Tyler Perry steps away from his popular character Madea to play a very different role, and the risk pays off. In Good Deeds, Perry plays Wesley Deeds, the son of a successful software magnate who's ended up running his father's company along with his undependable brother (Brian White, I Can Do Bad All by Myself). He's engaged to marry Natalie (Gabrielle Union, Bring It On) in what promises to be a comfortable but dull relationship. By chance in his office building he meets a cleaning woman named Lindsey (Thandie Newton, Crash), a single mother whose life is falling apart--and in trying to help her, he discovers that the life he's leading will never bring him happiness. Good Deeds suffers from a few overly broad strokes and stays firmly within the boundaries of the romance genre, but despite that it's Perry's most understated and layered movie. Newton is particularly good, grounding the picture in Lindsey's simmering panic, and her interplay with Perry has a lot of heart that carries the movie through some of its more fairy-tale-romance conventions. Union and Phylicia Rashad are also strong; White is a bit over-the-top, but his role is the most melodramatically written. Overall, though, Good Deeds unfolds more subtly than previous Perry films but is more emotionally engaging for it. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Touching Movie February 28, 2012

By B. Jones

Format:DVD

Once again, Tyler Perry delivers a story that not only focuses on a woman's Cinderella life but also includes a kind hearted man's point of view. Great performances from Tyler Perry, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad and Brian White. And i'm SO glad to see Gabrielle Union on the big screen again! I can't wait to add this movie to my Tyler Perry collection!

By Joyce

Format:DVD

This is Tyler Perry's best movie. His attention to believable characters with a nitty-gritty reality to their problems creates an atmosphere of intense interest and compassion for the
characters. I can't wait to get a DVD of this film. I saw it in the theater and was mesmerized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly satisfying, definitely a soul searcher March 14, 2012

By Dee Austin

Format:DVD

I cried several times during the movie. I really loved the contrast between all the characters. The story telling was incredibly touching, it was delivered in a very realistic way. Incredible acting by all, loved Thandie in this, and I thought this was Tyler's best acting gig ever.
