Good Deeds

Tagline: Wesley Deeds Is About To Discover The Person He Was Meant To Be.

Tyler Perry’s Wesley Deeds is a successful businessman who has always done what’s expected of him. (You don’t get a surname like that in the movies by dumb luck, you know.) When it comes to business, he’s taken control of his father’s firm. When it comes to his family, he’s put up with his brother’s wayward ways at the workplace. When it comes to his life, he’s set fair on making an honest woman out of his unsettled fiancée, Natalie (Gabrielle Union).

Sure enough, the status quo can’t remain in place, and when our Wesley has the fortune to meet Lindsey (Thandie Newton), a single mother who works on the cleaning staff in his office building, he can’t help but offer to help her with her life. And this change from the norm sets Wesley off in a direction he’s unaccustomed to: the unpredictable.

And unpredictable is unfortunately what we have to tell you about the movie, as it doesn’t seem as if Good Deeds was being screened for the critics. Box office returns — and early word of mouth — will tell whether this was a wise move or not.
