My Kinda Review: The Family That Preys

What I Liked:

• Sanaa Lathan's bob. It was sharp enough at moments to cut you like a knife. It really fit her icy character. I just loved it.
• Robin Givens. It was nice to see her on the big screen. I've never seen a woman "act" with her nose before. That nose was going through some serious emotion.
• The secretary. Wasn't she a hoot?
• Rockmond Dunbar. Just because. I don't understand why there wasn't a moment that he didn't have his shirt off...

What I Didn't Like:

• Tyler Perry and that damn wig. They couldn't comb it/ pick it out? Also, his attempts at hetero characters just makes everybody in the audience giggle uncomfortably.
• Although I love her. Alfre Woodard's character just bothered me at times. I know alot of us have matriarchs in our family that are similar to her character, but on Alfre... When she breathed " Thank You Jesus" five minutes into the movie, I just thought, here we go...
• The predictability. When that little curly haired boy ran into the diner, I just nodded mmhhmm. I know what thats all about already. When dude came home with the necklace and hugged his wife, then she made that face? mmhhmm.
• The unrealistic attempts to throw some faith in. On what interstate was Alfre's character on that just so happen to have an actual baptism off to the side? And aren't there some procedures per the ceremony of the ritual? I know you can't just walk into a baptism, get dipped ( in your St. John ) and then leave.

Overall:

I won't say I disliked the movie. I did enjoy it for what it was. There was drama and moments of comedy, as well as " Ooooo uh uh" moments. I mean lets face it, Tyler knows his audience and he caters to just that. He has black film money on lock. There's something to be said to get a Kathy Bates and an Alfre Woodard in your movie.
