There was a Tv series based on the Movie

[@stevejones6881]

@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb as good as the movie was, the TV series was equally good. Usually, when a movie is turned into a TV series (or vise versa) it does not turn out well. S/F is the exception. I loved them both.

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Rewatching Soul Food 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. Here are some fun facts: The late Whitney Houston & Halle Berry were considered for the role of Terri.

[@Fluer-de-Lis]

Terri was the mistreated one

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@@Fluer-de-Lis I agree. Big Momma set the tone for how the family treated Terri.

[@adondrebrown3646]

Most definitely was mistreated and used like she was a bank

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@@adondrebrown3646 Every family has a Terri. They’re the most successful one of the family, labeled as bougie or uppity because they moved away from their hometown & the family leeches off of them.

[@adondrebrown3646]

@@therealmarlonbellamy yes and it’s so said bro. When they said she was wrong for how she treated Miles they don’t understood she don’t know how to be supportive because all her family does is use her and treat her like 💩 the men in Terri life has done the same and cheated on her so when she comes across another man she’ll always be that way cause of those old scars steady being a reminder and reopened

FUN FACT: you said Vanessa Williams a.k.a. Terri, looked like Tyra Banks. The funny thing is that Showtime ended up having a show based off this movie called soul Food. Actress Nicole Ari Parker played Terri, the character Vanessa Williams played. She looks a lot more like Tyra Banks. And in one of the episodes, the sisters discovered that their father had another child out of wedlock, who was played by Tyra Banks. So on the TV show version, Tyra Banks played their half sister. And they noted how she looked like Terri.

[@georgeoliver2539]

Nawl bro I think they was born in the 2000s.... But I think they should fasho do some music reactions to these groups

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

@@bigb2494 FACTS. The film was his ex wife's movie. The labels and Management killed plans for a Album (Milestone). And The Hailey Bros were Beefing with Devante over contracts and the 💰. Beginning of the end. 💰

[@JMac7395]

Faith 100% targeted Miles the moment she stepped into Terri's home. She was eavesdropping on Miles & Terri's arguments all the time. She took advantage of their strained marriage. Miles took advantage of the attention Faith showed him. Yes, Terri was negligent to her husband but that doesn't justify his cheating. Other than not supporting his music career, Terri seemed devoid of intimacy or affection towards Miles. My guess is that Terri is still jaded from having her heart broken all those years ago. Also, the entire family, with exception to Lem, took full advantage of Terri financially. They felt that since Terri was the most financially successful she should be responsible for all the bills. Honestly, when Maxine revealed that she filled a cease & desist to stop the house from selling, I would've said with a big smile "have fun paying those taxes" & walked away.

[@tdomonique504]

Definitely don’t agree with them using her for her money but as far as heartbreak… I don’t think her and Kenny were serious like that. ( didn’t look like it) And if she hasn’t recovered from that, that’s a personal issue she should have worked on by now cause they are happily married with kids at this point. Like work your issues out before you get married, no one should have to deal with your emotional baggage. She treated Mikes like shit… no he shouldn’t have cheated… absolutely wrong for that but I won’t pretend like I don’t understand him checking out on her. Terri was cold and stuck up… and it was the entire movie. Like did she ever even smile? Who wants to be around someone like that… I sure as hell wouldn’t. Then she stuck her nose in Lem and Bird’s business and made shit worse. I don’t think she was a villain but I also don’t think she was a full out victim either. You attract the energy you give out.

[@laurynalana1876]

I respectfully disagree 💯. Faith wasn’t after miles at all. She was after a dream and so was he. They just had something in common and understood each each other, which is what led up to that vulnerable moment, which they instantly regretted. Plus, you know the faith in the movie isn’t the same as the faith in the show. When Terry says what are you gonna do run up mama’s credit? She did that in the movie not the show. Otherwise Terry would’ve said run up mama’s credit again.

[@antoinettetruss1991]

​@@tdomonique504you are forgetting that miles is her second husband her first husband cheated on her too if I remember correctly. And I don't think her lack of desire for intimacy was from the baggage she was being used as a piggy bank as often as possible by her family and the man that she married that was handsome stable and dependable decided he wanted to make a huge life change that will lead her to be more responsible for their livelihood while she was already stressed out of her mind taking care of her ungrateful behind family. If miles was a good husband he would've waited until things calmed down before full on quitting his job to pursue music.

[@wrightfam9435]

This reminds me of my family back then we used to eat good have fun but i never noticed until I got older how the women in our family got along with each other but they always didn't see eye to eye until I grew up and my older sister told me but we were always close and still is

[@JusticeLong3317]

When rewatching the movie I noticed that Terri and Ahmad do seem to have a special bond. No matter what Terri and Maxine were going through Ahmad could always call on her. I think the reason for this is because deep down side Terri feels that Miles should have been hers.

[@tdomonique504]

You mean Kenny?… Miles was Terri’s husband. And if you watch the series.. the bond you are referring to is just a family bond. He had it with Bird too! And in the series you will also find out why Kenny and Terri would have never worked out. Kenny is a very traditional man, he didn’t even want Max to work… Terri is way too modern for that, lol.

[@laurynalana1876]

The series is more serious because there’s more crazy stuff that happens there. Like here in the movie when Terry says, “run up mama’s credit or make her cosign on a car” in the series, Faith actually does that but not in the movie.

[@stevejones6881]

Enjoyed the review. This was always one of my fav movies. The story line never gets old - you can rewatch this movie 1000 times and still enjoy it. You guys should watch Antwone Fisher (starring Denzel Washington). It's another great movie with a black cast. It's VERY heavy so keep ya tissues handy.

[@TheBashley]

10:40 scene. Those are individual singers but created a group called Milestone for this movie. There is a music video to this song

[@cinemeleon2808]

Ever notice how for men, crashing out when they catch their woman cheating is expected from them? But if a woman crashes out over her man cheating, she is considered crazy. Why do you think that is? Women have every reason to express their anger too.

[@derickspencejr.6998]

Thank you!!! It’s a freakin movie. Personally I like their take on it. They’re enjoying the movie and I do too.

[@laurynalana1876]

I like the movie but it makes me so mad because every adult in the family is an asshole. That’s why they can’t get along with one another without Joe. Also why Ahmad felt the need to lie to them just so they could be together. And when he told him that in the end, they were all silent because he was right.

Such a classic!! I used to think Teri was the worst years ago. Now looking back she was 100% understandable. They picked and used Teri to her breaking point. Her own man cheating on her again was the icing on the cake but not in a good way. She should have known not to leave her skankie cousin around Miles alone.

I love this movie. I was on Teri side the entire movie. Her family uses her for her wealth and money

[@tdomonique504]

They definitely used her.. she should have been out her foot down on that.. but make no mistake.. Terri was stuck up bitch… I don’t think she smiled once throughout the entire movie. And as messed up as Miles was for cheating, I’m surprised he hadn’t been left her… nobody wants to be around ppl with negative energy like that. Navigating around ppl like that is emotional draining. Terri needed therapy.. which she finally gets in the series Soul Food. Now that’s when I actually felt bad for her… cause Damon put her through the ringer.

Yes, that’s true but at the same time, Terry did wrong things too. Such as setting Lem up & him getting arrested & telling him birds pregnant & the argument at the hospital she’s bragging about how she’s a lawyer making it seem like she’s better than everyone.
