Leave your thoughts about Peeples.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe slapstick is often clunky, but Robinson has a sweet jester’s disposition that keeps many of the gags from collapsing. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIf Peeples had more bite, it might pass for an underhanded critique of its producer’s work. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesOdie HendersonChism's cast is game for her shenanigans, and the biggest pleasure of "Peeples" is watching them cut loose under her direction. This movie has one hell of a cast. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThe movie's clichés would be more acceptable if the characters were better drawn, but there's not a memorable one in the bunch. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsModest in aspiration, Peeples is by no means a must-see movie, but it's awfully charming all the same. |
| Film.comLaremy LegelPeeples saves itself from a complete belly flop, by the barest of margins, by leaning heavily on its initial strength of good-natured charm. |
| leonardmaltin.comLeonard MaltinRobinson and Washington make a likable couple, and it's nice to see her playing comedy for a change. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe humor is often crude and silly, but it is so good-hearted and the performers are so appealing that it might win your heart. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanDirector Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenAn infectious, warm comedy of family and communication and a promising debut as writer-director for Chism. These Peeples are people one should be happy to meet. |
