Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright and her dear friend Alice Pratt, a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Alice’s self-centered newlywed daughter Andrea is betraying her trusting husband Chris by engaging in a torrid affair with her boss and mother’s best friend’s son William. While cheating on his wife Jillian with a string of ongoing dalliances with his mistress Andrea, William’s true focus is to replace the COO of his mother’s lucrative construction corporation. Meanwhile, Alice’s other daughter Pam, a kind but no nonsense woman married to a hard working construction worker, tries to steer the family in a more positive direction. (Lionsgate)

I loved the entire life lesson that this movie brought out. I really felt like I learned from it. Real life aspects were brought out in this movie. It did not have a perfect happy ending for every one but then again, life does not always have a perfect happy ending. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!
Deniece F. gave it a10:

Pat E. gave it a10:
Do yourself a favor and forget the two negative reviews that were left. The other 34 reviewers have their heads on straight. Now back to it...This movie was very good, sure it isn't anything new, but well executed and well acted by tyler perry and the rest of the cast. Any fan of Tyler Perry will enjoy this one unless you were expecting it to be a religious flick.
Jay H. gave it a3:
Yet more Tyler Perry far fetched melodramatics, nice acting but the screenplay is completely unconvincing. Poor direction, fair score. Unmemorable and pointless.
Charles W. gave it a1:
I was between watching the family that preys or high school musical 3 but i decided to watch the family that preys with my homies intead of HSM 3 with my girl and i really got bored in this movie so without the movie staff noticing i changed to the HSM 3 screen and enjoyed a great movie. Dont watch this movie. It is not worth it if you dont like senseless movies.
