LOW BUDGET SOULFOOD

THIS MOVIE WAS OK. ITS A GHETTO VERSION OF THE MOVIE "SOULFOOD". THE ACTING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT OVERALL THE MOVIE WAS FUNNY AND WATCHABLE. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF LOW BUDGET MOVIES, THIS IS A GREAT ONE TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION. July 2, 2008

Low budget funny

I thought this movie was very low budget, however, still funny. It wasn't side cracking funny, but being as though this may be true to life families somewhere in this country (not mine), that just made it more hilairous. I've seen the movie quite a few times and still manage to get some good laughs in. June 16, 2008

very funny

I rented this movie prior to ordering it. Not really being a fan of so-called comedies....I can honestly say that I found this movie to be funny. I expected to see an overgrown "Urkel" but was pleasantly surprised by Jaleel White's performance. He was funny but not over the top nerdy. I am somewhat surprised that many people did not find the film funny or maybe I am surprised that I actually found it to be funny. I have to agree with the reviewer's comments that the film is stereotypical but I have not found one comedy yet that is not. As I previously stated, I am not much for comedies but this one did make me laugh and I think that all of the characters were pretty funny. Maybe it would be better to recommend that you rent it first (though I will definitely watch it again). December 5, 2007

Funny movie!!!

I quite enjoyed the movie, I don't get the reviews put up here. Who Made the Potato salad was a valid comedic joke that I've heard alot at dinners and black gatherings!! haha i'm laughin now. I go around asking randomly "Who Made the Potato Salad".

Anyway about the movie. It's basically Guess Who's Coming to Dinner/Guess who (newer updated version) except instead of it being a black guy or white guy (Guess who-Ashton Kutcher) it's a copper! aka 5.0 aka Pig (in the moive) aka Shaft (in the movie) aka Po-Po aka Urkel (Jaleel White). haha It's sorta he's dorky but uppity meeting the slightly ghetto family of his fiancees. The mom in Boomerang who makes the chittlins is in it. Her part stood out the most and I was on the floor laughing at her and her husband (comedian from Comic view with the red hair. He also played the dad of the guy who Debo stole the bike from in the First Friday movie)

I'll have to watch it again b/c I didn't knwo it was a Thanksgiving setting.

Ummm there should be jokes for everyone in this movie. I thought the first scene was hilarious. The plastic cover on the couch was funny (you can relate to that right!)

Ummm there's two parts that might make it uncomfortable to watch with your folks. The cursing (yeah I agree very excessive and the n-word) and then Jaleel waking up with a morning w--d. (i laughed at that b/c that's relatable

Check out this movie and also check out the new movie "the salon" (probably should buy that) September 17, 2007

Funny

I enjoyed this movie. I was glad to see Jaleel White acting again. It's not a block buster, but good for DVD and funny too! May 18, 2007
