25 Years Later, I’m On Teri’s Side, But Here’s How I Feel About The Rest Of The “Soul Food” Characters
1. Big Mama
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett CollectionMiss thang can’t cook. Bless her heart though. Bird was a young entrepreneur who was honestly trying her best at adulting. But sis, why would you ask your ex to hook your husband up with a job? And then poor Lem who was so thrilled that he didn’t even make the connection at first… Just a sticky situation, but I do believe her heart was in the right place. If there was ever a sequel to this movie, which please let’s not, but if there was, I know Bird would be 1,000 times more mature because it’s the growth for me. So I just blame her foolishness on her youth. It happens.
5. Kenny
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett CollectionKenny. As great of a father Kenny is, I just can’t forget how he went to the skating rink with Teri and went home with Max. LOL. And the way Teri fell during skating and nobody cared. Like, siiiirrrr, I’m crying. Kennnnnny made one bad choice, but I guess he’s cool.
6. Simuel
20th Century FoxHe’s not a family member, but he slithers around enough to be included. It was bad enough being Bird’s (or should I say Cola’s) ex, but to rub in Lem’s face that he pulled some strings to get him hired, well, he deserved to get knocked out the way he did in the cafeteria. He’s downright grimy, but at the same time, he doesn’t pretend to be anything else, and I kinda appreciate that. I also respect how he knows what he wants and goes after it. Listen, he’s a man with taste, and, he got moneyyyyyy.
7. Maxine
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett CollectionWhen I was younger, Maxine was my favorite because 1) Vivica A. Fox, 2) she was outspoken and direct, and 3) she was always ready to pull up and have Bird’s back. Buuuuut I grew older and realized she was the most toxic sister of them all, always picking fights with Teri and taking her man back in the day. When she compared herself to her sisters, “You got your own shop, and Teri’s got a great job at the firm; shoot, all I got is a husband and some kids,” I realized she might be a bit jealous of Teri’s success.
8. Lem
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett CollectionNot even five minutes into the movie we see Lem dancing with “that hoochie coochie mama with her fat ass,” ON HIS WEDDING DAY! He made a lot of mistakes, and for what it’s worth, he did seemingly learn from them, trying to build a better life post-incarceration… But one thing I cannot forgive is how he pushed Bird. Regardless of how he downplays himself storming into the salon, he DID in fact put his hands on Bird, and that’s a no-no.
9. Miles
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett CollectionAside from his entanglement with Faith, I actually think Miles is a pretty decent man who did not have the support of his wife and unfortunately acted out on that. All I hear is “Girl, I care about you. I’m there for you, so why don’t you care for me like I care ’bout you.” Aw, Miles, he was a bit heartbroken and simply fell out of love with Teri. His actions are not justified by any means, but I do think Teri and Miles were a power couple and they could’ve worked it out.
10. Cousin Faith
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett CollectionFaith is definitely a free spirit who goes whichever way the wind blows. That’s as nice as I can put it. She’s one heck of a dancer though. Admit it! You have that audition song in your head now, don’t you? And I know you’ve tried to hit a few steps after watching her chassé across the floor. That grab-grab, twist thing with the hips is a classic. Regardless of how great of a dancer she is, when it comes to family, Faith is THE WORST. She’s got a long list of don’t do’s, starting with crashing at your cousin’s house and sleeping with her husband…
