Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys treads the filmmaker's established terrain of family loyalty and moral uprightness, though the occasionally predictable plot slides forward, aided by an excess of soapy melodrama. Read critic reviews

Oct 14, 2010Put Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard in a movie together and how can you go wrong?? Can't in my opinion. This is a really good drama. Tyler Perry really seems to have a gift in creating entertaining and memorable movies. This is one of them.Cynthia S Super Reviewer

Jun 06, 2010This is a touching story of love, deceit, friendship and compassion where all the evil doers get theirs and the good people triumph. Kathy Bates (Charlotte Cartwright) and Alfre Woodard(Alice Pratt) both gave two of the best performances in this film. Once again Tyler Perry does what he does best; not only dealing with black and white but just people in general and a lot of actual things that happens in the corporate world. The title was purposefully chosen to be ?The Family that Preys?. The story line, referring to backstabbing, down and dirty, dysfunctional family dynamics where people sometimes prey together upon others and sometimes they prey individually on each other.Deb S Super Reviewer
