When Grace leaves for a gathering at her parents' swanky compound, he hatches a plan to crash the assemblage, charm her folks, and slip a ring on her finger.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Peeples is a warm, amiable farce that offers a few chuckles but mostly falls back on predictable plotting and an overwrought message.

Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle [Writer/director Tina Gordon Chism is ] good at low-key, observational humor, and the all-around excellent cast swings with aplomb from silly to sweet.

Audience Member Film Review Title: A Slapstick Comedy Classic Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) This film is a delightful journey back to a time when slapstick comedy ruled the silver screen. With its generous doses of humour and dance numbers, it proves to be a thoroughly entertaining watch that caters to audiences both young and old. The film brilliantly combines the elements of comedy with dance, creating a rhythmic flow that keeps viewers engaged throughout its runtime. The slapstick humour is well-timed and unabashedly amusing, bringing out loud laughs and smiles. This feature is particularly admirable, given the film's ability to evoke joyous laughter without resorting to crude or vulgar jokes—a testament to its classic and timeless appeal. What stands out remarkably is seeing actors known for their serious roles, such as Kerry Washington, stepping out of their usual personas. Watching Washington in such a comedic light is both refreshing and hilarious, showcasing her range as an actress and adding an unexpected yet enjoyable twist to the film. The film's charm lies in its ability to evoke nostalgia. For those who recall watching it as children, revisiting it as adults offers a refreshing sense of familiarity coupled with newfound appreciation for its comedic genius. It's a testament to the film's enduring appeal that it captivates audiences across different generations. While some might critique the film for its reliance on slapstick, its execution is so artfully done that it transforms this potential flaw into a strength. The film doesn’t pretend to be more than what it is—a heartwarming comedy that does its job exceptionally well. In conclusion, this film is a good-natured comedy that earns its place as a classic. It is highly recommended for those who enjoy a good laugh and appreciate the art of slapstick. Despite its simplistic premise, the film succeeds in delivering a delightful cinematic experience that leaves audiences both entertained and nostalgic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review alan g Should have left the movie and Craig Robberson buried in the sand. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review erdene c It's amazing how a young couple overcomes the difficulties they face with the power of love Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Bahad j I am very happy that the movie shows us the steps and choices that are necessary in the life of a great person. I like the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Uynga U watch with your family Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Audience Member I found this movie surprisingly entertaining. I loved the Long Island scenery, too! I think movies about the girl introducing her new man to her parents are amusing. The revelation of the family secrets is typical, like the gay daughter being afraid to come out to her family but, the movie is still funny. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
