We Are The Peeples

I don't know about you, but there's also someone like one of these characters in my own family. I attended a special screening of Peeples before it was released in theaters. It is one of the funniest movies I think I have ever seen. But it wasn't funny in a slack stick way. It was clever and intelligent humor. The movie was so funny in fact, that I know that I may have missed something funny because I was still laughing at the last funny line said by one of the characters. I spoke briefly with others who attended the same screening and they were already planning when they would see it again and who they would take to see it with them. David Alan Grier was in rare form showing different degrees of a character that some wouldn't expect him to play. It was very pleasant to see Craig Robinson graduate from playing the "sidekick" to playing a leading role opposite actors who are as talented as the remainder of this all star cast.
