a gullible husband.

And because Tyler does it, it's okay. For example -- it's soap opera-ish. Good set-up of plot and characters, if a bit predictable. 5 out of 7 found this helpful. Jillian warns Charlotte of William's plan to have the board vote her out. This movie was seriously crazy.

Jillian then confronts Andrea in the hotel room where trysts with William were held each Wednesday, and warns her to stay away from her family. Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Why didn't William try to get his job back after his mother died?

There were some major potholes that left me wondering... Bate's and Woodard's performances were by far the best, and I think Tyler Perry could have had a very successful film if he had concentrated on the friendship between those two women alone. 104 out of 124 found this helpful. 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). Angry and disgusted, Chris slaps her, sending her flying over the counter. In this Harvest Pool, the human preys stay (alive) for a while and are disintegrated till nothing but skin is left floating. But please do not simply read the reviews or even take my word for it, see it for yourself and make up your mind. He has matured in his film-making.

She does not use her money to build a better restaurant or to help her poor daughter and son-in law. While Alice travels with Charlotte in a road trip without destiny, the ambition and infidelity of William trigger a series of events that will affect relationships in both families. But God forbid if a white director/screenwriter did it, he'd be IMMEDIATELY skewered. The plot(s) were not difficult to follow, or swallow, and the entire cast was perfect, not a bad actor among them. There is never any suspense and you can normally see the so-called 'oh my' moments a mile away. 'The Umbrella Academy' Season 2 Ending Explained: What Is The Sparrow Academy? Theaters are open tonight - who's going? The Family That Preys. The acting was done well, even with the characters who were two dimensional. Chuck Wilson. Was this review helpful? His "body of work" sucks!!

Don't get me started on the homeless millionaire.

She tells him that the money is bonuses she received from William and that she has the right to some privacy from her spouse. In some ways this was the female version of The Bucket List, even as it was hard to watch, it was still an incredibly moving movie.

The Cartwright family is very wealthy and is headed by strong willed, business savvy, Charlotte Cartwright (Kathy Bates). The Evans family is headed by hardworking middle classed Alice Pratt Evans (Alfre Woodard) who is the mother of two daughters, Andrea (Sanaa Lathan) and Pam (Taraji P. Henson). Tyler Perry's back to his old tricks with The Family That Preys - A film that is just as manipulative and as ham-fisted of a melodrama as some of his earlier work.

These gals have been doing this, and doing it well, for a long time, and are perfect together. This one had some amazing performances (Alfre Woodard-WOW lady!) Bates' son (Hauser) is having an affair with one of Woodard's daughters (Lathan). Heck, they all did.

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 understand that this storyline is a writer/director's choice, but it doesn't seem realistic.

After reading a few of the first reviews here awhile back I didn't think The Family That Preys would be anything outstanding. And actually I thought she should leave him since she seemed to detest him greatly. It's one of those movies you wish there wasn't an ending to, seriously. 30 out of 34 found this helpful.

If they aren't long time friends off-camera, they surely fooled me. "The Family That Preys" is a story that revolves around friendship and deception, within two families: The Evans' and Cartwright's. Great song sung by Gladys Knight.
