Name of film
Can someone please help me find the name of a film. It was a Tyler Perry film. One of the stars was Kathy Bates. Also, Robin Givens had a significant role. The basic plot was something along the lines of this: there was a husband and wife; the wife worked in a very upscale construction company headquarters; the husband was a blue collar type (construction worker); the wife seemed embarrassed by and ashamed of the husband; the wife has an affair with the head of the construction company; everyone at the office knows about the affair; the husband is the last to know; eventually, the husband finds out about the affair. The wife thinks that her boss (with whom she is having the affair) will leave his wife; at the end of the film, he tells her that he will not. The boss also tries to get the Board of Directors to remove his mother (Kathy Bates) from the Board. Kathy Bates maneuvers the Board so that she is not removed, but her son is. Those are some of the details. It was a 2-hour movie, but I only came in after the first hour had passed. This film was shown on Lifetime Channel on Sunday, October 26, 2014, from 9 to 11 pm. In the TV Guide, the name of the film was listed as Tyler Perry's Good Deeds. However, when I looked up the Wikipedia article for that film, the plot description sounds nothing at all like the film I just finished watching. And it also does not list Kathy Bates or Robin Givens in the cast. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Maybe the Lifetime Channel was going to show Good Deeds, but eventually substituted it with a different Tyler Perry film? Does anyone know the name of the film I have described? Thanks. Joseph A.

 * IMDB's collaboration search gave me The Family That Preys when I searched for Tyler Perry and Robin Givens. Dismas |(talk) 06:15, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
