Peeples is a 2013 American comedy film written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism. It stars Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington[2] and was released by Lionsgate on May 10, 2013.[3] Despite being billed as a Tyler Perry film, it is the only movie that he has produced, but did not write or direct. The Peeples are an affluent East Coast family celebrating their annual Moby Dick Day reunion at Sag Harbor in the Hamptons. The weekend is interrupted when Wade Walker (Robinson), the fiancé of Grace Peeples (Washington), shows up to propose after being goaded by his brother, Chris (Malcolm Barrett). Upon arrival, Wade loses his wallet while being chased by the family dog. At the grocery store, he sees Grace’s father Virgil (David Allen Grier), a judge, talking to a woman later revealed to be the mayor. He also sees Grace’s sister, Gloria (Hawk), with her lover, Meg (Lewis-Davis), who is not known to the family. Wade learns more about Grace, including about her ex-boyfriends, breast implants, and mother. Grace’s mother, Daphne (S. Epatha Merkerson), is a former singer and recovering alcoholic. Wade attempts to propose at dinner, asking everyone to say what they love about the people in their lives. This ends abruptly when Virgil says he had to pay for Wade at the store.
