Big Mama was the head of the problem. Never realized til I got older.
My Uncle Carl Wright played the preacher. Rest in peace Uncle Carl🙏🏽 from Chicago
"Never trust a person with an uneven bang" 😂
I always said Big Mama was the real villian. You got money stashed in a tv and didn’t say anything 😂
@@rikacanon87Using Terri as an ATM then calling Maxine the “strongest”. She was foul! 😭
Yes. Rewatching Soul Food as an adult?? Terri’s attitude was valid. 🤷🏾♀️
Man all I gotta say is justice for Terry she definitely deserved better. People like Maxine, Big Momma, and Faith are the reason why certain people be distant and don’t want to fw their family like that. & I always find it rude and disrespectful that Bird and Lem were having sex in Big Momma’s house right before Sunday dinner like who does that???
You did soul food, you gotta do Set It Off and Player’s Club before BHM ends lol!
Yes the Soul Food series was very good. 👌🏾 And I promise everytime I hear. "Big Mama, ya arm!" I promise I chuckle because Ashley had that under her Twitter handle for the longest 😂😂😂
I learned to always be careful with a towel on the stove from Big momma too. 😂
Maxine and Kenny couldn’t even get a room. Hate how they kept asking Terry to pay for everything.
Maxine was after Terri’s boyfriend. And he was fast like Maxine 🤨. And Terri wasn’t like that. My family who I don’t really eff with anymore was very similar but worse so this movie is weird to watch but an awesome movie 🍿. Terri did some things in this movie but at least did the most to correct them. And cousin faith 🤣, it’s several of them in my family on both sides 🤨.
I used to watch the series on UA-cam when I didn't have access to cable. It looks like it's still on here.
This movie came out around the time my grandmother passed and I was like 11 or 12. But I must say that until this review I never really looked at this movie from Terri’s eyes they really did her dirty. And the funny part is (I may not have the money) but I’m definitely the Terri of my family. That crap gets overwhelming to carry everything for everyone.
Ashley said miles couldn’t come to the funeral 😂
I would love to hear you do Bebe Kids
I loved the series.
When they sang Eyes is on the sparrow and that scene with the girls has me break down
I feel you Imitation of Life what Mahalia Jackson singing at the Funeral I cry every time.
I know you do movies but girl I was looking at episodes of The Game and baby we need to talk about it 😂cuz Darwin snd Melony was a lil toxic now that we grown 🤣
Soul food was and is my favorite movie and I think soul food the series should have been on Tubi or something.
Don’t need it got every last dvd of Soul food series. My favorite show oh man
I swear I used to think something was wrong with me. I was team Terri as a teen. I thought so much of what my peers agreed upon was immature lol
Yes, I watched the series on UA-cam and it’s so good.. I’m thinking about just buying the dvds on amazon so I can watch again.
Nah lets be real Terry did what any sister would do for her younger sister. Also, Bird's man has this huge ego problem like...my dude you don't want no help at all you just assume you being the perfect prisoner MAGICALY GOT YOU OUT OF JAIL!? Your wife's sister is a damn lawyer of COUSRE she got you out! lol
Great video! Can you do Menace 2 Society, Boyz N Da Hood, & Jason’s Lyric, and New Jersey Drive? 🤔
Uncle Pete saw Mama Joe in Maxine ❤
Ahmad was always up in Grown folks business. Bird was dead wrong.
Ahmad wasn’t that kid on the kids place bird could of stay outta lem business…
The little boy in the movie lived in my late aunts Queens neighborhood and she knew him
ASHLEY!!! I done seen Soul food a million times but the way you broke down this movie bayyyybe! I'm about to go rewatch it like I never seen it before lol
Uneven bangs😂😂😂😂😂
I’m from Ireland, we didn’t get a lot of these movies yous grew up on in the US but please please do white chicks next that’s probably my favourite movie of all time or Chicago too the musical
Another great video Ashley
Excellent review. I’m going to look for the series
It used to run on bet years ago the tv show.
The family did Teri so wrong. Miles and Faith wouldn't still be around.The series was on UA-cam some years ago, think it still is.
Ahmad was narrator that’s why he pops up everywhere. Longtime ago i thought Terri was a snob. But later I liked her she was bread winner family milked all the time.
If nobody understood Terri i sure did 🫶🏾 shout out to all the Terri’s of the world!
The family is way too forgiving on Miles and Faith.
it's the sip before the singing for me lmao
Can you do fighting temptation!!!
I got the series on dvd too 😂
Ashley before you started talking about soul food the series, i was going to ask you can review it! It was so good and i binged it 2 summers ago! That series was so good!!i remember being in hs and hated that we didn’t have showtime and my friend always hung up the phone with me to watch it when it came on lol. But all of the episodes are on UA-cam except for maybe 2, if that! But if you would watch and review it now, I’d dead ass watch it again too!
Maxine said “Myles!!!”
Ahmad was the only character in the family that had a lot of sense. Why the hell are people keep bringing up that he was in grown folks business? His family was stupid and making ridiculous decisions and he wanted everybody to stop and love each other because he loved everybody just like Big Mama. You should do a review on Light it up that came out two years after Soul Food.
Faith could have easily stayed with Big Mama that big ole house!! Maybe she wanted her around Terri because she was “established” and wanted Faith get guidance. Then she probably didn’t let her stay with her because of Lem loose ahh especially how he was acting on his wedding day but Miles took one for the team I guess 🤣
Miles hunching Faith so reminded me of Charles hunching the neighbor on BMF 🤣
Bird def wasn’t having Faith around her husband lmaooo not with her reputation and u see Lem wasn’t working for part of the movie. Nah ya not going be getting close during the day while I’m at work 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Ashley are you gonna review The Best Man?
I enjoyed watching Soul Food as a kid.
Myles was married to Terry but she was married to her career. But she had to work as hard as she did.
They were totally different. But don’t cross that line.
This is one of my favorite movies, but whew do I have thoughts!
I understand Soul Food has rich tradition in African American culture. But why wasn't Big Mama taking care of herself? She up there talking about herbs instead of taking her damn insulin!! Why didn't anybody check on Uncle Pete? Did he need to be in a facility or a home? Also, was he at the funeral? Did nobody tell him that his sister died until max talks to him in the dining room?
Why do they speak of such affection towards their father when he almost made them homeless due to his gambling addiction? Why did big mama have Teri paying her bills when she had a stash of cash, upstairs? And why wasn't the money in the bank? Why wasn't it in a high yield savings account?
Maxine was wrong as hell for what she did with Kenny period! They make it seem like it's just some little fight that Teri and Max had when it was literally over Kenny and they make it seem like Teri just needs to move on and let bygones be bygones when she has to watch the man that her sister stole from her marry her and have kids with her!! Do Max and Kenny ever sincerely apologize to Teri? I doubt it.
Terry is wrong for always giving these people money and then throwing it in their faces. Either give them the money set up payment plans or expectations from them to pay you back or realize that you're in this cycle where you're always going to be taking care of your family. And that is your role and deal with it. You don't have to give them money. You don't have to take care of everybody, but stop doing it and then resenting them for it. That's not fair.
I also think part of Teri and Max's feud comes from Teri probably being positioned as the smart one of the 3, and it seems like she was maybe pushed more academically and seen as more academically gifted versus her sisters. Yeah, maybe max resents her for that.
Lem is wrong for lying and putting his hands on that woman! I don't care how mad you are and what she did! Bird is also wrong for calling in Simuel of all people to be the one to get Lem a job. She knows he ain't shit and she know Simuel was going to hold it over Lem's head!
Terry is wrong for not caring about her husband's feelings and needs. Miles literally wrote that song about Teri. He's begging for her attention an affection. "Girl I care about you. I'm there for you so why don't you care for me like I care about you." Miles, DEAD WRONG and Teri should have stabbed his ass! Knowing that Faith has this bad history of irresponsibility, wspecially when it comes to Big Mama & her money, why the hell did Teri let Faith in her house?!
I felt bad for Ahmad because he was placed in this position to fix these problems of these adults! Why did it take this 11 year old boy to get everyone together and get them to get out of their own ways and start being better and acting better? He's eleven that's not his job!! Overall great movie, great soundtrack! ❤
Soul Food the series was good but kinda became raunchy 😅 you could expect at least 2-3 azz shots in the episode
It's on tubi now
I know Byrd the youngest but baby i wouldve got on Terry and Max ass about arguing over my mama almost fead body! Cuz if yall dont take that shit out of this hospital room!
Lmao When You Started Singing Mama 💀💀💀
Homegirl I need you to do menace to society
It was Nathan Morris’ mother , not mike.
I just watched it and had to see if you did a review. WHY DID EVERYTHING KEEP HAPPENING TO TERI!?
Lol Ashley Mel Jackson is from your city girl 😂
Girl and speaking of the series why don’t you do a review on that as well since you got the box set lol… truth be told actually love the series more simply cause it lasted long Nicole Ari, Parker did an amazing job playing & resembling Vanessa L Williams, character from the movie also was in shock when I found out/discovered the other Vanessa playing Maxine was like 👍🏾 wow 😯 Darren Henson was great as Lem Aaron Meeks was good playing Ahmad, Rockmond was great as Kenny and Boris was good as Damon Simply, I did watch it for us men my being gay lol
It has a sex scene and an R rating so my mamma said nope Little Girl. I was not allowed to watch it so I snuck and watched it when I was 13. Lol 🤭
Uncle Pete should have been in somebody home. If you are not chipping in on the bills, then shut up.
You mention Mama Joe having to get on her hands and knees for the white folks I didn't like how the director zoomed in on Vanessa Williams we know her mom is White.
Another movie that you should view is Freedom Writers they were talking about how the Jews have big noses I didn't like how they zoomed in on Mario We all know he got some nostrils on him.
Vanessa Williams’s mother isn’t white 😆. She actually went on Finding Your Roots a few years back and is like 80% African. She has a long linage of black educators.
@@mariedevan I apologize I just googled it her mom's black her dad is white
@@rachellegoodwin4868 her dad isn’t white either lol. He is very fair skinned. My grandmother was the same with black parents. You should watch her Finding Your Roots episode. She is black on both sides.
@@rachellegoodwin4868he’s not lol. Genetically Vanessa Williams is around 80% black. Her father is just fair skinned. You should watch her episode on Finding your Roots. Heavy black lineage on both sides.
@@mariedevan WHAT ?!?! Going to go look at that episode. I'm about to throw My Wig across this room. 🤔🫣🫨
Am I the only one who disliked Ahmad throughout the entire film? He needs to stay out of grown people business! He thought it was okay to invite Grace to the family dinner even though Teri was there.
I don’t dislike him. I disliked his family because they were the reason he was in grown folks business. It’s not his fault because his family was stupid and toxic. They made him cry at the end because he loves everyone more than they love each other.
I take comfort in the fact that I was on Terri’s side from the very beginning lol
