Peeples

[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.

Pleasant, if inane - helped along by a likable cast that's clearly having fun.

Saves itself from a complete belly flop by its good-natured charm.

Writer-director Tina Gordon Chism implies that people should accept each other for who they are, but with no genuine insight to back up this moral, it feels hollow.

The slapstick is often clunky, but Robinson has a sweet jester's disposition that keeps many of the gags from collapsing.

Robinson and Washington make a likable couple, and it's nice to see her playing comedy for a change.

Robinson is incredibly charming in this and David Allen Grier is a hoot.

A strong debut effort such as this one deserves a chance to shine, and it'll be awesome to see what projects come Tina Gordon Chism's way after this promising debut effort.

Modest in aspiration, Peeples is by no means a must-see movie, but it's awfully charming all the same.

nothing is delved into deeper than is necessary to get to the next gag
