This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

First this is not a Tyler Perry Movie. Every movie that has a black cast is not Tyler Perry! He is not the only one that makes movie with Moors in them. This movie was good and I love the fact that it is not like most and making moors look stupid. This is something that could happen in anyone's life. But because their is no soft shoeing some of you don't like it. You probably think. I like this movie and the cast is classic and smart. Sorry they could not dumb it down for you all. You are saying Tyler Perry can so better than this but all his movies make moors look stupid and that is why you don't like this. Sorry there are more educated moors than you think and I think the educated ones will enjoy a movie like this. For those that don't i'm sure Tyler has some Tom foolery coming soon. If you did not like this you probably never watched The Cosby Show. Educated Moors to boring for dumb people. Race should never be an issue but Welcome to America where it does. I enjoyed the movie.

"Peeples" is an awkward meet-the-parents-type of comedy, that unfortunately doesn't really stand out in any particular way compared to the many other movies in the same genre that has come and gone over the years.The story is about Wade (played by Craig Robinson) who travel to pay a surprise visit to his girlfriend Grace Peeples (played by Kerry Washington) while she is visiting her family in the Hamptons. The Peeples seem to have it all, but things are not entirely picture-perfect underneath the surface, and situations boil over as Wade enters the picture.The situations in the movie are good enough and there is an occasional laugh to be found here and there, but be warned that the movie will not have you laughing constantly throughout the entire length.As for the people on the cast list, then they had put together a good ensemble of people for the various roles, and each did bring something unique to the movie. And the chemistry between the various characters (and actors) be it for a good or bad situation was working quite well. It was David Alan Grier, who played the father in the movie, who was doing the best performance here and carried most of the movie.However, I am rating "Peeples" a mere 5 out of 10 stars, because it never stepped out of mediocrity, and truth be told, then there are far better comedies in this particular genre. But still, it is good for a laugh or two if you have nothing better to do.

. . . which is par for the course for films which Hollywood is trying to market to the "urban" crowd. Anything which has to do with genitalia and poop is thrown into previews for flicks with minority-predominant casts (which means if a movie such as PEEPLES has 125 seconds of such material in its 94 minute, 45.13-second running time, and the studio wants a trailer running two minutes, then the producer honchos have to edit five seconds of what they consider "visual bait" out of the preview). What you do not really get a sense of from the "blaxploitation" trailer put out there for PEEPLES is that this feature is mostly about the greatest novel in American literature, MOBY DICK. Protagonist or main character Wade Walker (played by Craig Robinson) is an ordinary boy from south Detroit or Brooklyn who fixes his harpoon sights on a prize catch named Grace Peeples (Kerry Washington). Writer\Director Tina Gordon Chism makes it crystal clear that "Wade" is her Capt. Ahab, with Grace standing in for the white whale, by placing the action in a Connecticut community which still has Herman Melville\Moby Dick Days every summer (featuring Grace's dad, Judge Peeples, as Ahab, in a kind of "icky" flirtation with incest). All in all, this is the best reinterpretation of Melville done in the 2000s so far (but, as they say, the century is still young).

Tina Gordon Chism did an awesome job in her Directorial debut and Writing of the movie "Peeples"!!! Wow...I Laughed from Beginning to End (Literally)!!! I am so glad TP helped her with her first of many movies, so she will know everything from A to Z as to what to do and what not to do in this industry. He is such a good role model for up & coming writers & directors.I look forward to her future films and hope she makes them even lengthier as this one was only an hour & a half. Can't wait for the DVD to be Released in September!!! :))Don't worry about the Box Office #s on this one, you are "In the Door now girl"!!! :))
