Review of Good Deeds

Good Deeds (2012)
1/10
Tyler Perry's solution to every problem (spoilers)
26 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
It used to be that Tyler Perry made movies that were about the hope and help there is in God. But there was always an element in his movies that bothered me: part of the solution to becoming happy and whole always involved dumping your boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/wife and getting a new one.

Now, in this movie, there is no longer any Christian pretense. All that's left is Tyler Perry's one true theme: "To be happy, you need a new love interest." At least in his previous movies, the dumped love interests were abusive in some way. But in this movie, oddly named "Good Deeds," Perry's love interest has done nothing wrong. Instead, she's a virtual angel who lets him off the hook by saying, "We're not ready to get married," all because their relationship had become predictable and boring, especially in comparison to Perry's more exciting relationship with his new love interest.

So if you go to Tyler Perry movies to be inspired or uplifted, I would recommend skipping this movie, and being cautious in the future, because it seems like every movie is worse than the last.
