Recently found this channel after coming across your Blown Away review (the one with the Coreys) which has always been a guility pleasure flick for me. Loving the archives so far. WIth regards to your assessment of Terri's demeanor that more or less comes from the fact that she was the overachiever in the family. She was the one everyone expected the most out of and as a result she put extra pressure on herself to succeed. WIth that success came resentment as she became the defacto savior for the family whenever things were in shambles. Essentially she's bitter because she felt like she was always there for the familiy, but the family wasn't always there for her.

Especially with a minimum of 2 of her female family members screwed/stole her man from her!

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you very much!! Glad you found us. Totally agree with you! Terri’s resentment is misunderstood right up until the rest of the fam just assumes she’ll pay off the hospital bills.

I feel more for Teri quite honestly, because the whole family only sees & uses her as a cash cow. Momma Joe isn't a real good mother in my eyes she berates Teri but puts Maxine & Bird on a pedestal. If my daughter stole my other daughters bf she's getting her ass beat & now Teri has to see her ex not only marry her sister but she's stuck with him for the rest of her life. Teri isn't without her flaws too but her family takes advantage of her because she makes more money than them their mother should've been hard on Max & Bird they would be successful like their big sister. I had an idea for a sequel after the money has been found everyone takes their cut even those that shouldn't get it. Then the money runs out again the family turns to Teri this time it's the last straw for her. Teri is offered an out when she's offered a position from one of the bosses who's retiring in New Zealand Teri wanting to be free from her family & the drama takes the job. Then we get shocking news the family learns that Momma Joe wasn't the saintly matriarch they thought she was. Turns out she had cheated on her husband with another man it was her former high school sweetheart. He was her true love but he didn't feel the same way he returned to town when he came back briefly from the military. They hooked up she got pregnant she thought the pregnancy would make him stay but he told her he didn't love her like she wanted him to so he leaves. Momma Joe passes the baby off as her husband's they would go on to have 2 more daughters. The child that was born out of wedlock was Teri.

Wow!! That is a pretty great pitch for a sequel. Nice job!! 🙏

Soul food is a good movie, not top of my list of films but it's good. Family doesn't come without problems and there was lots of stuff going on. Thank you for theses reviews.

[@KisstheReviews]

Totally agree with that!! We appreciate you, my friend.

[@TimHoward-n6j]

It has a great soundtrack, still listens to it after all of these years.

[@KisstheReviews]

Not one lie told yet!!

[@josiahgreen242]

The original version of that song was done by Debarge which were a huge R&B group in the 80s. The song was also sampled by another huge R& B group called “ Black Street” which had a big hit a year before this movie and before 2pac’s version… Also the two guys in Miles group were not just Babyface’s brothers but apart of a very well known R&B group called “After 7” which were well known on black radio.. funny video as always but I wanted to give you guys some needed facts.

[@KisstheReviews]

Appreciate you commenting! We both are huge R&B fans, especially of those 90’s groups, but you know we need all the facts we can get here. Research is not part of our job description. 😂😂😂

[@josiahgreen242]

@@KisstheReviews lol no worries. Again love the videos, been watching and subscribed since Covid.

[@Echoe_DsaVoy]

That group is actually called "after 7" Babyface brothers great group

[@KisstheReviews]

I literally started listening to them on Spotify as I’m replying to you. Crazy I never knew about them. I was big into Babyface, Tony Rich, Blackstreet, Joedci, etc…

[@Suggesttt]

Mic sounds good Corey 👍🏼

[@KisstheReviews]

Appreciate you, my friend! Had to upgrade for y’all.

[@esjay-rh7wx]

Fun fact: The thot cousin Faith is played by Gina Rivera, who played Morgan Freeman's niece in "Kiss the Girls," the first movie you guys reviewed for this channel.

[@KisstheReviews]

Wow!! That’s a great fact!
