Tyler Perry's movie drama "The family that preys" represents the story of two families that eventually are forced by circumstances to work together and to get along, regardless of the discrepancies that exist in their life style, mentality, and dreams.

The story line is relatively complex in the sense that there are numerous events that take place throughout the film, from marriage, to drama, from happy moments to sad ones. From this point-of-view, the story and the plot itself resembles the complexity of everyday life, with all intricate affairs and developments that usually do take place in people's lives. An aspect however that may seem somewhat unrealistic relates to the way in which paths cross between the two families. In every day life, and especially given today's circumstances, there are not many occasions in which someone may organize and host a wedding for someone else from outside one's family as in the case of Charlotte Cartwright when she organized the wedding for her best friend's daughter Andreea. In fact, this is the starting point of the film and the triggering moment for the eventual plot. As a result of such circumstances, Andrea and William meet and the connection between the two is obvious and will lead to complications along the film.

These types of actions however are rather common in everyday life in the sense that in fact life is a series of coincidences and of favors and exchanges of kind actions. The fact that Andrea is hired by William triggers a series of events that would lead Andrea to end up despising her own husband, cheat him and interfere in William's marriage as well. These events in chain are very plausible from the point-of-view of cause and effect and determine the development of a believable story line.

The action is relatively well rounded in the sense that it focuses on all the aspects that are important for the development of the plot. The story takes into account both families and the actions and reactions that affect every member of the plot in turn. In this sense, the action follows the story of the Cartwrights on generations, mother and son, with distinct focus on the inner feelings of the mother on the one hand, and the drama the son, William is going through both with Andrea and with his wife who eventually suspects him of cheating. At the same time, the plot is constructed in such a manner that it allows the story to fully follow the developments of the relation between Andrea and Ben, her husband, both in their marriage and in their intimate relation as human beings. From this point-of-view the action is complete and takes into account the development of all the characters involved.

The complexity of the story line as well as the artistic performance of the characters manages to keep the interest of the audience. It must be pointed out that the audience for this type of story is specific in the sense that the producers of the film take into consideration a segment of the general audience that is familiar with this genre of artistic creation. In effect, given all elements, the film is a drama in its purest sense. Therefore, the targeted audience is the melodrama lovers spectators. With due consideration for this fact, the plot is complex and at the same time sufficiently intriguing for the targeted audience. The characters are depicted in such a manner that it ensures the attention of the audience through their tragic moments in certain parts and the racial insertions and class leveling rhetoric in other parts.
