Peeples Movie Review: | |
| Saves itself from a complete belly flop by its good-natured charm. Laremy Legel-Film.com Writer-director Tina Gordon Chism implies that people should accept each other for who they are, but with no genuine insight to back up this moral, it feels hollow. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader The slapstick is often clunky, but Robinson has a sweet jester's disposition that keeps many of the gags from collapsing. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor It's often rote and by-the-numbers, but writer-director Tina Gordon Chism injects the proceedings with enough smart chat, clever situations and spot-on casting choices to make this well-traveled road feel a little less stale. Alonso Duralde-The Wrap A meet-the-parents-and-their-rigid-disapproval comedy, with a bit of fish-out-of-water humor tossed in. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald Even the bouncy score sounds like it was lifted from an old Three's Company episode; that is when they're not all belting out a song about where it's not cool to pee. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star How did they convince Kerry Washington to be in this mess? Talk about a scandal! Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com [Writer/director Tina Gordon Chism is ] good at low-key, observational humor, and the all-around excellent cast swings with aplomb from silly to sweet. Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle The arch and resolution are some indication of how utterly lifeless Peeples is, both in the sense of lacking vitality and having no real connection to how people think, feel and react to situations. David Berry-National Post Let's be honest -- harmless it may be, but bad it most certainly is. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) No one looks more lost in the movie than Washington, its biggest right-this-moment star. Michael Smith-Tulsa World Formulaically funny, utterly familiar, fish-out-of-water story with a few absurdly engaging comedic touches. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate A Tyler Perry in producer-name only, 'Peeples' is an uneven comedy with a few laughs and no surprises. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) Craig Robinson deserves better. So do Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier, and everyone else who stands before the camera in this clunker. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat Funny but formulaic comedy has some edgy content. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media Pleasant, if inane - helped along by a likable cast that's clearly having fun. Bilge Ebiri-Vulture Better than pretty much everything else associated with Tyler Perry, but that's still not saying much. A talented cast is wasted. Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium Surely it would have been easier to shoot in Perry's home base of Atlanta, but the significant New England location places the movie at the geographical heart of America's origin story... John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Passably endearing despite its sometimes pronounced shortcomings. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide Given the quality of the cast,...this highly uneven, ill-constructed comedy is a disappointment. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Robinson and Washington make a likable couple, and it's nice to see her playing comedy for a change. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks In a comedic rite of passage-meeting the folks-complicated by class barriers, Craig Robinson flails around in Peeples. Sometimes it produces laughs. Marsha McCreadie-Film Journal International Has promise and a few talented comedians in its cast to make the material ring bells of hilarity, yet it's burdened by a filmmaker who's not seasoned enough to ride waves of absurdity.
