Most of his dialogue sounds like it came straight out of a mediocre made-for-cable drama.

Tasty, but easily forgotten.

Soul Food is certainly digestible fare but somewhat lacking in nutritional value.

An overt desire to please often leaves Tillman relying on force-feeding techniques.

Soul Food aims to be a banquet of feelings, but mostly it serves up tripe.

An African American drama about the importance of ritual in holding families together.

Heartwarming but stilted domestic family drama

Soul Food serves up family melodrama-cum-comedy that's tasty and satisfying, if not particularly profound or original.
