Soul Food
Sunday dinner at Mothers Joe's (Irma P. Hall) is a mouth watering, 40 year tradition. As seen through the eyes of her grandson Ahmad (Brandon Hammond), love and laughs are always on the menu, despite the usual rivalries simmering between his mom Maxine and her sisters Teri an bird. But when serious bickering starts to tear the family apart, the good times suddenly stop. Now it's up to Ahmad to get everyone back together and teach them the true meaning of soul food.

I love this movie! The cast is phenomenal. The writing is exceptional. And the plot is very moving. The theme of the movie is all about the family staying together through thick and thin. This is one of my absolute favorites!

Wanted to love this movie but...
rating: 2
...the best I can bring is applause for the casting and acting, which are both good to excellent. The script is a train wreck, racked by redundancies, cliches, and dialogue that doesn't ring true, like that of the older cast members talking "street" to the young Ahmad. Way too many loose ends are left dangling. Where realism should happen (the dialogue, or the contrived meeting in the print shop cafeteria), there's melodrama and/or predictability. Where a bit more "Hollywood" might have been in order (more resolution re: the marriage of the Vanessa Williams character, what happens to her husband's band, and making some of Ahmad's dialogue more audible) we're left wondering. I ended up with indigestion.

rating: 5
You can not go wrong with this movie. It's about love, and how families should stick together and work things out. When you get together and stay close, it is hard for and outsider to turn you aginst your own family. For you have spent so much time with them, you know what they will and wont do. Learn to be close to your family members, except them for who they are. God didnt make us alike. What would a world really be if we where all alike? (ROBOT)
