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.

The steaming platters of fried catfish, macaroni and cheese, sweet corn bread, and black-eyed peas that appear early and often in writer-director George Tillman Jr.'s sentimental family drama should be listed in the credits as costars.

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

Tillman is tremendously skilled at bridging the vast shifts in tone.

A hearty, old fashioned meal of a film.

Jan 13, 2008Love this movie...even though NO it does NOT try to be Friday(s)!! The family interactions are superiorly acted. Hard not to like most of these characters...deals with family rivalry....& what holds a family together!! UPLIFTING! even though of course there are REAL LIFE PROBLEMS!! Like for example Michael Beach's character stepping out n Vanessa Willaims' character....<div style="width:295px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/servlet/embed/photo/link/10563990"><img src="http://www.flixster.com/servlet/embed/photo/10563990.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">Flixster</a> - Share Movies</div></div>Teresa S Super Reviewer
