Deliver us from eva movie soundtrack movie#

If any of the characters were guilty of these things (minus homicide), it was the guys, but she was villainized over them. Eva wasn't homicidal, deceitful or malicious, but she was 'evil' the males needed 'deliverance' from. In the very least, some situations-like parts of this film's plot-just didn't sit well with me. I'd question 'default' attitudes, standards and archetypes. I say this because, from a young age, I'd detect ridiculous biases. I always joke I came out of the womb a feminist. I was the only girl who actually had admiration for Eva, and thought the four horsemen didn't deserve forgiveness.

I saw this movie for the first time at a teenage slumber party. Ray exposes the entire scam and chases Eva until she forgives him. When he ends up liking her and she passes on an out-of-state job promotion, the fellas stage his death. His task is 'not just to distract her, but make her fall hard,' and get her to relocate with him.

That someone is Ray (LL Cool J), a rolling-stone playboy. The men resolve to pay someone to sweep Eva off her feet. Jacqui's spouse, Darrell (Dartanyan Edmonds), isn't happy she spends so much time on her college studies. Bethany's boyfriend, Mike (Duane Martin), wants to move in and get his hands on the fund. Kareenah's husband, Tim (Mel Jackson), has baby fever.

This is to the exasperation of their respective mates, who feel her opinions and advice block their personal desires. Her siblings naturally look up to her, but they extensively hang on her every word. To stay afloat and start 'The Dandridge Fund,' Eva dropped her horse-training dreams for more practical work as a restaurant health inspector. She cut her teeth at this raising her younger sisters: Kareenah (Essence Atkins), Bethany (Robinne Lee) and Jacqui (Meagan Good). Eva is a no-nonsense natural born leader. Her quirky facial expressions, bodily twitches and pronounced delivery of the rapid-fire script brought the eccentric and hyper-intelligent Evangeline Dandridge to life. Union was spectacularly brilliant in the title role.

It was funny, entertaining, and had a bomb R&B soundtrack. 15 years ago this month, Focus Features released Deliver Us from Eva, a film about 3 guys who try to wrangle their overbearing sister-in-law (Gabrielle Union).
