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.
