shows an international airport I wondered how the lady managed to pass thru the TSA without luggage or a ticket in her hand !! is it coz she's rich ? or was she travelling someplace herself ? mmmhhh..that was an epic failure !!!!! 3.Last but not least, he leaves the tickets to a janitor who has less than 12 hrs to get a passport for her and the daughter so she can join him in first class flying to Africa. How did his lady have a passport so quickly ? It ends in a very cheesy cheap way. Sorry Tyler Perry I am inlove with your movies but it seems like in the end you ran out of a story and rushed to end it. Boring to say the least. Two stars because I still love you and all the actors in the movie. Story line gets double zero

Tyler Perry is a class act in this film. I'd relish the chance to help someone like he did in this movie.

A Must See Movie..!!
