Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry arrived on the red carpet Tuesday night (February 14) in Los Angeles for the Hollywood premiere of his latest movie, "Good Deeds."
In the film, Perry plays a successful, wealthy businessman, Wesley Deeds, who's always done what's expected of him. But he's jolted out of his predictable routine when he helps a down-on-her-luck single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building.
The actor, who gets writer, director and producer credits on the film, told Reuters that he enjoys making movies that make people happy.

"Good Deeds" opens on February 24th.
