Watch Peeples For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

Crappy film

Beautiful, moving film.

Watching Peeples turned out to be a pleasant way to pass time while I'm away from home on an extended business trip. I remember seeing the Peeples trailers on TV and online last year, but I forgot about the movie until I browsed on Netflix. Granted, the movie definitely isn't Oscar material, but it's definitely a fun movie to watch. There have been movies I've viewed that made me regret I wasted my time watching them and left me feeling upset because I couldn't get that 90 or 120 minutes back. Peeples isn't one of those movies. Peeples is a movie that is relaxing to watch. You won't burn too much white matter viewing the movie, but it makes one think about pretentiousness and 'rich people's problems' can be. Don't go in with seriousness when you watch this movie. It's lighthearted with the feathery touches on love, humor, priorities, family, acceptance and life choices. I didn't know Tyler Perry made the movie until I viewed the credits. It didn't make a difference, but it surprised me that he made it. He's definitely changing up his movie- making style or at least adding to it. I enjoyed the movie. I'll watch it again with my family on movie night. It's kind of cute how Kerry Washington claps her hands in happiness in Peeples like she did in Django. David Allen Grier made for a very unlikely patriarch, but he pulled it off nicely due to the nice chemistry with S. Epatha Merkerson and the other cast members who made up the family and his conflicts with Craig Robinson. I liked the entire cast. I hope Tyler Perry makes a Peeples II. He can polish it up a bit for the naysayers or leave it 'as is' for a nice continuation, but I fell in love with the Peeples clan. They truly have room to develop as characters on screen. It would be interesting to see what Tyler Perry comes up with in the sequel. I'm going to buy a ticket to go to the movie theater if he brings the lovable clan back to life in a sequel, though.

"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.

"We're not the chocolate Kennedys." Wade Walker (Robinson) is in love with Grace Peeples (Washington) and is getting ready to propose. Grace leaves for the weekend to visit her family without inviting Wade. After talking to his brother Wade gets up the courage to surprise her at her family's cabin. When he shows up things don't go as planned and he begins to question if this is a family he wants to be a part of. First off I have to say I'm not racist. That said if Tyler Perry's name is on a movie I tend to avoid it. Even though this is just a "Tyler Perry Presents" it was enough to lower my expectations. I'm not sure if it was the low expectations or not but I ended up really enjoying this and laughing the whole way through. Robinson is very funny and David Allen Grier has some really funny scenes in this. It's a good thing the comedy was there though because the movie is so generic and overdone that the laughs are the only thing that made it interesting. After 5 minutes you can pretty much tell exactly what is going to happen. Overall, a funny movie that was much, much better then I was expecting. I surprisingly give it a B+.

. . . 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).
