Review of Peeples

It was nice to see Craig Robinson starring in his own film. He's a rather awkward but very likable like a teddy bear comedian. even though this film was only produced by Tyler Perry it has Tyler Perry written all over it especially and the opening scene which has Craig singing a song about urine to A class of kids and they're into it like if it was a gospel Revival! very weird and not funny at all. there is another scene where Craig goes basically almost into drag by becoming a disco Diva Queen and singing a a very nice song! here he's cast as a child psychologist who writes songs to reach children with emotional problems since Craig is a real life piano player he is perfect casting for that. What I didn't like about his character is that he is so sprung on his girlfriend that he completely evades the reality of her. She lied to him on many levels as he discovers little by little who she truly is yet he continues to be in love with her I don't understand especially when he finds out she used to like to date very mature older men when she was younger. He actually runs into one of her ex boyfriends at the local store and the way the X describes her when they were dating would have been enough for me to just forget about marrying her and getting the hell out of there and go home. In the way that he really just doesn't stand up to to her father the honorable Judge really gets on my nerves. And another thing that got on my nerves was that every time he was getting ready to propose to her something would always interfere and interrupt the moment that just started getting old. The wonderful and beautiful Kerry Washington plays his girlfriend. while her character gets on my nerves big time. that just shows the talent of Kerry portraying a daddy's spoiled little privileged princess. The fact that she didn't even tell her family about Craig made her very despicable to me so I had no feelings for her whatsoever so when the scene came out where she dresses as a little girl wearing her old uniform from back when she used to go to school did nothing for me I don't know how Craig fell for that but since Craig playing a person that is sprung like hell that would explain it. David Alan Grier what can I say about this wonderful funny actor. Here he is perfectly cast as Washington's federal judge father. Greer is not that old and real life but sense in real life he is prematurely he can look the part of an old man. S. Apathy Merkerson: what a treat to see this actress I hadn't seen her since Terminator 2 Judgment Day where she played mrs. Dyson! Here she is perfectly cast as Washington's mother who used to be a disco Diva Queen was now an alcoholic and drugs. Tyler James Williams: nice to see everybody Hates Chris and Walking Dead Noah as Washington's little kleptomaniac brother he doesn't really have much to do but he's such a likeable character you don't mind him being in the background really not adding or subtracting to anything. Kali Hawk: it was very nice to see this actress since I had never seen her in anything but a TV series called Black Jesus where I really felt she was miscast as a thug like girl on that show but here for some reason he's perfectly cast as Washington's whitewashed lesbian sister! Go figure hahaha she really has nothing to do except to look pretty in the background but she is a sight to see so that's okay. and last but not least what better way to have a actor what the name Peeples in it!? well Melvin Van Peebles is as close as you're going to get haha Melvin along with Diahann Carroll as Washington's grandparents is a treat and deed they are perfectly cast and there's a few little scene they shine but that's no surprise coming from these two very talented entertainers
