Critic Reviews of "The Family That Preys"
L.A. WeeklySeptember 18, 2008This snail-paced film might as well take place in the 1950s, since it seems to have been inspired by one those Hollywood melodramas in which one company employs the entire town, and the only places free of corruption are the church and the local diner.
AV ClubSeptember 15, 2008While it's wonderful to see actresses as shamefully underemployed as Woodard and Bates on the big screen, even they can't make sense of [these] incoherent characters.
Orlando SentinelSeptember 15, 2008The Family that Preys shows grand advances in the filmmaking education of playwright-turned-filmmaker Tyler Perry. It's also his soapiest film yet, an overwrought melodrama of sibling rivalry, infidelity, family business power plays and terminal illness.
Washington PostSeptember 15, 2008By far the best thing about the enterprise is Woodard. If she's not in this thing, I think it goes kaput.
Los Angeles TimesSeptember 15, 2008The film takes off when Woodard's and Bates' characters go on a Thelma & Louise-style road trip.
Boston GlobeSeptember 15, 2008The movie plays almost exactly like four daily soap episodes stitched together.
Antagony & EcstasyFebruary 09, 2012Whatever its other sins, the movie cannot be accused of wanting for ambition or scope.
CinematicalDecember 17, 2009Exactly the kind of preachy, pandering, tone-shifting, gospel-laced soap opera that [Perry has] served up time and time again to his dedicated audience.
Sin MagazineOctober 08, 2008I appreciate what Perry is trying to do with his films, and it's nice to see an urban film that isn't a "Gangsta Picture", but he needs to tone down the soap opera qualities and let his stories unfold naturally.
San Antonio Express-NewsSeptember 29, 2008(Tyler) Perry, a cinematic one-man band who wrote the script, produces, directs and plays the role of a decent husband and construction worker, is still growing as a filmmaker.
Filmcritic.comSeptember 25, 2008To call The Family That Preys a transitional effort would be accurate and fair
BeliefnetSeptember 19, 2008It has Tyler Perry's trademark trio: sincerity, spirituality, and story. And if he passes on that other "s" -- subtlety -- that's all right.
