~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SynopsisSet in Chicago, Illinois, Soul Food, told through the eyes of 11-year-old Ahmad Chadway (Hammond), follows the trials of the Joseph family, a close-knit African American family that gets together to have Sunday dinner together every week, with plenty of soul food to go around. Mother Joseph (Hall) has three daughters, who each have had varying success in life: oldest daughter Teri (Williams) has suffered relationship problems ever since her younger sister Maxine stole and married Teri's boyfriend Kenny Chadway. Teri's current husband, Miles (Beach), desires to follow his dreams of being an R&B musician. Youngest Joseph daughter Tracy (nicknamed "Bird") has just opened a barbershop/beauty parlor, and the family is uneasy about her marriage to Lem Van Adams (Phifer), an ex-convict. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ These problems are complicated when Mother Joe, the glue that holds the family together, suffers a debilitating stroke. Without her guidance, the family begins to fall apart: Teri takes in her troubled cousin Faith (Gina Rivera), who begins flirting with Miles. As an ex-con, Lem cannot find a job, so Bird makes an uneasy deal with an ex-boyfriend Simuel (Mel Jackson) to get Lem a job. By contrast, Kenny and Maxine are reasonably stable, and expecting their third child, but Ahmad, their oldest child, is worried about the state of his extended family, and conspires to find a way to bring them all back together. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ AwardsWilliams won an Image Award for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture"; Fox was also nominated for the award.
