The Philadelphia Inquirer called it a "lightweight, likable buppie romantic comedy." One can't help resist saying it delivers the goods." Kevin Thomas from The Los Angeles Times said that the film "flows smoothly, looks great and probably cost lots less than it looks. Variety magazine stated that LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union "bring out the best in each other, especially (and surprisingly) during the more dramatic emotional interludes." Marc Savlov from the Austin Chronicle wrote: ' The fact that there's little new in the roundabout urban updating of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew detracts not a whit from its charms, most of which come from leads LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union." Overall, it grossed $17,573,954 worldwide. "Deliver Us from Eva" grossed $7,100,000 during its opening weekend.

Gabrielle Union as Evangeline "Eva" Dandrige.

So while I liked the film, I also thought it had some major problems.The film follows three women who pay a man named Ray to date their bossy sister, Eva in order to get her to stop interferring in their lives. Before that the film had a problem deciding whether or not it was really a comedy, but then this just got ridiculous. But the big letdown for me was the scene where the husbands/bf kidnap LL and stage a fake funeral. So there's a continuity problem with Union's character. One problem is that pitchy people don't suddenly become nice just because they're in love.

And so, the husbands/boyfriend plot to get Union out of their hair by hiring the suave LL to romance her off her feet and out of their lives. Overall, its' a good premise - Union is the pitchy oldest sister who is somewhat controlling of her sisters' lives.and of their husbands and boyfriends. Royale Watkins is interesting as a gay hair dresser. Mel Jackson is good as one of the husbands, while Dartanyan Edmonds had a rather short career which pretty much ended after this film.and rightfully so.

Essence Atkins, Robinne Lee, and Meagan Good.

The ladies who play the sisters of Union did not particularly impress me, although they did their jobs. I enjoyed him here not sure why he has not been more successful. Her acting is fine, although there are issues with character continuity.but that's the fault of the writers and director.ĭuane Martin is very good as the boyfriend of one of Union's sisters. I have long thought that not only is Gabrielle Union a really good actress, but also one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. There's a lot to enjoy here, but ultimately one serious error prevents me from giving a rating of "7".Īlthough he's not a particularly great actor, it's hard not to enjoy LL Cool J, who here plays 'Ray', a blue collar worker who thinks of himself as a playa, but then actually falls in love.
