Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film takes off when Woodard's and Bates' characters go on a Thelma & Louise-style road trip.

fresh:
By far the best thing about the enterprise is Woodard. If she's not in this thing, I think it goes kaput.

rotten:
The Family that Preys shows grand advances in the filmmaking education of playwright-turned-filmmaker Tyler Perry. It's also his soapiest film yet, an overwrought melodrama of sibling rivalry, infidelity, family business power plays and terminal illness.
– Roger Moore,

rotten:
While it's wonderful to see actresses as shamefully underemployed as Woodard and Bates on the big screen, even they can't make sense of [these] incoherent characters.
– Sam Adams,
AV Club,

rotten:
This snail-paced film might as well take place in the 1950s, since it seems to have been inspired by one those Hollywood melodramas in which one company employs the entire town, and the only places free of corruption are the church and the local diner.
