Critic Reviews

  • Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York

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

  • Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

    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.''

  • Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

    There aren't a lot of laughs in "Good Deeds," and it could have used more of them.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    An otherwise unremarkable pic that takes what feels like a very long time to unwind a drearily predictable storyline.

  • David DeWitt, New York Times

    Good Deeds honors goodness, which isn't at all a bad thing, and it's not without moments of genuine feeling. But by the film's end, after watching a seemingly infinite number of dour close-ups of sober self-evaluation, I felt bludgeoned.

    I liked the story...good people getting together, trying their best to do the right thing. This is my first Tyler Perry movie and I think now I have to go back and look at some of the others.

  • Fascade F


    Being pushed over the edge in so many directions not only as a successful businessman, but as a member of his family, Wesley Deeds (Tyler Perry) has for quite sometime continuously compromised his patience with tolerating his brother Walter (Brian J. White) irresponsible behavior or… More
