Peeples


Sparks fly in the Hamptons when "regular guy" Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) crashes the preppy Peeples family reunion to ask for their precious daughter Grace's (Kerry Washington) hand in marriage. Wade might be a fish out of water among this picture-perfect East Coast clan always trying to keep up appearances, but he's not about to let himself sink. Instead, in a wild weekend of fun, dysfunction and hilarious surprises, Wade is about to discover there's room for all kinds of Peeples in this family, no matter their differences. Writer and first-time director Tina Gordon Chism (writer of "Drumline") joins forces with Tyler Perry to present a laugh-out-loud look at the family ties that freak us out... but bind us together with love.

Hate to review this so bluntly, but this movie is literally a black version of Meet The Parents.  Same father/daughter stuff.  Same boyfriend/dad stuff.  Same family member hijinks.  I like Craig Robinson so the movie was somewhat entertaining.  There were some decent laughs here and there.  Would have been funnier if it wasn't a carbon copy of Meet The Parents.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone rushing to see this.  There are much better movies out there.  You can just watch any of the Meet The Parents movies for free and wait for this one to show up on tv.
