Eva has been in charge of her younger sisters ever since their parents died, many years ago. Eva's uncanny ability to interfere in her sisters' affairs has not endeared her to their spouses and partners. The men would like to close out and divide up the family trust fund that Eva oversees. So they concoct a simple plan: compensate cash strapped ladies' man Ray Adams (LL Cool J) to romance and distract Eva from her familial duties. Sparks fly between Ray and Eva ... but the plan goes awry.

Critics Consensus

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

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

1.5/5

While the premise of the director's follow-up ... is promising, he botches the execution at every turn, leaving his cast to drift aimlessly among half-baked plot points.

The simplistic approach to the material will no doubt please undiscriminating viewers, while those who've seen any romantic comedy will be consistently several steps ahead of the characters.

Total ROT-In real life no man even TALKS to a woman this nasty, except at the DMV. (Poor Dwayne Wade)

Not a bad movie. Reminded me a lot of 10 Things I Hate About You though. It was okay until the brothers-in-law literally kidnap LL Cool J and don't get arrested for it! Wtf.
