Soul Food (1997)
One person can keep a family together and, when that one person is gone, a family can be torn apart. Soul Food centers on the trials of an extended African-American family, held together by longstanding family traditions which begin to fade as serious problems take center stage.

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

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