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

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
