    Editorial Reviews

    This hit domestic comedy-drama concerned the fortunes of an extended African-American family recalled through the eyes of young narrator Ahmad (Brandon Hammond). Ahmad's world revolves around his grandmother, Big Mama Joseph (Irma P. Hall) and her three daughters: workaholic attorney Teri (Vanessa Williams), newlywed salon owner Bird (Nia Long), and Ahmad's housewife mom, Maxine (Vivica A. Fox). Each sister is in turmoil. Teri has lost patience for her husband Miles (Michael Beach), who wants to quit the law and take up music. Bird doesn't realize that her husband Lem (Mekhi Phifer) is about to be humiliated by her ex-boyfriend (Mel Jackson). And while Maxine's relationship with her husband Kenny (Jeffrey D. Sams) is going well, her relationship with her jealous sister Teri needs fixing. These conflicts boil over at Big Mama's traditional Sunday dinners, where the matriarch plays peacemaker. The ritual faces extinction, however, when Big Mama suffers a stroke -- but Ahmad is waiting in the wings to take her place. Soul Food launched the directing career of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native George Tillman, Jr., who based the script on his own family experiences. In the summer of 2000, Soul Food was spun off into a cable TV series. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

    November 25, 2005: Suitable for adults only. Great presentation of real family issues and how they could be dealt with. A matriarch passes her skills on to a young grandchild. The entire movie is narrated through the grandchild. While it is about an African Ameerican family, the issues affect all race and ethnic groups. Some scenes will be offesive to some adults. Reality is hard to deal with. Great for counselling, marriage prepreation, those dealing with families in crisis, and ministry. It will require a facilitor. Good for college Sociology, Psychology & MSW classes, as well as religious retreats. While many may not be personally involved in the issues discussed, they touch all families in some way or another in time. It has a fantastic ending that offers hope in some situations.
