Average Rating:6.6/10

Consensus: Though Union and LL Cool J are appealing romantic leads, Deliver Us From Eva is too predictable and contrived.

Runtime: 1 hr 46 mins

Genre: Comedies

Hardened by her parents' deaths, Eva Dandridge (Gabrielle Union, BRING IT ON) gives up her childhood dreams of horse training to provide for her three sisters in contemporary Los Angeles. The Dandridge sisters honor and obey Eva's every decision, often at the expense of their self-interested men. Fed up, the three men conspire to rid themselves of Eva once and for all, to restore order to their relationships and enact a little bit of revenge upon their enemy. They hatch a plan to unleash the ultimate player on Eva, Ray Adams (LL Cool J). A loner for life, Ray agrees to date Eva and then dump her, mostly for the challenge, but also for the money his pals promise to pay him for the deed. What he doesn't expect is to fall madly in love with the difficult, often-humiliating Eva, and the plot spirals when Eva herself falls for Ray but is offered a lucrative job in Chicago. A couple of raunchy beauticians round out the cast and provide a number of the laughs in this movie that tests the bonds between sisters, friends, lovers, and anything else that comes between.

[Smith] and Union bring out the best in each other, especially (and surprisingly) during the more dramatic emotional interludes.

It proceeds so deliberately from one plot point to the next that we want to stand next to the camera, holding up cards upon which we have lettered clues and suggestions.

Flows smoothly, looks great and probably cost lots less than it looks.

The movie, whose subsidiary characters remain vague, is carried by the sharp comic performance of Ms. Union, a quick-witted actress who succeeds in imbuing Eva's priggishness and arrogance with a certain nobility.
