A ROTTEN TOMATO: Good Deeds


I never planned to watch this film, but I got roped into seeing this with my mom and my sister. This is probably Tyler Perry's worst film. My mom and sis are both Tyler Perry fans and even they thought the plot was silly and unrealistic. There was one good scene in an elevator, but the rest was appallingly bad. It almost made me re-consider the acting talents of Thandie Newton and Gabrielle Union, who can be pretty decent when given the right roles. Unfortunately, this script was so bad that any actor would look like an amateur. If the horrible formulaic trailer didn't deter you already, take my advice and avoid this film.

  1. I can't even bring myself to watching anything that he writes or directs; they are so bad. I wonder if some of the good actors he gets for his movies know just how bad they are. I hope so.

  2. I think they know that his movies are bad, but it's a case of "don't bite the hand that feeds you". A lot of these black actors probably can't get work elsewhere. It's a shame really.
