A Dysfunctional Family Dinner || Soul Food (1997) Reaction 

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!? 😭

I'm glad you pointed out how Ahmad was exposed because people Ahmad was always in grown folks business but no they was always traumatizing him

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.

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???

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

Faith was testing his faith

Justice for Terri

This reaction is comedic gold🤣...the way you went in on the whole family and their decisions is priceless.

“$5,000…. For STUDIOOOO TAAAAA…..” has me in a headlock! 😂

Eating the pig from the roota to the toota is wild 😂 this movie makes me wish my family had more Sunday dinners 😭

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.

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.

It’s funny because the way you reacted was exactly how I reacted when I first seen this “why are you here?” x3 😂

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.

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.🎶💽🎧

“👊🏾 not over the potato salad “ 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

The kid is the only one that trying to bring the family together

You and Vanessa Williams are twins! & the bangs are banging😍😍

A THiN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE!!!!!!*****

I've come to the realization I watched these movies WAY too young.

Big mama nerves died in her arm, that’s why she didn’t realize it

“‘Mhad, get out da kitcheeeen!” 😂😂

14:43 The iconic door slam💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

“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

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

Cousin faith also played Otis wife in the the temptations movie 😂 Josephine

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

The real villian was Big Momma. She treated her kids differant and pitted them against other.

Only crazy thing is that the food prolly helped killed grandma and they STILL MADE THE SAME FOOD AFTERWARDS THAT PROBABLY CONTRIBUTED TO HER DEATH 😂

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.

I saw this film in the theater. It was an okay experience. Great reaction! 👍🏿

WHERE WAS UNCLE PETE GOING WITH THAT MONEY........

Omad needed some little cousins real bad 😂

LOL I just watched this two weeks ago on Hulu, it was definitely different watching it as adult. You understand more of the family's dynamics.

“Eating good” yeah eating too good, got big mama about to die! Every week eating all that soul food.

I got beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, lamb, rams, hogs, dogs Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes Chicken, turkeys, rabbit (you name it!) Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes Lamb, rams, hogs, dogs Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes Chicken, turkeys, chicken, turkeys Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes Lamb, rams, hogs, dogs Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes Chicken, turkeys, rabbit (you name it!)

Ken came in hot 🥵 slamming and breaking all the furniture 😂

You killed it with this one. I laughed way too hard too many time

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.

fun fact: “fuck the family!” was improvised

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.

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

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

Was it the macaroni that did it 😂😂😂 girl! Goodbye! 😂😂😂😂😂

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!

Girl u had me rolling 😂 one of the best reactions I seen this year so far and you are so right about wht u said about seeing movies thryadult eyes!!!

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

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

Soul Food also had a TV show on showtime

Finally have to speak that I'm loving this movie reaction crossover era. 😅 More Boondocks and/or Leprechaun in the Hood when?

"Ahmad coudda been outside" 😂😂😂😂

Soul Food The TV series was really good too. It came on Showtime.

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!

Not you being fed up all around 😂But your vocals 10/10

You’re hilarious I hollered through this reaction 😂

Oh man. Good ol 90s BET movies lol

This is the 1st reaction vid where i saw the reactor and said "damn u fine" 🔥

You look like Keri Hilson.. great video

Big Mama was the villain. Terri was the victim. I SAID WHAT I SAID!

big mama! yo arm!!!! love you story ❤

Big Momma's chair 😂!

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.

gotta forgive Cousin Faith too 😂

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.

This is a classic omg she looks kinda like kerry hilson.

Not the burnt conebread 😂😂

It’s weird how they ate the same shit that kilt they mama

Just a lil poke-poke maybe?!? LMAOOOOOO

I liked both the movie & the tv show 😭

I really enjoyed your reaction and review. Subscribed.

You look like Keri Hilson 😍y’all can be sisters or cousins

This movie stressed you out girl lmao

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.

And u just gone throw your leg up 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wah gwan!!! 😊the hair bangs is banging 👌🏽

@14:38 the way buddy tried to catch his balance after getting walloped with that tray!! 😂😂😭🥲

I’m still trying to see what the hell Bird saw in Lem? Because huh?

Wassup Storymodebae really enjoy your videos keep up the good work 😊

Hi. Michael Beach (Miles) was good in The 100 tv show ( Post Apocalyptic tv series).😊😊

5:29 that Tyler Perry wig special

“Ahmad could’ve been outside” please react to ‘TNT Jackson’. Because even though I’m only 40, I just know your reaction will take me ALL the way out and there’d be no better way to go!!

New subscriber love the review and the commentary 😂😂😂😂😂

Not the Poke Poke bae 🔪

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.

Aye why cousin faith a problem cause of the coat you right but damn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think big mama was the real villain. yeah i said it.

Your hair is so pretty

I love your reactions 😂😂😂😂

Got this movie at an 8

I’ve also never seen this movie. Always feel like it’s mentioned in the classics

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

The Boondocks talks about Soul Food. Big Mama dies because of her eating Soul and they eat the same food that killed big mama.

I love the tv show 😭

Please do "Losing Isaiah" or "Dangerous Minds"

Justice for teri❤❤❤

I know max was saying miles after what she did

4:51 😳😭🫠

A little poke poke maybe....😁
