This movie is such a treat, there were lots of things going on throughout the movie but By far my favorite was the Friendship of the two mothers.

These two stories don’t have much to do with each other—except everybody’s related in a roundabout way. I guess almost any film can be that. I can only conclude that reviewers say the cover, perhaps the direct/ writer and decided that they have enough information to make a calling. And nobody says boo about it. Directed by Tyler Perry. That strip club I mentioned earlier? Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization, earns a small affiliate fee from Amazon or iTunes when you use our links to make a purchase. A cheating wife. Writer, director, producer, actor Tyler Perry (best known for his "Big Momma" franchise) goes for a bittersweet comedy-drama that delivers well. And it comes across as rushed and underdeveloped. This 10-digit number is your confirmation number. Perry always has a message within his movies, but this one was so convoluted that the message was almost lost. Quite an experience. What the heck? She comes across as a very sweet, genuine woman and friend with a son whose a piece of work. Good set-up of plot and characters, if a bit predictable. This is a touching story of love, deceit, friendship and compassion where all the evil doers get theirs and the good people triumph. So much attention is paid to the affair between Andrea and William and so little is paid to the two marriages, that you end up saying "who cares about these marriages anyway". “I have spent my entire life giving it away. This movie is plain and simply BOMB with a capital B. This film did not get the press it deserved! Could there be a sh*ttier show???

And are we to believe that they went so far as to use company money to further their illicit affair. He has invented his own genre of movie. She paraphrases the Bible, telling her younger daughter, Pam, that we must be careful how we treat strangers. Will Charlotte reveal her dark secret?

Robyn Givens surprises us with a good, solid performance also, a true professional, and her timing was on point! In my opinion, they were the best part of the entire movie. Whatever its other sins, the movie cannot be accused of wanting for ambition or scope. There are several allusions to an extramarital affair, but only one scene in which the couple embraces/kisses. The only saving grace are a pair of performances at the center.

We're updating our reviews to better highlight authentic stories and accurate, diverse representations. Alice sings in the church choir. There were so many subplots in this movie that the average person could get lost. It's not that I don't trust you: it is your inner thoughts that give me pause. I felt as if I was being held hostage to Mr. Perry's typical rah-rah script where all the evil doers get theirs and the good people triumph. These gals have been doing this, and doing it well, for a long time, and are perfect together. |, September 15, 2008 Robin Givens gave what has to be to date her best big screen performance as the honorable and hard working business woman (Abigail "Abby" Dexter). The image is an example of a ticket confirmation email that AMC sent you when you purchased your ticket. And Charlotte asserts that her husband bedded many other women during their marriage. She and Woodard have mastered playing mother and daughter (this is their third time) so well that they should be cast as a team. Her only response to her daughter's question about her being a millionaire at the end is "You didn't ask." I watched it on TV half an hour ago, and when I came to check it out here on IMDb, I was absolutely shocked that it only has 3.3 stars! We learn that Andrea’s own father (Alice’s husband) took off with another woman himself. It has Tyler Perry's trademark trio: sincerity, spirituality, and story. Families can talk about The Family That Preys' messages. As far as affairs go, it seems a bit unrealistic that they would be so sloppy in covering up their indiscretion. As always, Tyler Perry's movies deliver great performance and very entertaining plots of real life drama. To call The Family That Preys a transitional effort would be accurate and fair. Great movie, right? |, September 12, 2017 I liked certain elements - Alice and Charlotte's story lines being the best. I saw this film last night in the theater with a packed audience. (His heavy use of Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance” underscores that idea.). Parents and caregivers: Set limits for violence and more with Plus. | Rating: 3.0/4.0

All in all, I think Tyler Perry's movies are progressively getting better. But still, Alice’s pronouncement—along with pages of problematic content—mar that seemingly sincere, solid message. (She fooled around, too, to make things fair.

The movie plays almost exactly like four daily soap episodes stitched together. The haughty, delusional daughter is a stock character from other Perry movies, and unfortunately not particularly believable. Join now. By the way, Bates and Woodward look terrific for AARP-aged dames. |, September 15, 2008

Perry is evolving well in his milieu as his empire grows. Where's Morgan Freeman? While Perry, much like Spike Lee, seems to have his finger on the pulse of the black community, his storylines and themes are universal. As an audience member I greatly appreciated the scenes where these two stellar actresses were on camera together. Definitely recommended. |, February 18, 2012 Both parties knew about the "no fraternization policy" yet they wouldn't take precautions to ensure that they wouldn't be caught and fired.

Her snobbish and arrogant daughter Andrea (Sanaa Lathan) is graduated in Economic Science and works in a construction corporation while her sister Pam (Taraji Henson) stayed with Alice working in the bar. By creating an account, you agree to the Privacy Policy |, September 15, 2008 But it’s inspiring that this moment of spiritual significance is the only thing she really wants to do during their cross-country trek: She wants to see her friend baptized. The song "I Hope You Dance" is prominently mentioned in the film, instead of just being on the soundtrack. And if he passes on that other "s" -- subtlety -- that's all right. What I find interesting about the most negative reviews of participants who contributed is how trite many of them are. I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now.

Tyler Perry once again tackles issues of race, class, faith, and marriage in his dramedy THE FAMILY THAT PREYS.

Don't have an account? Fairly mild; language includes "bastard," "piss," and "colored woman" (said jokingly by an African-American woman). The Family that Preys shows grand advances in the filmmaking education of playwright-turned-filmmaker Tyler Perry. Once again Tyler Perry does what he does best; not only dealing with black and white but just people in general and a lot of actual things that happens in the corporate world. We were quite satisfied with the story and filming. Clueless about Andrea’s sideline infatuation-turned-affair, Chris is dumbfounded to discover that most of her co-workers don’t even know she’s married. Charlotte and Alice go on cross-country road trip (a la Oprah Winfrey and her best friend Gayle), while at home, a long-term affair between Andrea and William threatens to devastate both families. Pam husband, Ben (Perry), works alongside Chris, but unlike his cuckolded brother-in-law, who wants to start his own construction company and hopes William will be his first investor, Ben is content with his lot in life.

Thank you for your support. The dysfunctional relationships between Andrea and Chris and William and Jillian are typical. I’ve long found it strange that, in a country where nearly 80 percent of the population says it believes in the Christian God, so few films acknowledge religion at all. Films like these help to dispel all the ghetto stereotypes that Hollywood tends to perpetuate. If all Tyler Perry did with The Family That Preys was give Alfre Woodard a good part, that would be enough to make the movie worth seeing. There were so many other story lines going on at once - perhaps too many, but a movie about two friends, one with Alzheimer's, the other one intent on helping her ailing friend enjoy her life by taking a road trip, meeting interesting people along the way, would have been a gripping, good story, one perhaps in which Bates and Woodard might have been nominated for an Oscar.
