"It's the same old dance, only now it involves slapping around women...sickening and completely irresponsible."

"Perry may not be dealing with race issues, but he still writes everything in black-and-white."

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."

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'."
