“Wonderfully acted and well-written comedy/drama (more drama, though) about an extended family who spend their sundays together with a huge dinner. Whatu0026#39;s on the menu? Soul Food of course!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut when Big Mama Joe (and the glue of the family) falls into a coma the family fall out, itu0026#39;s up to Maxineu0026#39;s boy Ahmad, (and story narrator) to bring the big family together again for another sunday dinner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course when portraying a realistic family it helps to have good actors, and with a stellar cast including Vanessa L. Williams, Vivica A. Fox and Nia Long they pull it off successfully.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust like what the tagline says: Reality with a bite.”
