Summary: MINUS PERFORMANCE
Review: Apart from the good music background,there is nothing really much to say about this movie.Unlike AfroAm movies like WAITING TO EXHALE the characters in this one tend to come out to obvious or unproffessional.The plot behind seems to be excellent......but I hate it when guys show me they are acting......it kills the suspense and the whole flair.

Summary: All Around GREAT!
Review: From the ensemble cast to the story and the soundtrack, SOUL FOOD is a story for all generations, all races, all backgrounds. It touched on so much -- family ties, marital issues (both good and bad), childhood fears, loyalty, greed, deceit, trust, forgiveness, and most of all LOVE. A family like Big Mamma's is one to envy, not for their way of handling things that come between them, but for their determination to stand beside each other through it all. You'll laugh and cry -- this is truly one for your "favorites" collection!

Summary: Soul Food offers a generous helping.
Review: Great cast, solid acting, and a pretty cool soundtrack makes this film worth watching. A family in Chicago experiences friction when its matriarch is hospitalized for her diabeties. Terri is the ultra-high-maintenance lawyer; Maxine is the down-to earth mother of a young son, and Bird is the sassy hairdresser who tries to shake off her ex while married to her thuggish, ex-con husband. The storyline can get predictable; and a couple of the characters verge on stereotype, but there's enough talent in this film to make it worth your while. Recommended.

Summary: Fun Reailty Film About An African American Family
Review: I love this movie! I can sit down and watch it over and over again! So I have to give props to all the peolple who were a part of putting this movie together. I would always watch this movie for the fun of it until I used it as a project in my English class in which I had to examine why I liked the movie so much. In doing this I discovered that the lives that the women and their mates lead in this movie are ideal lives for many people today such as; Teri(Vannessa Williams) being a succesful career woman, Maxine(Vivica Fox)being a great mom and wife, and Bird(Nia Long)being a young sucessful entrepreneur and diva. Not to leave out the men; Lem(Mekhi Phifer)is a determined hard worker trying to turn away from crime, Kenny(Jeffery Sams) is a sucessful business owner and good father/husband and lastly, Miles an successful lawyer/music producer.With all these things good in their lives this movie still dipictis the ture life struggles of an everyday family very well (notice I did not say black family). It shows that through life's worse mishaps love will get you through things. Great cast, greater soundtrack, good story! Recommended for all to see!!!!

Summary: My Favorite movie!
Review: I love this movie! This is a movie that I never get tired of because it tells such a compelling story about three sisters struggling with their family issues. The story is mostly narrated by Ahmad who himself is trying to put the family back together after his grandma goes into a coma. All of the actors and actresses give magnificent performances. This movie is definitely worth adding to your personal collection.If you really love this movie then you might enjoy the series, but I personally think the series ruined the whole dynamic of the movie. The famous actors and actresses who created the roles in the movie are not in series and to me that's a negative. I fell in love with just about all of the characters in the movie (except cousin Faith) and was really cheering for them from the beginning to the end, but in the series I just don't care for the characters they are just not the same characters they once were. I believe that they should have just stopped with the movie because there is only so far you can go with Soul Food the series, so I predict and hope that it will end soon because I really think it's messing up the memory of the movie.

Summary: Definite Must See!!
Review: I throughly enjoyed this movie for many reasons though I was given this film as a gift rather than purchase it on Amazon.com. But I have only praises for this film's portrayal of African American families, no film can accurately portray anything but this film comes very close to authentic. If you'll pardon the few adult situations and language, you have a pretty decent family movie though I wouldn't necessarily invite little kids along for the ride. The rivalry between the sisters particularly Williams and Fox kinda went unresolved I don't think they really made a mends at the end. And William's husband cheating on her with her half sister, maybe that was a bit unnecessary for the drama. But this a great film. Highly recommended.
