I’m so glad my generation and younger came to the realization that family can be your biggest enemy and it’s okay to cut them off. If they ever remade this movie, I hope it ends with Terri taking her money and getting away from all of them.
my frustrations always come back to how the family did Terri. Like- that lady was not a bank and everybody just ran up her pockets or did her dirty!? 😭
Notice how everybody judges faith but faith is the only one that never asked Terry for money. Matter fact, she didn't even ask to stay in Terry's house Terry offered cause like Faith said she thought she was gonna be at Joe's house.
Terri was definitely the victim. They put all the financial burden of Big Moma's house and hospital bills solely on her even though Bird and Lem lives there and Big Moma had money hidden this whole time, she paid for Birds shop and wedding, got 2 of her men stolen by her sister and cousin, and they still act ungrateful and rude to her. Even Big Moma toxic ass. Why is Ahmad in grown folks business all the time? He aint got no friends???
You can’t blame Ahmad for that 😂😂 he just happened to be in the right place at the right time cause he telling the story from his eyes. The family did that in front of him and not one of them said “Ahmad get outta here” they just started saying all they issues right there no discretion or none.
@@albanybestdrumlineidk, I think Ahmad was low key eat hustling cause he always happened to be around when some tea was getting spilled. I think he inserted himself into a lot of situations tryna be slick.
Fun Fact: Whitney Houston was considered for the role of Teri. Vivica auditioned to play Teri and booked Maxine instead. Regina King, Kenya Moore, and Jada Pinkett Smith auditioned to play Bird. Vanessa improvised the "Fuck the family!" scene.
Just a little poke poke maybe is HILARIOUS. But yes I remember the first time I watched this and being so confused at why everyone was on Terrys back. She was not wrong
Those grown folks put Ahmad in their business 😂 I feel like he kinda represents the childhood that many of us GenXers had. Raised by a hoard of adults who had to do their best to survive, get ahead in life and feed the kids. They all had trauma and no mental healthcare. Mature children played family referee!
Growing up and maturing is realizing Big Mama and to a certain extent Maxine were the villains, not Terri. Terri had every right to act the way she did. Did i agree with some of the actions she did, no. But she was the family’s bank, so yeah.
How was Big Mama a villain?? For having diabetes? 😂 Ain't no "villains" here.. just a family dealing with family stuff.. 🤦🏾🤦🏾 -- Faith MIGHTA been a villain, if anybody... but she was just an attention type chick 🤷🏾♂️
@HD00957 Her sister literally stole her boyfriend while she was dating him and it was big mama's fault because she made Terri bring her sister with her on her dates. If it happened another way then it would be different but no she took her sisters man no warning knowing dang well that she was still with him and big mama convinced her it was her responsibility to bank roll the whole family which stressed her and eventually her marriages out
@@HD00957 Big Mama played favorites. And it was VERY clear who was her least favorite, and why. She was absolutely the root of the issues in the family. Maxine and Bird can figure their own lives out, but I wish Terri a very happy Moving to Another State and Living the Life She Deserves.
No she wasn't, I respectfully disagree. What they did was out of vulnerability, that's y when they finished they instantly regretted it right away. Also Faith made no excuses, she didn't beg for forgiveness she wanted to leave. But Ahmad begged her to stay
I am stunned how much of this movie remember. Also plot? 6 plates. Interactivity level? The joy of talking back to the tv, rolling my eyes, yelling at Faith? ALL THE PLATES.
@ well maybe 5000 was enough to record that whole CD that Miles said they wanted to do. He said the fellas and I are going to record a CD so maybe $5000 covers everything. Enough time for all those songs and time to edit
I'm not letting Big Mama off the hook for this. She CLEARLY has a Golden Child AND a Scapegoat. Poor Terri! I have half a fanfic written where she takes the bar in another state and leaves ALL these people in her rearview on her way to NYC, or LA or ATL. Her family treats her like dirt. No wonder she feels the need to remind them of how much they rely on her so often. And don't get me started on that garbage pile she's married to. He took FIVE THOUSAND out of their JOINT ACCOUNT without telling her??? He quit his job, again without telling her???? He didn't think she needed to know she was about to be a sole provider for his pipe dreams? Also, did you notice how when Ahmad was telling everyone that Big Mama told him where the money was Terri was the only one who he approached about things that would be helpful to the whole family, and not just herself? She was too good for this family. JUSTICE FOR TERRI!
Actually the money he took belonged to him. It wasn't all Terri's money. She said $31,432 belongs to Miles. Also he told her he wants to pursue his music full time too. That was b4 he quit
Tbh Miles was trying to reach out to Teri. She wasn't interested in his music, called it a lil hobby, wouldn't even see him perform after he begged her for weeks. He wrote that song "I care about you" about Teri! Was cheating the answer? Hell no! He should've left.
Cuz Ahmad told her to come. Then begged her to stay when she said she's leaving. Plus Joe didn't judge Faith like every1 else does. The whole family is so judgmental and grudge holding, that's why they can't stick together and drifted apart even before Joe passed away.
Your hair is GIVING!!!!!😍 Now, to the movie. I really forgot how these people traumatized Ahmad. I mean, DAMN! This baby went THRU it! Simuel was this man's name? Simuel?!?!?! Nope! I have no words for Faith. She should be happy she survived the movie, cause chile......💅🏾 anyway. These people very much tried Teri. And my request for album relisten is Brandy's 'Never Say Never'.....no skips.🎶💽🎧
@@StorymodeReactsthe way he was listing after Bird like that, he should’ve been named SIMPuel. And Ahmad’s trauma is partially his fault cause he was always inserting himself into grown folks business instead of staying in a child’s place. Like damn lil nigga why you up under the grown up’s all the time, ain’t you got some friends your own age?? And one more thing on Ahmad, Bird deserves it upside her her for messing up Ahmad’s fade like that. That boy’s head was looking diabolical, the worst haircut in a black movie I done seen this side of that lil son Ninja from South Central.
Big momma thought she ate with that “fist” speech.. all she was saying was you don’t have to be held accountable when it comes to family smh.. her generation is the reason for trauma and generational curses
How is she gonna talk about “being the fist” and how everyone needs to help each other out but then not want anybody’s help with her diet to where she needed her foot cut off?
The Boondocks Explains Soul Food: Soul Food is a movie about a black grandmother, named Big Mama. Big Mama demonstrates her love by feeding her family enormous amounts of pig lard. Then, get this, Big Mama's arteries are so clogged, they gotta amputate her leg. Then she dies and the family gets together to eat the same food that just killed Big Mama.
Thank you for this reaction. Rewatching this movie as an adult i’ve come to the realization that the family treated Terri like garbage. They used & abused her. The movie made Terri look like the villain because of her standoffish demeanor. The reason why she was negative Nancy was because Max stole her boyfriend & married him, the family made her pay for everything & her marriage was on the rocks. Max was a lowkey bum. Bird was probably still messing around with Simuel because she didn’t set any boundaries & she went behind her husband’s back to Simuel to get him a job. That was a real group. Please react to the following black family movies: Madea’s Family Reunion This Christmas Madea’s Big Happy Family The Family That Preys Almost Christmas
How come people only noticed the bad stuff done to Terry but not the bad stuff Terry does too? Terri is NOT innocent. How would you feel if you got into it with your spouse then your sister comes and interferes by setting your spouse up to get beaten on. Lem having a gun played a role, but if she didn't set him up He NEVER would've went to jail that night AND Terry didn't apologize 4 doing it saying Lem should be thankful Terri got him out when she helped put him in AND told Lem Bird was pregnant when that wasn't her place either. Like Joe and Bird said Terry pay attention to your own man.
Terri literally paid for 90% of the family finances. Financial stress is something they didn't even think about when they constantly hit her up. When she officially said no, they had the nerve to try to make her feel bad for it. She became a walking hell fire the moment her husband and cousin betrayed her trust. That crash out at the party was inevitable.
QTNA: Why wasn't Uncle Pete at the funeral? Did they ever tell him that his sister died? It seems like he found out when Max finally tells him in the dining room.
“Piano Man goin off!” OMG this is one of the funniest videos I’ve come across in a long while. I never wanted to be someone’s friend so fast. I feel like we would get a long but also you are waaaaayyyy too cool for me
Personally I say justice for Joe. She's the only one with a clear conscious mind while her daughters & their husbands and her niece r all a bunch of jerks. Every1 in the family is a bad apple including Terri. If u & your spouse fight don't let Terri find out, she'll butt in
girrrrl i just rewatched this movie as an adult 2 weeks ago and I was JUST telling my friends that family would’ve stressed me tf out if I was Terri, too
I must say, I LOVE your reaction! You made a point in this reaction for real!! I love how you kept telling Ahmad to keep his butt outta ppls business and then he told Bird what his Mama Teri didn't tell him "Get your black a-- out here! Lololol 😂😂😂😂😂
Your commentary improved the watching of this film I have such a love / hate relationship with this film. Love is a strong word like / hate relationship with this film.The best this movie is the soundtrack.
This movie is iconic. I used to watch this movie as a kid it's different when you watching it as an adult now love the video story mode stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Big Momma was the real villain & on top of that where’s the Loyalty in this Family ?? Cousin Faith won’t sh*t for screwing Teri’s husband Miles. Rewatching this as an Adult I now understand why Teri was Fed up. Her family basically used & abused her & Big Momma put a lot of pressure on her being that she was the oldest !!! Her sister Maxine stole her man & she paid for Bird’s Hair salon . One thing I got from this movie is that at the end of the day Loyalty is rare & Family needs to always stick together. Breaking generational curses/ cycles are REAL. We can’t HEAL what we won’t REVEAL!!
This is so out of pocket, but you have *thee* cutest lisp I've ever seen and I wish I had it too 😩 lol I'm one of those people who used to want glasses and braces in grade school bc i thought it made ppl look cooler, so yeah. You're just lovely!
The main thing I hate about this movie is that most people only see what everyone did to Terri but don't notice Terri's mistakes too. She's not innocent. In the beginning Joe says "Terri stop running down your family" like her setting Lem up & STILL holding a grudge against Max & Kenny. Or basically making it seem like money was more important than Miles. Or thinking she's better than every1 cuz she graduated law school, AND thinking her degree is more significant than a the 40 year Sunday dinner tradition
I couldn’t stand that guy in waiting to exhale either smh! He did Bernie so wrong and the other guy who Whitney Hudson hooked up with and used he her toothbrush is in this movie is in this as well
Michael Beach was the quintessential “ain’t ish 🥷” of the 90’s cause he was always playing someone messed up. He was also an abusive husband on a music video for Stevie Wonder sometime around when this movie was made. Him and the dude that played Junior on players club was always on some bullsh*t.
8 plates ppl do dumb stuff sometimes. Family ain’t perfect most of us would just stop speaking to eachother was nice to see somebody family work out lol
If this movie was remade today that would have been great because this movie is such a nostalgia classic from 27 years ago. Takes me back when I was little. You should do a reaction to Light it up which was also produced by Babyface and Tracey Edmonds just like this movie. The child actor who plays Ahmad deserves his flowers because he such a great actor as a kid from the 90s. It’s too bad he hasn’t done a lot of movies but he’s my boy. Girl the way you was talking at 24:46 was annoying like be quiet. Lem just got out of jail so he’s nervous talking to his wife.
Terri got did so dirty, was she snooty yes but they had no right to treat her pockets like the bank, and despite her sister stealing her boyfriend she's never missed a big moment in her sister's life and even put her feelings aside about her husband cheating on her to come to her sister's anniversary party. She's so much stronger than me and also I was rooting for her to poke his ass a good 2-3 times before they caught her lol he deserved it. You don't get a right to cheat because you're unhappy but then you waited until a Sunday dinner to even tell your wife that your were unhappy how did that make sense?!? and yeah they're a mess.
To be a bit objective about Terri's marriage it was rocky from the start of the movie. I am not condoning her husband cheating but she constantly pushes him away emotionally and treated him more like a child than a spouse. To me if she had at least gone to the music show, even if she wasn't into it, it would have helped him stay faithful to her and not slip towards Faith. Again not saying he was in the right but when you start to neglect your partner they might say looking elsewhere
To be more objective about the situation, Miles was the biggest jack ass to exist. He knew her struggle and knew she was taking financial responsibility for the whole family after essentially being emotionally manipulated by her mama into taking care of the family with no help but, potentially him, for years. But he did not care what type of strain his wife was under because he didn't feel like working as a lawyer part-time just to make sure his drowning in bills wife didn't stress herself to death. He didn't even understand why she had to work overtime to keep people's roofs over their heads instead of going to his shows. Bby get someone to film them for her hello.
Love me some soul food. Justice for terry ❤ she deserved so much better! 😂 her whole family used her, her husband cheated, I don’t blame her for being a B!
Big Mama was the only thing holding the family together originally because the family ain’t respect each other. Lem makes me laugh Terri ain’t buy him the pew or pull it out in the middle of a crowded bar.
"Just a lil' poke poke" LOL! And Ahmad STAYED in grown folks business lol! After lookin' at this movie from a different perspective, yeah, they fucked over Aunt Terri. Her husband stole her boyfriend and MARRIED him, her cousin screwed the husband she DID marry, AND she was floatin' everything from weddings to businesses to whole households while gettin' gaslit the whole time. They drove her crazy!
5.5 plates. You know what you're in for from the beginning though. Rewatching as an adult I was like, why on earth did Bird marry him right when he got out of prison. Let him establish himself first. Then I was like... how did these unwelcome people even get inside of the wedding reception like that.... like you said, a countless number of bad decisions though
You judging a movie off the 'bad decisions' but movies are made for conflict lol... was it a good movie tho? Yeah it was... Just bc you got 'triggered' about a characters choice don't make the movie bad lol..
@@HD00957 why you coming at me so hard for my opinion lol? I liked the movie as a kid, I didn't as an adult. I didn't give it a zero lol... sheesh! Why do people have to make stupid decisions from start to finish to have a movie progress. That is not the only way to create a movie "Jumping the Broom" had drama and was entertaining and didn't have all the nonsense that went on in Soul Food. Obviously characters won't always make the correct decisions but if you're rolling your eyes the entire movie, that does not make it enjoyable or relatable. Greenleaf was a whole show with several seasons with nothing but family drama and dumb decisions, but it's extremely enjoyable. My opinion lol.
@thatdudegba that's like saying Terminator is bad bc Skynet happened.. lol.. movies don't exist without conflict.. and guess what kinda conflict is gonna happen in a family movie? You rated it a 5 bc you judging the characters obviously.. cuz it was shot well. It was written well.. so ima lil confused
This movie was the highlight of one of my high school slumber parties ❤ I love it for nostalgia’s sake, but it’s not a 10/10 movie at all. These people are so real and messy that I’m cringing at them now that I’m no longer 17😂
I’m so glad my generation and younger came to the realization that family can be your biggest enemy and it’s okay to cut them off. If they ever remade this movie, I hope it ends with Terri taking her money and getting away from all of them.

I laughed so hard when you started talking about his skin and then you said “hello??” 🤣

Omad needed some little cousins real bad 😂
Why? If he's anything like me, he would've avoided his cousins and enjoyed watching all the events unfold.
I've come to the realization I watched these movies WAY too young.
Soul Food also had a TV show on showtime
This is so out of pocket, but you have *thee* cutest lisp I've ever seen and I wish I had it too 😩 lol I'm one of those people who used to want glasses and braces in grade school bc i thought it made ppl look cooler, so yeah. You're just lovely!
The main thing I hate about this movie is that most people only see what everyone did to Terri but don't notice Terri's mistakes too. She's not innocent. In the beginning Joe says "Terri stop running down your family" like her setting Lem up & STILL holding a grudge against Max & Kenny. Or basically making it seem like money was more important than Miles. Or thinking she's better than every1 cuz she graduated law school, AND thinking her degree is more significant than a the 40 year Sunday dinner tradition
You’re hilarious I hollered through this reaction 😂
I couldn’t stand that guy in waiting to exhale either smh! He did Bernie so wrong and the other guy who Whitney Hudson hooked up with and used he her toothbrush is in this movie is in this as well
OMG YES!!! I knew I recognized him from somewhere 😭
@@StorymodeReactsyou should up put waiting to exhale on your watch list
Michael Beach was the quintessential “ain’t ish 🥷” of the 90’s cause he was always playing someone messed up. He was also an abusive husband on a music video for Stevie Wonder sometime around when this movie was made. Him and the dude that played Junior on players club was always on some bullsh*t.
“You just got here, but you gotta GO!” Helllloooooo! I’m sorry cousin but your going to a hotel tonight.. because I’ll be damned!
“Eating good” yeah eating too good, got big mama about to die! Every week eating all that soul food.
8 plates ppl do dumb stuff sometimes. Family ain’t perfect most of us would just stop speaking to eachother was nice to see somebody family work out lol
I really enjoyed your reaction and review. Subscribed.
Finally have to speak that I'm loving this movie reaction crossover era. 😅 More Boondocks and/or Leprechaun in the Hood when?
Ken came in hot 🥵 slamming and breaking all the furniture 😂
fun fact: “fuck the family!” was improvised
But she said that shit with her whole chest tho, so she was definitely in her bag on that delivery.
If this movie was remade today that would have been great because this movie is such a nostalgia classic from 27 years ago. Takes me back when I was little. You should do a reaction to Light it up which was also produced by Babyface and Tracey Edmonds just like this movie. The child actor who plays Ahmad deserves his flowers because he such a great actor as a kid from the 90s. It’s too bad he hasn’t done a lot of movies but he’s my boy. Girl the way you was talking at 24:46 was annoying like be quiet. Lem just got out of jail so he’s nervous talking to his wife.
Yes. I am here for Light It Up
WHERE WAS UNCLE PETE GOING WITH THAT MONEY........
Down the the creek. Or to daddy’s smoke house in the back for some sausages, mmm mmm mmm.
Terri got did so dirty, was she snooty yes but they had no right to treat her pockets like the bank, and despite her sister stealing her boyfriend she's never missed a big moment in her sister's life and even put her feelings aside about her husband cheating on her to come to her sister's anniversary party. She's so much stronger than me and also I was rooting for her to poke his ass a good 2-3 times before they caught her lol he deserved it. You don't get a right to cheat because you're unhappy but then you waited until a Sunday dinner to even tell your wife that your were unhappy how did that make sense?!? and yeah they're a mess.
To be a bit objective about Terri's marriage it was rocky from the start of the movie. I am not condoning her husband cheating but she constantly pushes him away emotionally and treated him more like a child than a spouse. To me if she had at least gone to the music show, even if she wasn't into it, it would have helped him stay faithful to her and not slip towards Faith. Again not saying he was in the right but when you start to neglect your partner they might say looking elsewhere
I can understand this viewpoint as well!
To be more objective about the situation, Miles was the biggest jack ass to exist. He knew her struggle and knew she was taking financial responsibility for the whole family after essentially being emotionally manipulated by her mama into taking care of the family with no help but, potentially him, for years. But he did not care what type of strain his wife was under because he didn't feel like working as a lawyer part-time just to make sure his drowning in bills wife didn't stress herself to death. He didn't even understand why she had to work overtime to keep people's roofs over their heads instead of going to his shows. Bby get someone to film them for her hello.
@@antoinettetruss1991she didn't have to do none of that she chose to do that stuff I be damn if I let anyone take advantage of him
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xcAnd thats the problem. Terri shouldve let that family sink because either way it went they still would've been ungrateful.
"Ahmad coudda been outside"
😂😂😂😂
My mom is the Teri of our family - she’s learned some boundaries but I wish he had more
Love me some soul food. Justice for terry ❤ she deserved so much better! 😂 her whole family used her, her husband cheated, I don’t blame her for being a B!
Big Mama was the only thing holding the family together originally because the family ain’t respect each other.
Lem makes me laugh Terri ain’t buy him the pew or pull it out in the middle of a crowded bar.
Wassup Storymodebae really enjoy your videos keep up the good work 😊
New subscriber love the review and the commentary 😂😂😂😂😂
Not you being fed up all around 😂But your vocals 10/10
@14:38 the way buddy tried to catch his balance after getting walloped with that tray!! 😂😂😭🥲
big mama! yo arm!!!! love you story ❤
😂🤣
Oh man. Good ol 90s BET movies lol
"Just a lil' poke poke" LOL! And Ahmad STAYED in grown folks business lol! After lookin' at this movie from a different perspective, yeah, they fucked over Aunt Terri. Her husband stole her boyfriend and MARRIED him, her cousin screwed the husband she DID marry, AND she was floatin' everything from weddings to businesses to whole households while gettin' gaslit the whole time. They drove her crazy!
Wah gwan!!! 😊the hair bangs is banging 👌🏽
Love this reaction. Was always one of my favorite classics to watch as a kid. You remind me of Keri Hilson 😂😂. Y'all kinda look alike.
Soul Food The TV series was really good too. It came on Showtime.
Big Mama was the villain.
Terri was the victim.
I SAID WHAT I SAID!
5.5 plates. You know what you're in for from the beginning though. Rewatching as an adult I was like, why on earth did Bird marry him right when he got out of prison. Let him establish himself first. Then I was like... how did these unwelcome people even get inside of the wedding reception like that.... like you said, a countless number of bad decisions though
And see here I was thinking I was being too harsh with 6.5 plates 🤭 my people!
You judging a movie off the 'bad decisions' but movies are made for conflict lol... was it a good movie tho? Yeah it was... Just bc you got 'triggered' about a characters choice don't make the movie bad lol..
@@HD00957 why you coming at me so hard for my opinion lol? I liked the movie as a kid, I didn't as an adult. I didn't give it a zero lol... sheesh! Why do people have to make stupid decisions from start to finish to have a movie progress. That is not the only way to create a movie "Jumping the Broom" had drama and was entertaining and didn't have all the nonsense that went on in Soul Food. Obviously characters won't always make the correct decisions but if you're rolling your eyes the entire movie, that does not make it enjoyable or relatable. Greenleaf was a whole show with several seasons with nothing but family drama and dumb decisions, but it's extremely enjoyable. My opinion lol.
@thatdudegba that's like saying Terminator is bad bc Skynet happened.. lol.. movies don't exist without conflict.. and guess what kinda conflict is gonna happen in a family movie? You rated it a 5 bc you judging the characters obviously.. cuz it was shot well. It was written well.. so ima lil confused
@thatdudegba and saying you "triggered" is not coming at you hard lol.. you watching Greenleaf make a lot more sense now 🤣
Just a lil poke-poke maybe?!? LMAOOOOOO
gotta forgive Cousin Faith too 😂
This movie was the highlight of one of my high school slumber parties ❤
I love it for nostalgia’s sake, but it’s not a 10/10 movie at all. These people are so real and messy that I’m cringing at them now that I’m no longer 17😂
Big Momma's chair 😂!
This is the 1st reaction vid where i saw the reactor and said "damn u fine" 🔥
Bird should’ve ordered Church’s😂
Not the burnt conebread 😂😂
@@1miary right poor Bird
And u just gone throw your leg up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This movie stressed you out girl lmao
Aye why cousin faith a problem cause of the coat you right but damn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You look like Keri Hilson.. great video
5:29 that Tyler Perry wig special
You look like Vanessa Williams and Keri Hilton fusion danced
Hi. Michael Beach (Miles) was good in The 100 tv show ( Post Apocalyptic tv series).😊😊
I’ve also never seen this movie. Always feel like it’s mentioned in the classics
I’m still trying to see what the hell Bird saw in Lem? Because huh?
Well hold on, Lem was kinda fine 😅
It’s weird how they ate the same shit that kilt they mama
I liked both the movie & the tv show 😭
