I am a huge fan of Tyler Perry's films. The first one I saw was "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," and it was a terrific movie. "The Family that Preys" was much more serious in nature, mainly due to the absence of Madea's crazy character. Nevertheless, it was a pretty good movie. The film follows two families, a white upper class family led by Kathy Bates and an African-American family led by Alfre Woodard. Both matriarchs are struggling with their adult children, and their lives have become even more intertwined then they would ever have imagined. Even though the two women seem opposite in nature, they have been friends for over 30 years. There are several sad moments throughout the film, and you genuinely despise a few of the characters, but in the end, the good characters triumph. I would give this film 3 ½ out of 5 stars.
