I don't think this film was intended to be a literary masterpiece to satisfy the masses. I will say, however, for those reviewers who do not feel Tyler succeeded in character development, if you've lived through scenes like those before you'll agree that Tyler got the job done albeit in a different way.
Phylicia Rashad. at a play in Atlanta I was close enough to reach out and touch her face. The woman has so much class.

Wesley Deeds is CEO of his late father's computer software company. He was born into privilege, his entire life planned out for him. Even though he has plenty of money and material things, Wesley is just existing instead of living - going through the motions. until he meets, Lindsey.
Lindsey Wakefield is a single mother struggling to make ends meet. No money for rent, money owed for back taxes - she and her daughter (Jordenn Thompson/a very talented little girl) are stuck in a bad situation and Lindsey is seriously stressed.
Wesley (Tyler Perry) was the lead male role, but his brother, Walter (Brian J. White), left more of an impression, I was still thinking about White's performance long after the movie ended. Brian J. White sure knows how to play an unlikeable character (thinking of his role in Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself), but even though Walter had issues, he was my favorite character. At first I thought he hated women, and then I thought he just plain disliked everybody, but I think Walter had issues with himself and I think he was hurting. The man had a mouth on him, but I loved his honesty.
I know times were hard for Lindsey (Thandie Newton) and I know she was doing what she could to survive, but she was too good at lying. She was teaching her daughter to be dishonest and that bothered me. Her attitude in the beginning kept me from liking her, but she became likeable as the movie progressed.
Natalie (Gabrielle Union): As soon as the movie began I wondered why she was with Wesley if she had so many complaints about his routine. I'm glad that question was answered, because up to that point I wasn't sure how I felt about her.
Wilimena Deeds (Phylicia Rashad): She was an uppity woman who wanted everything her way. Read more &rsaquo,
