Summary: Very good most of the way, but falls flat at the end
Review: "Deliver Us From Eva" is an amusing comedy about a family of sisters, and the men who they are with. Two of the sister's are married, one has a boyfriend, and the other.....is Eva(Gabrielle Union). Eva is a hard nosed, don't take anything from anyone, especially men, person. Not only that, she basically controls the lives of her three sisters. This does not sit to well with their men. All the men really want is to get Eva out of their hair so they can live happily with their wives. It'll take a pro to do the job. That's where player Ray(LL Cool J) comes in.This is suprisingly a very amusing film. I went into the movie with rather low expectations. However, the film is very satisfying, except for the formulaic ending. One thing that works for the film, is they loveable, and attractive characters.
Everyone is likeable, and it's a joy to watch these people talk. The film and dialouge gets a little goofy in some spots, but all around the film is pretty funny. I found myself smiling alot, and chuckling as well. The performances are also good. Gabrielle Union plays Eva well, even though at times she tends to overact. LL Cool J also is good as Ray, and he has a certain charm about him that I've never really noticed before. At the end, things get a little crazy, and at times stupid, but the overall effect of the movie is positive. "Deliver Us From Eva" provides a good time, but not much more than that.

Summary: This Movie Was Good!
Review: "Deliver Us From Eva" was about Eva, the eldest of the four sisters who is overprotective and overbearing in her sisters' lives and loves, needed someone in her life. Despite the humor of this movie, the movie also shows that sistahs need love too; no matter what their attitude is. LL Cool J does a great performance as a romantic playa. My friend referred to this movie as a chick flick. But guys can relate to this movie just as much as women.

Summary: Hilarious and heart warming!
Review: 'Deliever Us From Eva' was a suprise hit, to say the least. I didn't watch it in theaters, nor did I rent it. It came on Cinemax last night and I found myself drawn into it. It suprised me that it didn't fall on it face. But suprise, LL Cool J (whom I can't really stand as an actor, nor a singer) didn't ruin the film and it turned out to be a success. The success of the film lies in Gabrielle Union (who plays Eva.) Her character plays a head strong liberal female who is a constant pain. She teaches everything she learns to her three sisters, who in turn, use all the advice on their men. After a while the three men finally find a way to get rid of Eva...set her up with a local player, (LL Cool J) Ray -- for the price of $5,000. Ray takes the challenge and soon after him and Eva are getting to know each other a little too well, and the three men can't stand the fact that Eva and Ray fall in love and both are giving her sister's advice, defeating the purpose of Ray and leading to the inevitable showdown. This film was a big suprise, it has both heart and laughter, a DVD that I will surely pick up very soon! Trust me, if you loved some of the romantic-comedy sleeper hits like 'Two Can Play That Game' and 'The Wood,' then don't miss out on 'Deliever Us From Eva.'

Summary: Liked It
Review: Alright,alright, so Gabrielle Union played this role a little over the top,especially when she directs the chior, but she did what she was paid to do, play a manhating,overprotective sister who overstepped her boundaries when the game was already over. Her sisters had grown up, they all did well and had decent husbands or men, it was time for her to move on. Now it is a shame when your own brothers in law got to pay top dollars to take their sister in law out of their hands. Nevertheless, I really thought the movie would have been a bit much, but I judged wrong. This was really a good picture. Though I felt that the guys went way and over beyond the hill here, but all in all,it was a good film.

Summary: I loved this movie!!
Review: Because Eva was such a "witch" to put it nicely. Gabrielle Union was excellent in this role as matriarch of the Dandridge family. She was more than domineering to her sisters and their husbands. I laughed when one of them got an enema. I never expected her to carry her work as an inspector into her personal relationships. One man was so damaged by her lethal tongue that he studdered when he spoke from then on. Poor Ray, (LL Cool J) wanted to give up after their first meeting, but even he saw something under that lethal exterior beating its way to the surface. I liked the way Eva got even with the man that hurt her so long ago. This part really made me laugh so hard other than the part where the enema took place. I think the hardest lesson for Eva was learning how to 'let go' of the control and pain she had over her sister's lives and those that they married. I would recommend this movie to every LL Cool J fan like myself.

Summary: A Pretty Good Movie...
Review: Deliver Us From Eva was an entertaining movie. I enjoy watching LL Cool J evolve as an actor. I thought the character Eva played by actress Gabrielle Union was a little over the top and unbelievable with her anger, but nevertheless I enjoy movies especially "semi-love stories" directed by Gary Hardwick. This movie debunks the myth that they are no good men. It was refreshing and I like the fact that all the men were involved in committed relationships and actually remained faithful. A great date flick.

Summary: Eva's Just like me!
Review: Eva's in people's business because she has no business of her own. I am the same way, however in my defense, a lot of people come to me for advice before I get into their business. This movie is good for a couple reasons, first my girl Gabby Union comes through representing like she always does in her little roles, but on top of that it shows the unity of sisters. I love that probably because i dont' have any sisters and I always missed that. But it was nice to see that love between the 4. My disappointment was at the end and when LL Cool J's body wasn't comin thru like it should on the little simi nude scene. What the hell was the gut about? disappointment. The end just was silly. How can everyone accept that they made it like he died. Who would just be cool with a fake funeral and all that? Someone would get murdered if it was me, but i guess that's just me. try the movie out though

Summary: It was an all right, comedy, romantic film
Review: Gabrielle Union and James Todd Smith give a good performance. Gabrielle plays the role when her parents died she took on the care and upbringing of her sisters. Her sisters are now grown, one is married, one is about to marry, and they still seek Gabrielle's sister's advice. Which can be over bearing and a bit too much for the sister's men.
James T. Smith accepts a bet and challenge that he can date and then get rid of Gabrielle Union (domineering and know it all sister), so the men can live normal lives.
Mr. Smith falls in love with Gabrielle and the movie takes on different turns. Finally, the couple re-examine, re-explore, their relationship and all options. I won't give this away, but they cross a road in their relationship.
What I did not like was a scene in which Gabrielle Union validates her one nighter as being, "I am a hoe." This send the wrong message. Men and women today, not all but many, are trying too hard at being equally players and hoes. This is self degrading, self disrespecting, and self destructive.
The movie, per se, was worth the view. It is also important for all (producers, directors, actors, actresses, and supporing) that they be very careful with what they say. There are many persons out there in TV Land who do buy into these images.
I didn't mind the "cutie pie complexes" too much; considering there are many women who have subscribed to this image making. But at times, I was suffocated with all the prettinesses, almost too prettiness in the women. Maybe that is why I found Gabrielle's role more appealing. She stood her ground on her own merits not just cuteness.
James T. Smith......, my hat goes out to you. He is an older man, more mature, and also looks like he is more directed....God bless.
