A simplistic and utterly-predictable morality tale.

There aren't a lot of laughs in "Good Deeds," and it could have used more of them.
February 24, 2012
An otherwise unremarkable pic that takes what feels like a very long time to unwind a drearily predictable storyline.

A ridiculously redemptive finale negates almost all of the preceding dramatic tension and resurrects a cloying Richard Marx chestnut to boot.

Good Deeds, with its Frank Capra-gone-Good Will Hunting title, is lucky to have Thandie Newton, easily the most gifted actress ever to have starred in a Tyler Perry movie.

In terms of Perry's oeuvre it's surprisingly light on the cheesy melodrama.

It's in the upper half of Perry's filmography, at any rate, both in terms of conceptual rigor and execution.

A few good scenes, a few solid messages...But he's such a dull dramatist and boring actor that the message isn't delivered.

Whose life, Wesley asks in the movie's narration, is he living? Judging from all the sterile office and apartment space and his mile-long face, I'd say Bruce Willis's in "The Sixth Sense.''

Tyler Perry's Good Deeds is supposed to be a feel-good movie. Unfortunately, it takes way too long to make you feel much of anything.
