The Ideal Husband is a romantic comedy that tells the story of successful businessman, Michael (Darrin Dewitt Henson), who is engaged to his beautiful fiancée, Brooke (Shanti Lowry). Michael seems to have it all, from the perfect job to the perfect house, and now, the perfect woman. But his perfect life is about to come crashing down when an old flame comes back into his life and threatens to expose secrets from his past.

The movie opens with Michael and Brooke planning their upcoming wedding. Brooke is a wealthy socialite who wants the wedding of her dreams, complete with a designer dress and a lavish reception. Michael, on the other hand, is more concerned with his work and doesn't seem too interested in the wedding planning process. He's comfortable with his life the way it is and believes that nothing could go wrong.

But things start to go wrong when Michael's ex-girlfriend, Lisa (played by Nadine Ellis), shows up out of the blue. Lisa is a singer and is in town for a show, but she also reveals that she's back in Michael's life because she wants another chance with him. Michael is torn between his feelings for Lisa and his loyalty to Brooke. He tries to resist Lisa's charm, but it becomes clear that he still has feelings for her.

Meanwhile, Brooke is busy planning the perfect wedding, but she begins to feel neglected by Michael. They argue about the wedding plans and Michael's lack of interest in them. In an effort to bring him around, she invites Michael's family over for dinner. It's here that Michael's sister reveals a shocking secret from Michael's past that threatens to tear the whole family apart. Michael's perfect life is now in shambles, and he's forced to confront his past and make some tough decisions about his future.

Throughout the movie, we see Michael struggling to balance his feelings for Lisa and his loyalty to Brooke. He's torn between the two women, but in the end, he realizes that Brooke is the one he truly loves. He sets out to win her back and proves his love by making a grand gesture at the wedding that brings Brooke to tears.

The Ideal Husband is a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy that explores themes of love, loyalty, and forgiveness. The cast delivers solid performances, and the chemistry between the actors is believable. Darrin Dewitt Henson, who plays Michael, is especially impressive in his role, as he convincingly portrays a man who is struggling to balance his feelings for two women. Ginuwine, who plays Michael's friend, also delivers a standout performance, bringing his signature charisma to the role.

Overall, The Ideal Husband is an enjoyable movie that offers a fresh take on the classic romantic comedy genre. It's a feel-good movie that will have you rooting for Michael to find true love and happiness.
