Good Deeds (2012)

Absolutely Fantastic

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Tyler Perry tries to make good films and in recent films he has tried to get away from the Madea films but he's still relying on the same clichés that make his films really hard to sit through.The main problem with this film is that it is as dull as a slice of bread. This review is going to be short because, by God, I don't remember what happened. Something about a guy not enjoying his life despite being rich. An unbelievably cliché story with unbelievably cliché characters that you have honestly seen in hundreds of other projects.I really don't remember anything about the film so I do not remember anything that was salvageable about it, it was boring, recycled. I know a lot of people probably like this film but I just think it was one of the worst I've ever seen. If your not a Perry fan, I'd say skip it.

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.

I have been a Tyler Perry fan for years, but movies like this reaffirm my belief that he needs to stick with the Madea formula.The general concept of the movie is a great one, and I think in another circumstance, it might have worked, but my biggest issues were with the people chosen to portray the characters. First, I have a hard time with Tyler as Deeds. Maybe it's just his huge personality (after all he IS the "Grand Dame" of dramedy) or maybe it was the writing, but it didn't feel believable.Thandie Newton was not at ALL a good choice as a down on her luck, working Mom. And I hated how she could be so ignorant and flying off the handle at everyone one moment and then completely sweet and gracious the next. I think her character should have been tempered with some Prozac! Gabrielle Union was great in her role, but in honesty, I couldn't help but wonder if she was even necessary to the story. She was like a loose thread they had to keep coming back to. In hindsight, maybe Thandie would have been better as the wife.Overall, it wasn't a BAD movie, it just was hopelessly unsatisfying and not one I'd care to watch over again.

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.
