Quotes

[first lines]
Wesley Deeds: [narration] My name is Wesley Deeds the Third. I grew up fifth-generation Ivy League graduate. I can tell you my pedigree all the way back to the tribe that my greatest grandfather came from. I was born into privilege, groomed by my father to be a businessman, to take over his company, groomed by my mother to be a gentleman.

Tyler Perry is amazing!
13 March 2012 | by See all my reviews

I don't understand how this movie got such a bad rating so far!

It has a nice story and a fluent plot without any leaks or gaps or boring parts.

It was just smooth and really easy to watch.

I enjoyed it from the very beginning until the end. The actors were well chosen and were very authentic.

I have to say there isn't really a Tyler Perry movie, that I did not enjoy.

He is just an amazing writer and actor.

This movie is drama at its best! I can't wait to see more movies from Tyler Perry.
