Deliver Us from Eva
Overview
Eva Dandridge has been in charge of her younger sisters ever since their parents died many years ago. She is a very uptight young woman who constantly meddles in the affairs of her sisters and their significant others. Her brothers-in-law, who are tired of Eva interfering in their lives, decide to set her up with someone so she can leave them alone. They end up paying Ray, the local "playboy," $5,000 to date her. The plan goes by smoothly, but trouble comes when Ray actually falls in love with Eva.

Depicts gender warfare as a kind of pillow fight.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Any romantic comedy that gives you time to think probably isn't doing its job.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Stuff like that happens only in sitcoms and bad movies ...
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Solid cast and the occasional chuckle notwithstanding, this movie is wildly uneven, chugging this way and that before careening off track.
