Editorial Review:
WEALTHY SOCIALITE CHARLOTTE & HER DEAR FRIEND ALICE, A WORKING CLASS WOMAN OF HIGH IDEALS, HAVE ENJOYED A LASTING FRIENDSHIP THROUGHOUT MANY YEARS. SUDDENLY, THEIR LIVES BECOME MIRED IN TURMOIL AS THEIR ADULT CHILDREN'S EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS & UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES THREATEN TO DERAIL ALL THEIR LIVES.

Description of Family That Preys (Full Screen Edition):
Academy Award®-winner Kathy Bates (Lead Actress, Misery, 1990) and Academy Award®-nominee Alfre Woodard (Supporting Actress, Cross Creek, 1983) star as the matriarchs of two very different families being torn apart by greed and scandal in the contemporary drama Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys. The sixth feature film by Perry chronicles the inner workings of two families—one upper-crust and the other working class—that become inextricably linked by scandal. Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright (Kathy Bates) and her dear friend Alice Pratt (Alfre Woodard), a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Alice’s self-centered newlywed daughter Andrea (Sanaa Lathan) is betraying her trusting husband Chris (Rockmond Dunbar) by engaging in a torrid affair with her boss and mother’s best friend’s son William (Cole Hauser). While cheating on his wife Jillian (KaDee Strickland) with a string of ongoing dalliances with his mistress Andrea, William’s true focus is to replace the COO of his mother’s lucrative construction corporation. Meanwhile, Alice’s other daughter Pam (Taraji P. Henson), a kind but no nonsense woman married to a hard working construction worker (Tyler Perry), tries to steer the family in a more positive direction. While paternity secrets, marital infidelity, greed and unsavory business dealings threaten to derail both families, Charlotte and Alice decide to take a breather from it all by making a cross-country road trip in which they rediscover themselves and possibly find a way to save their families from ruin in Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys.

Family That Preys
2009-12-10 - I have all of Tyler Perry's movies and plays, and I think this movie will be very entertaining. No one does it better but Tyler Perry.

Family That Preys
2009-11-17 - The movie was just fine, there were no problems with the product and the movie quality was just fine.

The Family That Preys
2009-11-17 - Tyler Perry has created another great movie in the Family that Preys. All star cast that is wonderfully acted and a story that is so deep with a lot of everyday emotions that some of go through.

A nice departure
2009-10-28 - In my opinion, this is the best Tyler Perry work to-date. It is a departure from his "Madea" character-driven plays/movies, and has some rather heavy-hitters in the starring roles. This one makes you think and feel about serious issues, and not just find escape from them through laughter. Good work.

The Family That Preys
2009-10-05 - This was Tyler Perry's best movie. Kathy Bates and Alfrey Woodard were great !!
