Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the beginning of the movie, which character is getting married?

Answer: Andrea

Andrea (played by Sanaa Lathan)is marrying Chris Bennett (Rockmond Dunbar of "Soul Food: The Series" fame). Andrea meets William at her wedding, and William offers Andrea and Chris jobs (since she's about to graduate with a Masters degree in Finance, and Chris has construction experience due to his time in the military).

Sanaa Lathan has been featured in movies such as "The Best Man" with Taye Diggs, and Morris Chestnut, "Blade" with Wesley Snipes, and "Out Of Time" with Denzel Washington.

"The Family That Preys" is also the 3rd movie where Sanaa Lathan and co-star Alfre Woodard portray mother and daughter. The other two movies are "Something New", and "Love & Basketball".
2. What actor plays William Cartwright, Charlotte's underhanded, conniving son?

Answer: Cole Hauser

Hauser's other credits include "K'Ville", "Pitch Black", and "2 Fast 2 Furious".
3. Andrea, and Pam get along with each other.

Answer: False

Pam and Andrea are sisters, but they're constantly fighting and bickering with each other, mostly due to Andrea's arrogance. Alice Evans (played by Alfre Woodard) is their mother, and owner of a diner called Wing And A Prayer.
4. What does Alice asks Charlotte when she drives up to take her to church?

Answer: "Where is Morgan Freeman?"

Alice says this to Charlotte when Charlotte comes to pick her up in her new Cadillac. This is an obvious reference to the movie "Driving Miss Daisy", where Morgan Freeman played Hoke Colburn, Miss Daisy's chauffer.
5. While at the bank, Chris discovers that Andrea has a bank account with almost $300,000.00 in the account. Who later confronts Andrea at Alice's diner?

Answer: Pam

Chris, and Ben go to the bank to see if they could get a loan to start their own construction company.

When Chris confronts Andrea about the money, she tells him that she gets bonuses at work. In truth, she is having an affair with William Cartwright, and Cartwright is the one who gave her all that money.

Pam finds out about the money from Ben, who accidently lets it slip out during a chess game. Pam confronts Andrea about the money at the Wing And A Prayer diner, which is owned by Alice.

Chris is so in love with her, he doesn't see her for what she truly is: a selfish, low-down, arrogant woman. But everyone he works with, including Cartwright's secretary knows the truth.
6. Charlotte, and Alice end up taking a cross-country trip to the West Coast. Where do they first stop?

Answer: New Orleans, Louisana

Charlotte buys a drink called a Hurricane. Alice (who is very religious, and straight-laced) states that she'd never drink something that's named after a natural disaster!
7. During their trip, what does Alice push Charlotte into doing?

Answer: Getting Baptized

Charlotte drags Alice to a country bar, and a male strip club. Alice drags Charlotte to a baptism in a lake. Charlotte gets in the water wearing a very expensive St. John outfit. Alice tells Charlotte that her outfit was named after St. John The Baptist.
8. During their trip, Charlotte confides in Alice that she is terminally ill. What was she diagnosed with?

Answer: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease

Alice promises Charlotte that she will help her remember, and that she won't let William put her away. This is what William is out to do, since he convinced Charlotte to sell her share of the company in order to frontload the money for the new building deal that he has made.

However, that deal also gives William control of the company along with her (since he is her son, and has a share in the business). While she's away on vacation, he sets up a meeting in order to force her into retirement.
9. Who ends up firing Chris and Ben?

Answer: William

William tells Andrea that he is going to fire Chris at a gala celebrating the opening of a new building. Andrea goes along with it, because she intends to leave Chris for William (little do they know that Jillian spots them consumating their affair). After Chris and Ben are terminated, Chris ends up emptying out the near $300,000.00 in Andrea's bank account in order to start up a construction company with Ben, which Andrea was never supportive of in the first place.
10. Who does Charlotte decide to hire as C.O.O. of the Cartwright Construction Company?

Answer: Abby

Charlotte (Kathy Bates) hires Abigail "Abby" Dexter as the new C.O.O.

Abigail Dexter is played by Robin Givens, best known for her role on the ABC TV show "Head Of The Class", her tumultous marriage to boxing legend "Iron" Mike Tyson and for her roles in movies such as "Boomerang", "Head Of State", "The Women Of Brewster Place", and "A Rage In Harlem".
11. Chris slaps Andrea after she tells him about her affair with William Cartwright.

Answer: True

After Chris and Ben get fired by William, Chris empties out the almost $300,000.00 in Andrea's bank account, in order to start his own construction company with Ben (which Andrea was never supportive of). Furious, Andrea demands that Chris go and get the money back. Ben reveals to Chris that she is having an affair and everyone knows about it. Andrea confirms it to Chris, by revealing the source of all of that money - William Cartwright, and referring to William as "her man". Out of anger, Chris slaps Andrea so hard that he knocks her over a counter. Andrea starts to throw money at him and tells him to buy some boxes so he can pack up his things and get out of her house. To hurt Chris even further, Andrea reveals that William Cartwright is the true father of Andrea's son Christopher. Later, at the construction site, Chris attacks William by punching him in the face and nearly pushing him off of a ledge.
12. Who is the first person to confront Andrea about her affair with William Cartwright?

Answer: Abby

The morning after the gala for the new building that the Cartwright Construction Company was building, Abby confronts Andrea about her affair with William Cartwright. Abby found out about the affair the night before from William's secretary (who Abby sent home due to the fact that she had way too much to drink)! While investigating the matter, Abby found several signs, such as personal purchases on Mr. Cartwright's account and hotel stays every Wednesday. Abby fires Andrea based on the fact that Andrea and William's affair violates the company's strict no fraternization policy.
13. What is the name of the hotel where William and Andrea sleep together every Wednesday?

Answer: Mayhew Hotel

Jillian (played by KaDee Strickland) goes to Charlotte, distraught over William's affair with Andrea, even though the two of them never got along (one reason being that Charlotte thought Jillian was weak, and the other reason being that Jillian eloped with William). Jillian tells her that, according to a private investigator that she hired, William meets with Andrea at the Mayhew Hotel, room 629. Charlotte reveals that William's father had affairs there too. Charlotte tells Jillian to go home, and make her demands to William, because she's "a woman scorned without a prenup". Jillian then tells Charlotte that William has planned a board meeting for later that day, in order to have her voted out.

Jillian later confronts Andrea at the Mayhew Hotel to inform her that Andrea's affair with William is over, and Jillian warns Andrea to stay away from her family.
14. Who does Charlotte end up firing, after she calls a special board meeting?

Answer: William

Charlotte regains control of the construction company with help from two silent partners (Alice Evans, and Nick Blanchette), under the disguise of the calvary company, Reynolds and Blanchette (Reynolds being Alice's maiden name). Nick Blanchette was a successful broker at Cartwright Construction, until (for no reason at all), he was fired by William (around the same time that Chris, and Andrea got married). After Nick was fired, his wife died and he lost custody of his children. He became a homeless vagabond who would stop into Alice's diner and had been giving Alice financial advice for years, in repayment of Alice caring for him.

Alice states that there is no need for Charlotte to step down, giving control of the company back to Charlotte. Charlotte decides to make two changes, keep Abigail "Abby" Dexter on as C.O.O. and fire William.
15. Which soul singer sings the song "I Hope You Dance" at the end of the movie?

Answer: Gladys Knight

The original song (sung by Lee Ann Womack) is played while Charlotte, and Alice are on their road trip. Alice sings the song at Charlotte's funeral (Charlotte commits suicide by using her medication, though it's not seen in the movie).

Gladys Knight is also featured in the Tyler Perry film "I Can Do Bad All By Myself", which stars Taraji P. Henson.

The Gladys Knight version of "I Hope You Dance" is played during the following scenes:

-Chris, Ben, and Pam taking pictures, after Chris, and Ben finally get their own construction company started.

-Chris paying back Andrea, who is now living in a cheap apartment. She tries to hug him, but he withdraws from her. He hugs Christopher, whose paternity is still unresolved.

-Nick Blanchette is back on his feet, and is seen buying a house.

-William and Jillian are seen having dinner together.

-Alice sells the diner, gets into the Cadillac that Charlotte left to her, and decides to head North. That's where the movie fades to black. I hope you've enjoyed this quiz.
