      Lindsay worked 80 hours, and her net check was only $112. The IRS cannot garnish wages that total less than the total of the standard deduction and personal exemptions available. Based on her earning $10 per hour, none of her wages could have been legally garnished.

      [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. I was told where to stand and how to dress, how to cut my hair, and what I would be doing for the rest of my life from the time that I was five years old. And right now, I seem to be on track - whose track I don't really know. By this time, my mother thought I should be married, and according to my life schedule, that's four months away. I'll be marrying her, Natalie. She's amazing. We're perfect together. With a life like mine, you'd think that I wake up happy every day, but I don't. My life is perfect, but I often wonder, am I living my own life or the life that I was told to live?

    5/10
    Painfully predictable... Average
    The movie is the stereotypical romantic story. The fact that I'm even writing about this movie is because I actually thought that this would be the first Tyler Perry movie that I might remotely like. The preview looked so promising but to get into the theater and get that standard romantic fare was a little disappointing. The story was too predictable and might have been a little more genuine if it ventured in a different direction. The acting was average as well - Thandie Newton acted well though I felt the accent was a little weird and someone should tell Tyler Perry that being a director doesn't necessarily make you a good actor. Some of his acting was cringe-worthy. I liked seeing Phylicia Rashad again though - she is still as beautiful as I remember. Gabrielle Union did well too.

    Overall, I give this movie a 5 out of 10 which reflects what I thought about it - average.
