If only the third act didn't revolve around a plot contrivance that the characters would need to take idiot pills to believe, Deliver Us From Eva might be better than just a good addition to its genre. Tired of their sister-in-law's meddling, three men hire a renowned charmer to romance her to distraction. (And if you stay through the credits, there's a revelation about one of these characters that undercuts Hardwick's apparent enlightenment). The film recognizes what works in other films, perhaps to a fault - it goes outside its basic relationship structure to cop a few vicarious good vibes from Barbershop, as the sisters meet in a salon and interact with its eccentric denizens for no real plot reason. What keeps the film basically subtle is that it illustrates the characters' various stumbling blocks without resorting to ridiculous set pieces or insulting caricatures.

Hardwick also oversees a winning rapport between Union and LL Cool J, whose own less-than-ideal character - a mercenary player - indicates Hardwick's interest in seeing both genders get their comeuppance. Her sisters significant others, tired of their lives being dictated by Eva, decide to hire Ray (LL Cool J), a noted ladies. Three young men pay a player named Ray to romance Eva, their girlfriends beautiful but bossy older sister.More. After their parents untimely death, Eva took on the role of the surrogate mother and since then has become an overpowering influence in their lives. But at least there's a warm comedic core to Gabrielle Union's portrayal of the uncompromising health inspector, which features some great facial expressions and sharp-tongued rants, and Hardwick makes sure he eventually reveals the reasons behind her rigidity. Deliver Us from Eva ВЅ 2003 (R)Eva (Union) is the overbearing, self-righteous eldest of the four Dandridge sisters. Writer/director Gary Hardwick does revisit some of the mild misogyny of his debut, The Brothers, in the person of Eva Dandridge, a domineering shrew who makes life hell for the boyfriends/husbands of her three sisters.

More than just a clever title, the intelligent Deliver Us From Eva delivers the goods for those in search of an African-American relationship comedy.
