This is actually the first Tyler Perry movie I've watched. It was better then I thought it would be. I did find it annoying that everyone seemed to blame everyone else for their problems. For example some girl knowingly parks in someone else's space, then blames everyone else when it gets toed. The characters were one dimensional, and the dialogue was cliche, much like you'd see in a lifetime movie or something. The acting wasn't very good, and there was too much filler.

Not unlike THE ROOM, GOOD DEEDS is padded with a great deal of useless footage of San Francisco, but the resemblance doesn't end there: Tyler Perry's script is a half-baked combination of cliched dialogue, one-dimensional characters, and melodramatic behavior. His direction is no great shakes, and in the leading role, he proves utterly uncharismatic--which still puts him ahead of Thandie Newton, who's horribly hammy and badly miscast. Gabrielle Union provides the lone bright spot in this mess.

"Perry's considerate plotting is deliberate, perhaps even overlong, but with an attuned sense of people's evolving feelings and relationships." - Rob Humanick
