Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys (2008)

Tyler Perry's film's are sometimes interesting for the bizarre mis-mash of genera types they contain, 'The Family that Preys' is part Christian movie, part soap opera, and part buddy road trip comedy, and while here it works probably better then it should, it still doesn't really work. There is no Madea in this one, but Perry is still that rareish filmmaker who writes prominent parts for women over 50, in this case Kathy Bates and Alfie Woodword, my mom had long wanted me to see this. *1/2
