Good Deeds

Good Deeds is a 2012 American romantic drama film written, co-produced, directed by and starring Tyler Perry with the rest of the cast consisting of Thandiwe Newton, Brian White, Rebecca Romijn, Jamie Kennedy, Phylicia Rashad, and Gabrielle Union.

Although he is incredibly wealthy, he has little in the sense of freedom and has come to adapt to a certain predictable lifestyle noted by his fiancée Natalie.

One day before work, Wesley picks up his younger brother Walter, who lost his driver's license after a string of DUIs.

On the impoverished side of town, Lindsey Wakefield, a single mother and janitor for the Deeds Corporation, finds out from her building superintendent Milton she will be evicted by her landlady if she doesn't pay her bills soon.

Lindsey rushes to pick up her check from work and ends up parking in Wesley's reserved spot, leaving her six-year-old daughter Ariel in the car.

Lindsay finds out from her boss that the IRS is holding most of her pay for the next six months, forcing her to take on the night shift to make up for the lost income.

While working late, Wesley catches Lindsey making a call to the IRS with a company phone which is grounds for termination.

Meanwhile that night, Natalie and Heidi, who is also John’s wife, attend a fashion show in support of their friend Mark Freeze.

Wesley struggles to expand the business with Walter sabotaging the purchase of a long time rival company of Deeds Incorporated.

John tries to warn him that Walter might be purposely trying to make Wesley fail so he can prove to everyone that he should be the one running the company.

Wesley at that point forward tries to make their lives a bit easier since Lindsey has to bring Ariel with her to work at night.

Lindsey arrives at the party to talk to Wesley, and although initially wanting to leave after seeing the wealthy crowd, Walter forces her to stay.

Its consensus states, "Tyler Perry's craftmanship as a director continues to improve, but his stories are still the same ol' hoary, pretentious melodramas.

Donald reportedly sent a copy of her book to Tyler under the pseudonym, TLO Red'ness, before the film went into production.
