Filmmaker and outspoken Christian Tyler Perry is looking to break out with upcoming film “Good Deeds.” Widely known for his flamboyant but good-hearted character Madea, Perry will star in his upcoming film without the wise-talking character.
Recently attracting controversy over another forth-coming film, “Marriage Counselor,” for casting soon to be former wife of Kris
Humphries, Kim Kardashian, in a movie about marriage, Perry is on to other things.
Perry stars in the movie as Wesley Deeds III, a fifth generation Ivy League school graduate, groomed by his father to take over the family business and by his mother, starring the lovable “Cosby Show” mom, Phylicia Rashad, to be the perfect gentleman.
With a life that has been planned out for him since birth, he lives the perfect, yet boring life. This boredom is reflected in the mannerisms of his fiancée, played by Gabrielle Union, who can predict and time his every move.
This all changes when Deeds meets Lindsey, a single mom, played by Thandie Newton, (who starred as the mother in Will Smith’s “The Pursuit of Happiness,” ) that has the not-so-perfect life.
Struggling to make ends meet to provide for her daughter, Lindsey works as a janitor at Deed’s corporate office. Things get complicated when Deeds finds Lindsey’s daughter sleeping in the cleaning room supply closet as he goes in to retrieve a paper-towel.
Challenging his lifestyle and being out of touch with the real world, Lindsey helps to broaden Deed’s prospective as he goes on a search to find what makes him happy in life, breaking out of the neatly molded life that he was born into.
This new relationship could potentially change his entire life, from his job to his fiancée.
The film also stars Rebecca Romijn, Eddie Cibrian, Brian White, and with appearances by Beverly Johnson and Jamie Kennedy.
“Good Deeds” is set to be released in theaters February 24, 2012.
