Deliver Us from Eva

I like this movie even if it is a bit on the "hoaky" side.This video is a really good romance ad both Gabrielle and LL did a great job together. It's funny, sexy, sweet and clever. Most of all, it's just fun to watch.Basically, "Eva" (Gabrielle) is an over-protective big sister who has become a man-eater in order to keep men at a distance. She'd been hurt years before by a man who wanted her to choose him over her sisters, so she chose her sisters (who she was raising). Her sisters are all in good relationships now, but Eva is still protecting them from being hurt regardless.The men who love Eva's sisters can't take Eva's involvement in their lives anymore, so they pay a Player ("Ray" played by LL) to date her, make her happy, keep her away from her sisters, and then dump her. Ray goes for it, but then ends up falling for her.What I really like about this story is how Ray and Eva soften around each other. Their characters grow because of each other, and those kinds of movies are rare to find.Plus, it's just really funny.So, if you want a sweet, romantic comedy to watch, I highly recommend this one.

The movie "Deliver Us From Eva" has a very good cast including Gabrielle Union, LL Cool J, Duane Martin, Essence Atkins and others. The plot is pretty straight forward as some men involved in relationships need to have Evageline Dandridge out of their way so that their relationships can progress without her heavy duty controlling of her sister's lives. Eva has strong opinions about men and never hesitates to voice these opinions much to the chagrin of the men and the women involved. The men come up with the idea of getting someone to date Eva to take her mind off of their and their women's lives. Enter LL Cool J who is basically a playboy who loves women and leaves them. It should be noted that Eva controls the purse strings of a trust so the sisters are sort of under her control.Naturally in this case, the LL Cool J character, Raymond, falls for Eva in a big way and cannot dump her which was the plan. When she moves to Chicago from LA for a new job, he even pursues her to tell her he actually does love her. They ride off into the sunset in Chicago together.The unfortunate part of the film is the fake funeral that the men plan after kidnapping Ray and keeping him tied up in an abandoned warehouse because they believe that he has double crossed them by not dumping Eva as was the original deal.This part of the movie keeps the movie from being better than it is. Therefore, I would say that seventy five per cent of the movie is fine but twenty five per cent of it is very weak. Oh well, you cannot have everything.There are no surprises in the movie and everything that happens is pretty much predictable. The cast is fine and very good looking, the script is okay except for the aforementioned funeral scene. All in all, I liked the movie and a lot of people will enjoy it. It is what it is, a romantic comedy featuring a mostly Black cast. Not nearly as good as "The Best Man" but worth the time and money to watch and enjoy.

I really enjoyed this movie. I have been looking for this DVD widescreen edition for a long time. It is very entertaining. Nice refreshing story! There have not been many African American romantic comedies lately. I hope there will be more produced. Lately there are more drama type films. Deliver us from Eva is a funny love story. I really enjoyed this movie. Great movie for date night or Valentine's day. It was also a great price.

I'm 27 now which means I've watched this movie at different points in my life- teenage years, young adult, and now adult-adult. It's an absolute gem and only gets better with time.

My mom loves this movie.

I love this movie. The quality was great. It just sucks that the timeline to watch the movie was only 24 hours from pressing play. I should be able to watch it as many times as I want, for the allotted renting time.

Must watch movie. Hilarious but turns out to be a sweet love story. Shipped fast.

Very funny!
