Peeples is a 2013 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism.
[4] The Peeples are an affluent East Coast family celebrating their annual Moby Dick Day reunion at Sag Harbor in the Hamptons.
The weekend is interrupted when musician Wade Walker, the fiancé of Grace Peeples, shows up to propose after being goaded by his brother, Chris.
At the grocery store, he sees Grace's father Virgil, a judge, talking to a woman later revealed to be the mayor.
Wade learns more about Grace, including about her ex-boyfriends, breast implants, and mother, Daphne, who is a former singer and recovering alcoholic.
While playing through the Peeples's house, Wade finds Daphne's headpiece from her days as a performer and begins to sing while wearing it.
Because of Chris's borrowed Gamma Phi sweater, Virgil thinks they are fraternity brothers and invites him to stay.
They follow him into the bathroom and pretend to be thugs, but then tell him to return his mother's earrings and stop stealing.
At the Moby Dick Day celebration, Grace tells Wade he looks terrible and offers him a drink from a thermos with a mushroom drawn on it.
The site's critical consensus reads, "Peeples is a warm, amiable farce that offers a few chuckles but mostly falls back on predictable plotting and an overwrought message.
