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 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.

    TYLER HAD TO MAKE THE WHITE FAMILY THE WEALTHY FAMILY BECAUSE HE IS TRYING TO APPEAL TO WHITE AUDIENCES HE HAS NO BACKBONE BUT THE PLOT SOUNDS DAMN GOOD I MIGHT GO WATCH IT!

  1. Tracy Says:

    The storyline sounds very intriguing. I am a die hard TP fan so I will be on the front row. I am glad that he is appealing to all races. He has fans of all ethnic groups and it is nice for him to bring that to the big screen. That doesn't make him without a backbone, he is just trying to go mainstream, and I am not mad at him. Make that money, TP. Keep doing you. I am thankful for writers like Tyler Perry.

  1. karisma Says:

    it hink this moviw will be very exciting and i like that it has all races in the movie

  1. Dana Says:

    It has nothing to do with him not having a back bone. Tyler perry is awesome he's got fans of all races and if he wants to make the white family rich so be it. He don't have to show people that the black family can be rich, it's out there other races know that black people have money too.

  1. Erika82 Says:

    Tyler Perry always has life lessons incorporated into his films, which i really appreiciate. It looks like Family that Preys is a heartfelt dramedy where families become divided and friendships are tested amongst extramarital affairs, unethical business practices, and dark paternity secrets that threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved.
    In theaters September 12th, 2008. For more info, visit: http://familythatpreysmovie.com/

    Tyler Perry will be watched by everyone with this new movie. Im so proud of him for having a white family in his movie. I think this is going to open up doors for him so that he can reach EVERYONE * who wants to hear* with his messages of Love, Forgiveness, and Faith in God. Im very excited to see whats in store for one of my favorite people.

    Way to go Tyler!!!!!!!!!

  1. Patrice Says:

    After reviewing the trailer for the upcoming movie, I'm very excited about the up and coming movie.

  1. Gunther Says:

    Ho Boy!
    Another TP piece of crap.
    The man knows nothing of character development and doesn't care to know.
    Which hurts the audience because boy from these responses, we got some serious learning to do. Anyone who loves Tyler Perry and his films knows nothing of history, but hey that is America and not just black folks.

  1. JT Says:

    Hey Gunther, are you a writer? What type of experience do you have in flim? Please let me know your background in this area then I might respect your opinion.

  1. tonya Says:

    I saw this last night and it was THE BOMB!!!!!!!! TP has outdone himself and in my opinion, this is the best one yet. I want to see it again. And I'll PAY to see it again. It will have you rollin', it will piss you off, it will make you CHEER and yell at the screen. And that Sanaa Lathan played the hell out of this part. She rocked it. Heck, they all did. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!! Go head on, Tyler!

    All TP movies are interactive experiences and this was no exception.

  1. NC Says:

    its kind of disturbing to see how, once again, a white man is wedged between a black man and his black woman...this type of propaganda is everywhere now...commercials...tv shows...news paper ads...everywhere...TP is a writing genius...and i want to give him the benefit of the doubt...but this one looks pretty bad...ill have to see where he goes with this...

  1. totalpraz Says:

    if you were paying attention. the storyline is about a long term relationship between two women, of two diverse cultures who met when their lives were in tragedy (so they think). but they found more in common than different (about life). Tylers film had nothing to do with drawing white audiences. Money, fame, power, race could never diminish the reality of life issues. ISSUES everyone has them.

  1. breezez Says:

    I sas the movie this weekend also. It was again well done and tastefull Stars to Tyler P

    I want to know the name of the sond that was played at the end of the movie. I sounds lsomewhat ike Gladys Knight singing, " ...given the choice...I hope you choose to dance". It would be nice to know if the sound track has been released.

  1. Billy Vezertzis Says:

    This is not a movie that is about being black or white about true friendship and remember the black (best friend) saves the day when the son is trying to retire the white mother, and who was there for the mother in her last days, her
    (Black ) best friend. I have seen it twice and I think it was great, and I am white, but that kind of love and true friendship shows no color.

    Tyler Perry is one of the best filmmakers out there today , you can be crying one minute and laughing you head off the next.

  1. Travis Tucker Says:

    This was the best movie Tyler Perry has put out to date....For the ones commenting about how he had to make the white family rich....oh well...so what...it happens white people can be rich...the white people have been being rich since and before the color purple so GET OVER IT...but if you would take the time to watch the movie you would see that the black family was RICH AS WELL....HEY GO FIGURE....WHAT THE POOR BLACK MOTHER WAS A MILLIONAIRE AFTER ALL....BASICALLY LONG STORY SHORT GIVE THE MAN HIS PROPS...HE IS GOOD....GO SEE THE DAMN MOVIE...

  1. PATRICIA BARNETT Says:

    The movie was great! Tyler is doing a great job of building his reputation for all audiences no matter what color they are. Racism has no place in the business all the money is green. Go Tyler!

  1. Bonny Isobell Says:

    I cant wait to see this movie.I am fascinated by Tyler Perry. His movies touches so many aspects of daily living and I am in awe of his understanding of relationships and the Christian principles always present. Tyler Perry truly motivates me. All the way from SA -Mr Perry you Rock
