Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In November 2012 author Terri Donald sued Perry, claiming Good Deeds was based on her 2007 book Bad Apples Can Be Good Fruit. She sought $225,000 and a credit for her book in the opening and closing credits, and had reportedly sent him a copy under the pseudonym TLO Red'ness before production.
- In August 2013 U.S. District Court Judge William Pauley III dismissed the lawsuit, stating that copyright law only protects expression and not ideas, and that there was little similarity in the content.
- Tyler Perry collected Golden Raspberry Award nominations for both Worst Actor and Worst Director for the film, and was nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for the same performance.
- Good Deeds grossed $15,583,924 on its opening weekend, ranking second, and by November 2012 the film had more than doubled that with a total gross of $35,025,791.
