revora-nie I am astonished that this film has an overall score of 5.2, compared to many of the movies on IMDb rated higher.This is the first "Tyler Perry" movie I've experienced, and was impressed.The pacing, script, sub-plots, and overall plot were well crafted for a movie in this genre. Perhaps most impressive though was the acting: both lead actors were compelling, especially the female who had the slightly tougher role to pull off. The supporting actors were impressive as well. This is a heartfelt film and character study. Highly recommended.

Lucas Gunnarson I must I did enjoy the first 30 min of this movie. Good acting and the story even thou it didn't seem like nothing new, it had potential but that fell short after they didn't do much to develop the story on most of the characters. I did think Tyler Perry did a good job in this one, but towards the end, no actor could save the predictable and embarrassing morale of this story.If you're home in the afternoon, had your wisdom teeth taken off and there's NOTHING else going on on TV, you'll probably enjoy a scene or two in this movie, but there's nothing new/special or surprising in it.Thanks for reading.

bniler Firstly the Title of the movie is "GOOD DEEDS" Wesley Deeds inherited company from his father after his death. Wesley Deeds CEO of the company, was portrayed in the beginning of this movie to be responsible, merciful, long-suffering, honorable, tenderhearted, and respectful (mind you these good qualities were instilled in him I would guest by his father). On the other hand, his brother Walter Deeds who envied Wesley Deeds, was portrayed to be irresponsible (to the point where he could not even keep a driver license), vengeful, dishonorable, unkind, unmerciful, and he always seemed angry. So called "Good Deeds" 1)After being insulted by Lindsey at the parking garage, after she occupying a parking space reserved for Wesley. Instead of letting her car be towed away, he gave her a break.In this same seen it showed deep character contrast between Wesley Deeds and his brother Walter Deeds. In that seen Walter Deeds cursed Lindsey, call tow truck to tow her vehicle away, when she plead for her vehicle to be released, he mocked her. 2)Wesley Deeds also work late nights as CEO making sure the Company stayed sound and competitive. 3)His fiancé trusted him so much she knew if he was not with her he was at work. 4)In another part of the movie Wesley Deed witness Child Services taking Lindsay's child away because she was living in her vehicle, due to an eviction. Wesley Deeds seeing this decided to let her stay in one of the Company Corporate apartment rent free with her child. Until she's able to be financially sound.There is more so called good deeds of Wesley Deeds throughout this movie. Not only that, he is always a good example to his brother(who is considered to be irresponsible), mother, and fiancé, up to the point nearing end of the movie. This where I found this movie to be very offensive. Too summarize it all: my dad sacrificed to help me be who i am right now, who i am right now; is showing forth that sacrifice. I come to a revelation. I do not want to sacrifice like my dad did for me, but I want to do my own thing. And put all my dad's labor and sacrifice in another man's hand. What a stupid concept to even ponder. Moreover, leave my beautiful trusting fiancé for another women who has insulted me from the very start of seeing her. Wow!Tyler Perry are you kidding me. Misguided and confusing nothing glorious about Mr. Evil Deeds actions.

TamPalm I am not a Tyler Perry defender, but I have to call foul on the 3.1 rating. Those who reviewed the movie average about a 6 or 7, so I'm led to believe many who have voted on this movie did not in fact see the movie. Considering the assault Perry receives from critics--myself included at times--it would not be hard to believe some would undermine the rating system here and seek to sabotage anything with the name "Perry" in front of it. Moving on...I will go out on a limb and say this is Perry's highest quality effort to date. It's the first movie I remember seeing of his that did not run with the trite good-guy/bad-guy story line. This movie had more depth than any of his previous. There were no bad guys. Every character was troubled and coping and...human. Many I think missed the real theme of this movie. It has absolutely nothing to do with a man coming to save a woman. It is about having the courage to follow your own path. It is a universal theme, one that hits home for virtually everyone. Sure there may be better movies out there who execute this theme, but this movie does it competently in my opinion, and by Tyler Perry's standards, it is more than competent. It is dare I say, actually "good?" I liked the acting. Once I got past Thandie's always-strange accent and the little girl's initially poor acting performance, and Brian White's sometimes over-acting, the movie caught its groove and all of the actors delivered. Newton played a particularly touching role. I have to admit her ability to cry on a dime regarding the loss of her child, made me tear up a bit. To say that I was shocked to find myself actually tearing up from a Tyler Perry movie is the understatement of the day. Perry and Gabrielle Union also delivered. Both portrayed their complex characters well and competently showcased the true ambivalence that often accompanies a relationship, especially one that occurs when the couple is past their twenties and have to grapple with all the life expectations that entails. This brings me to the next highlight--the script.It seems like Perry actually took his time--or at least more time than he usually does, say on the horrible movies like "Madea Goes to Jail" or the like--on this script. There was more character development, more growth, more nuance, and unpredictability. There were plot holes, sure, but in general, you didn't feel short-changed as a viewer, like the writer was just trying to rush something through to meet a deadline so that he could ultimately get your money--ahem--"Why did I get Married 2" looking at you! Finally, I liked the pace of the movie. Some may think it was slow, I think it was mature...a mature movie about mature matters. I liked this for a change, especially in comparison to the low-IQ slapstick I had previously associated with Tyler Perry. And let me leave this little tidbit: If you, like me, happen to currently be in a similar place in life as these characters--about to make big life decisions but fear you are not making the right ones--you will doubly appreciate the meditative pace. You will appreciate the more introspective tone than is found in Perry's other movies.The movie is not perfect, but I will give it a relatively high rating simply to combat the unfairly low rating it has as of this writing. We should applaud growth when we see it. "See it" being the operative phrase. See the movie before low-rating it. Have some integrity folks.
