Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The suds that cascade through Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys more than equal the cubic footage from nighttime soaps like Dallas, Dynasty and their offspring.
Rotten: As usual, the villains are very bad, and the good guys are very noble -- until they get mad and clock their wives.
Fresh: As usual, morality prevails: Faith and family are key virtues, while lust and greed are duly punished, though Perry is getting better at disguising his manipulation.
Fresh: The film takes off when Woodard's and Bates' characters go on a Thelma & Louise-style road trip.
