Movie Info
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

In essence, the film is a cross between Meet the Parents and an Adam Sandler idiot-in-a-china-shop comedy.
Top CriticThese all are amiable people, decent people, sometimes funny people. But unfortunately, the peeps of ''Peeples'' just aren't very memorable people.
While she doesn't quite achieve the screwball zaniness she strives for, Chism deserves commendation for crafting a farcical work that feels like it concerns real characters.
The performers are up to the wacko task. But one of the movie's key problems is that it only pretends to let loose, its calculated absurdity firmly tethered to the life lessons that lie in wait.
Defined by Three's Company-grade humor, this attempt at male-anxiety cringe-comedy is little more than a sitcom writ large ...
"Peeples" may appropriate its entire premise and plot structure from "Meet the Parents," but its heart is suffused with French cinema.
Tina Gordon Chism's film collapses into a series of clumsy improvisatory sketches, tied up in cheap, risibly sentimental catharsis.
An amusing, if not exactly original, African-American variation on Meet the Parents.
