Review of Peeples

Peeples (2013)
7/10
A movie that is so unoriginal & generic that if not for Robinson & the comedy it would be hard to watch. I did laugh a lot. I say B+

"We're not the chocolate Kennedys." Wade Walker (Robinson) is in love with Grace Peeples (Washington) and is getting ready to propose. Grace leaves for the weekend to visit her family without inviting Wade. After talking to his brother Wade gets up the courage to surprise her at her family's cabin. When he shows up things don't go as planned and he begins to question if this is a family he wants to be a part of. First off I have to say I'm not racist. That said if Tyler Perry's name is on a movie I tend to avoid it. Even though this is just a "Tyler Perry Presents" it was enough to lower my expectations. I'm not sure if it was the low expectations or not but I ended up really enjoying this and laughing the whole way through. Robinson is very funny and David Allen Grier has some really funny scenes in this. It's a good thing the comedy was there though because the movie is so generic and overdone that the laughs are the only thing that made it interesting. After 5 minutes you can pretty much tell exactly what is going to happen. Overall, a funny movie that was much, much better then I was expecting. I surprisingly give it a B+.
