User Reviews

A person finding a path they want

The premise of Good Deeds, had solid depth with some light-hearted overtones. The storyline was well paced, and easy to watch.

Thandie Newton's role had a bit of meat too it, which made the movie. Her 'simple' character pulls you in.

Great to see a relatively strong black cast (typically a tall order to deliver), and of course Mrs Huxtable!

I noted some low scores on IMDb, I would not be so fast to sweep it under the carpet. A mature look at love hides somewhere in Good Deeds.

Watching a movie about choosing the right path. Finding the type of love you want, can be good for the soul.
