2.5/5
"To call The Family That Preys a transitional effort would be accurate and fair"  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

D-
"It's the same old dance, only now it involves slapping around women...sickening and completely irresponsible."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

C+
"Perry may not be dealing with race issues, but he still writes everything in black-and-white."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"Overstuffed and self-indulgent...The Family That Preys is nothing more than a busy-minded, shifty soap opera propelled by its empty-minded sense of indignation."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

1.5/5
"To say that the plot is laboriously constructed is an understatement. The first hour is interminable, filled with dead air that suggests Perry the director was asleep at the switch."  Boxoffice Magazine  John P. McCarthy

B+
"It has Tyler Perry's trademark trio: sincerity, spirituality, and story. And if he passes on that other "s" -- subtlety -- that's all right."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

"Religion is important to these characters but the presence of Christianity itself is practically incidental."  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

3/4
"A bit slow paced, Perry nevertheless, has proven once again how good of a storyteller he is with 'The Family That Preys'."  BlackFilm.com  Wilson Morales
