I at first thought Terri was a jerk as a child, but now that I'm older. Her sister stole her man, her husband slept with her cousin, and they always called her for money because she had the most successful career. I feel her anger and frustration now.
Yeah, me,too.It's just the way it be.Sometimes family members can backstabbers, too.You know what they say blood not thicker than water.Family can bring you down like a stranger would.Keep your friends, and enemies close.
It's sad to see all of these people condoning or making excuses for him cheating. He had a reason to be unhappy but if you're unhappy either talk to your spouse about it or man-up and get a divorce. You don't sleep with your spouse's cousin under any circumstances.
Facts! He could’ve decided to separate or go to marriage counselor. He decided to cheat. Teri wasn’t a perfect spouse but with her job AND paying for her families things with no thank you from any of them. She was beat, stressed out.
She should have been sneaking out the back door when Miles was leaving out the front door. Check out 1:42 when Teri turns her attention (and fury) from Miles to Faith. That trick really was stupid. I would have been out of there after she came at me with that knife; I wouldn't have tried to explain Jack!
Terri really represents the pressure and stress placed on the responsible and successful members of black family. They’re burdened with expectations and often times the family takes for granted their strength!
When Teri says,"No one is paying taxes or utilities on this house except me! I'm selling the house!" That was her cry for help, she was telling them she needed their help! She was implying, "Help me out by helping to pay Big Mama's medical bills so I don't have to sell the house!"
I sympathize with Teri. She just had one too many responsibilities on her hands. Faith and Miles did her wrong. And Maxine just happens to be celebrating her eleventh anniversary with the man that was originally Teri's boyfriend. This knife scene was epic. Good movie. I wish RUclips would upload it for free.
And they made Teri out to be an all bitchy character throughout the movie, most of what she did was unselfish and she winded up footing most of the family's financial responsibility. Family members got mad at her when she expresses the fact that she's tired of always having to come out the pocket or cover someone else's tracks. They did her character so wrong in this movie, luckily in the HBO series that it was made into, Teri was made out to be more seem more nicer and softer and more relatable. Nicole Ari Parker played the hell out that role of Teri Joseph.
I honestly can’t stand Maxine in this movie. What kind of woman would steal her sister’s boyfriend? She always puts Teri down and picks on her. Teri is the one who helps the whole family out financially and instead of being grateful everyone does her wrong. She seems tired of being betrayed and let down by her family.
Maxine got on my nerves. Of course she didn't want Faith living with her. She's the same kind of woman. After all, that's exactly how she got her husband.
They treated Teri so awful in this movie. When I was younger I thought she was just a sourpuss but now that I'm older, I see where she's coming from. They all took her for granted. And I find it hilarious that Max looks all shocked at Miles when she stole Kenny from Teri when they were younger.

I didn't like how the family treated Terri it was very fucked up that she had to go through watching her sister steal her man and get married with kids, her cousin sleeping with her husband and yet she pays for everything and do everything and she don't get treated right!!!!
True but Terri be boasting way too much like the beginning of the movie wen she says she payed for the wedding she got some problems just like tha rest of em
+Draee Tha God I'm not sure if it's really boasting; seems like her sisters expect her to back them financially instead of appreciating it. Like in this scene, Max was quick to 'decide' that Teri should pay for everything and the rest of them just pay them back. Teri paid for Bird's shop AND her wedding. She was even the one who called the grimey cousin when they though Lem beat Bird's ass. She definitely wasn't perfect, but is seems to me that some of that tough exterior comes from her being wronged too many times....
Joshua McDowell Terri being a highly experienced and talented lawyer would have been been even more of a reason why it would have been hard for her to get away with this. Chasing after a person with a deadly weapon then stabbing them would be hard changes to walk away from without punishment. She's knows the law, knows the lawyers that will be most likely anxious to prosecute her and probably familiar with the judge, and most importantly getting a jury to sympathize for you and go against the obvious verdict. You can always think that using the first thing that comes to mind as a defense of what to do will get you off. You sometimes gotta think about later on down the line. Non of those two hoes would be worth going to jail over, getting a criminal record, nor facing prison time.
This is a really deep scene. So sad and emotional, especially at the end when Terri cries, breaks down that tough exterior and melts into the arms of the youngest sister. It's a real tear jerker. Kudos to super beautiful and talented Vanessa Williams for playing this character so brilliantly.
I just recently watched this movie. I never realized how horrible they treated Terri. Yeah Terri had her issues, but she had every right to say "Fuck the family". Her sister stole her boyfriend from her then married him and had children. She pays for everything. Then her husband cheated on her with Faith. What kills me is that the movie made it seem like Terri was bitter and a bitch, but she was just clearly hurt. However, no one, hardly big mama ever stopped and thought how Terri felt but was always in her pockets.
This are old age, destructive lessons of the black community - supporting your family when you actually did what it took to succeed. Yeah I believe in helping family, but not at the expense of your own life.
@@brittanym.perrodin647 Uggggh I see it in other cultural communities myself, one person is doing all the giving because "they are supposed to" but no one bats an eye at people doing nothing but taking.
You better say it!!!! I have a family member who always wants someone to give them something but she will not give you a stick of gum!!!! She loves to play the victim too when she’s usually the villain.
Yeah, after awhile I too realized Big Mama failed her daughter she & her other daughters dumped so much on Teri & treated her horribly & to have your sibling steal your bf then marry & have kids with him? Teri should've up & left to start anew somewhere else then Big Mama would've started preaching to her about the importance of family "Lady get out of here with that bs you failed as a mother & protector." She allowed her daughter to suffer as well as put pressure on her to succeed so she can make the big bucks to support the entire family. The allows her other daughter to steal her daughters man & have kids with him Big Mama should've straightened Maxine out real quick. What Big Mama should've done was have all 3 daughters heads in the books. By the time they got out of college Teri, Maxine & Birdie would be successful women leading their own lives not dumping everything on one child to bail the family out of everything. I'm surprised Teri hasn't had a stroke herself would her family come to her aid when she needed them? Probably not, so no Big Mama wasn't doing her kids an favors by placing everything on Teri & expect her to put up & shut up.
@@melb8352 Maxine shouldn’t have been in the conversation to me cuz she wasn’t gonna pitch in anything at all. She doesn’t make any money. I bet Faith has more $ than her. Faith is the only 1 that didn’t ask Terri for money
Maxine never pays for anything so I don’t know why she’s in this conversation at all. If anything, Faith should be in the conversation not Max because Faith actually makes money. I know how people feel about faith but I’m sure she would’ve had no problem helping 2 pay for her aunts med bills.
I used to hate Teri when I was younger, but now that I grew up I am her. The financially stable child that has to "Save the Family" every single time. It's hard. I understand her pain. Her pain goes unnoticed by her loved ones until she can't hold it in any longer.
Am I the only one on Teri's side? I guess it comes from being the oldest. They act like Teri worked hard to get them digits to fund all of them. Like how could Maxine volunteer her money like that once again? Did anyone reimburse her for Bird's wedding?
I'm glad Terri saw that in her own eyes because i don't think they was going to tell her! I know she hasn't been supporting Miles but that don't give you a right to go around fucking her family like df?!
Terri's family take her for granted, financially and always expect her to pay for everything and bail them out. She is being punished for being responsible and successful.
I love how Terry zoomed in on Faith as she was locked on Miles! Nobody be noticing that head snatch! The sad thing about this is that she's been treated this way by two family members. One of which had the nerve to look at miles like she's disappointed. Vivica!
Yep, Teri should have followed Monique's (from Queens of Comedy) black woman 101 rule, "NO OTHER FEMALE IS GONNA SLEEP HERE or be in my house alone with my husband when I'm not home, when I leave every bitch in the house gotta go to!" Cousin would have had to opt to stay at a hotel or in a shelter, with her fucked up family reputation.
+Tampabruh I never heard Mo'Nique say that. She stated she and her husband are in an open marriage and they don't keep secrets from each other. Sex happens outside of the marriage but they're honest with each other. I saw an article stating why Mo'Nique allows her husband to cheat on her. That is good advice though because no matter how close you are to someone, things can happen!
+Janelle Allen Watch "Queens of Comedy" special it came around 2000, when she was married to her first husband (Mark Jackson). She made jokes in that comedy special saying she doesn't allow other women in her house alone when she's not home. THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO. WATCH THE SPECIAL YOU'LL SHE! The husband (Sidney Hicks) who she is married to now and has an allegendly open relationship with is a man who started off being great friends with during their days in high school but never pursued her until after she divorce her 1st husband. The their relationship dynamics may be totally different BUT I WASN'T REFERRING TO THAT RELATIONSHIP.....!
Ummm yeah definitely more disappointed with miles because Miles took the vows with Teri.. Kenny never made any vows with Teri..... Boyfriend is no where near the status of a husband.. Ijs.. This is pretty different.. Boyfriend and girlfriend is one thing... Husband and wife is another... So yeah...
Her sister stole her man, her cousin slept with her husband, and she was the ONLY one making the payments on the house they grew up in. She had every right to be angry, her own sisters was pimping Terry her whole life. Despite her successful career, she was still Human.
It’s a very natural reaction: the only worse thing than actually harming someone who cheated on you, is FORCING them to live in a world where neither you, nor the person they cheated on you with, exist. It’s the ultimate revenge. If your man wants both, give him a world where he has neither.
Now that I am older I feel terri's pain first with her having to pay for everything having to make the hard decisions and then basically getting slapped in the face by her cousin who she LET stay with her knowing the type of woman she is !!!!
It's amazing how when we get older our opinions change drastically. Everyone has their faults but Terri didn't deserve how the family treated her. (ATM) Automatically Teri's Money
I feel it because in my family anytime anyone needed money or anything they came to me for it and I gave and gave and gave and never asked for it back and didn’t even expect it back. Then fast forward to now I’m the outcast in the family because I refused to let my mother keep treating me and my family like crap and now so many relationships are ruined because of her. I don’t even have a relationship with my two sisters, my mother, my nieces and nephews, and so on when we use to be so close. Their kids are basically grown but I had kids late in life so my girls are 2 and 4 and they don’t even know majority of their family because as my sister says it her kids are grown and she don’t want to be around little kids who cry and are loud. So yeah they used me until I finally said no and now I’m the outsider missing my sisters and our relationship…….

i find it odd that Maxine and Kenny are acting all upset with Miles like they didn't do the exact same thing to Terri when they got together 😂 Maxine, you messed with Kenny when he was still your sister's man. SIT DOWN GIRL. You are Faith and Miles is Kenny 😂😂
It's not easy being the eldest , take myself for instance . Teri spoke her mind that I can understand , The husband had an affair with her younger cousin Faith , her sister Maxine was her sibling rival , Bird was her youngest who stood by her side thick and thin . Ahmad her nephew whose her favorite to be around with. well done Vanessa ! , you're soon to be legendary
I am so happy that they showed Ahmad’s reaction to all of this at 1:39 because everybody FORGETS ABOUT THE CHILDREN !!! They forget about what we are teaching and showing them.
@@shaquilleburton1611 & Max going like “Miles 😞” when she did the same thing but worse. I don’t get how people go off on Faith more cuz Max was worst. Max stole Terri’s man & expected Terri to pay 4 everything. Faith got vulnerable with Terri’s husband & b4 that already planned to leave & NEVER asked 4 money. Faith made her own
The main one I feel sorry for is Ahmad. Because it's sad that he has to see his own family act like this. Because like he said, they messed up the family. Good everything got better in the end.
Really great scene. Terri was going through a lot. Had her shit to deal with while the other family members expected her to handle the business of the other family members. I tell you, family sometimes are the worst to deal with.
IDK which husband was worse for Michael Beach. Miles in Soul Food or John in Waiting to Exhale. Cheating on beautiful women like Angela Bassett & Vanessa L Williams and both women were vengeful. Bernadine burned all his clothes, sold all his things, won a huge settlement in the divorce and slapped the fuck out of his mistress and with Terri he almost got killed.
“I felt that terry and miles could pay for everything and maybe we...” maybe? As an adult I feel terry’s anger on a personal level 🤦🏾♀️ They expected way too much of this woman and for all of it to happen on the day her sister is celebrating her anniversary with the man who cheated on Terri with her.
What's really messed up is during big momma's funeral Teri's crying no one's really comforting her she looks up and locks eyes with miles and he's holding hands with faith. Out of all places to do that they decide "Oh well we broke her heart and disrespected her by screwing around, why don't we show up to the funeral holding hands and add more fuel to her pain." Smh
I love Teri! When I first saw this years ago, I couldn’t stand her. I thought she was snobby and incredibly cold and bitter. But now the woman in me understands her. She always loved her family and tried to keep everything together, but got little to no appreciation. Then to be betrayed by your sister AND your cousin. That’s rough! I was so glad they did the series. You really got a chance to see beneath Teri’s surface. She’s my favorite!
First he dumped Bernadine for a white woman (Waiting to Exhale), the white woman didn't want him at the end of the movie, so he got with Terri, got a name change, didn't want her and ended up sleeping with her cousin. #wow
And before that he was Joe Darnell (Lean On Me) a struggling Inner-City teacher and Football Coach who couldn't please Joe Clark. That was a helluva come-up from teaching the hood in NJ to Arizona Legal CEO to trying to break in the music industry full time in Chicago. Terri didn't know about all of this mess and the kids and child support and alimony he was boning out? Maybe that's why she was cutting so many checks every month.
Then, he decided to change his name AGAIN and move to Baltimore. He became a deacon at a church to embezzle money to go back to being on top (First Sunday)
would have been even cooler if T would have turned around a slapped her to the ground and be like "I took you in when you ain't have shit" lol. But this was good cinematography here. I like how the chase scene was all dim and "Freddy" like. This 3 minutes deserves an Oscar in itself.
Really hits differently watching this as an adult. Having to put up with lying, cheating, users who throw the "but we're family" card left right and center... The only person paying for everything yet still having these freeloaders act like they have a say... I feel really sorry for this lady now.
In the movie Teri was ruthless (for a good reason too). In the TV show when it first aired I could see why she was the way she was. They took her for granted. Both Vanessa Williams and Nicole Ari Parker played the heck of that role.
I went crazy on my ex boyfriend just like her, pulled a knife and backed him into the fridge. It took every last ounce of my strength to stop myself from going further. When I found out he was cheating on me with my sister, I completely lost it. They'd break into my apartment when I wasn't there, do their nasty and leave. I started finding clues and confronted him about it and finally he confessed to everything. She would even pick him up in her car, take him somewhere and do it like that. I completely despise my sister. All my cousins stick up for her by saying "oh well she sleeps with everyone" that's no damn excuse. I understand the betrayal, it's beyond awful.
I need someone to explain how terry was paying the taxes and utilities on the house when Bird was living there with a job. They were all using her. If i was her I would have washed my hands of the situation. If you want the house fine, y’all pay for it I’m done.
Sadly Teri put up with so much. Her ex boyfriend and husband both cheating on her with Family members. Also Faith was sick to do something like that after they helped her like that.
Yup that's why women should be extremely careful whom they decide to be loyal too. Monogamy is made up tbh. Even in the wild females are not monogamous to the male, he is only used for breeding purposes.
Family does this too much.. The bunch of them will pick that one semi successful relative and lean on them for everything.. To the point were that one person becomes to frustrated that they then lash out in anger because they are tired of being used under the umbrella of "family".. Truth is if you are not kicking in financially to help take care of a sick relatives bills, then your mouth should be closed. Terri was right. Side note: Vanessa Williams is excellent at everything entertainment wise.
I remember a Poster saying something like,"Family will put you down with nasty words and then turn around and beg you for money with that same mouths that was saying those nasty things to you " 💡🤦♀️
Lol yeah I would. But this was Terri's breaking point. I was wondering when Terri was gonna lose it. Terri had been through so much with this family. Everybody has been asking her to do everything but Faith sleeping with Miles, I think that was the last straw
This movie pisses me off so bad😅 Maxine talking about some "Myles" as if she didn't do the same thing. And Faith had all the nerve to still be standing there.
I watched this as a kid and was ALWAYS on Terri side and never understood why they tried to make her look bad in this movie. And they tried to make her other sister the good one. No no no
ssissi gui Terri was trash just because she had the most money doesn’t excuse the fact that she was a terrible wife to Miles. I don’t even blame him for cheating Teri emasculated him, rejected him and didn’t support his dreams. Faith came up and treasured Teri’s trash. That ain’t Mile’s fault at all!
Teri was doing everything already, then Miles wants to make her pressure worse by quitting his job and having Terri’s burden even bigger? If him acting like a child excuses his behavior in your eyes, don’t ever be in a serious relationship.
@@BBoiiLite what ? He couldn't handle a woman like her. Just an insecure man who chose to cheat to hurt her. People don't understand that it's not about the money. It's about your own inner self confidence. That's where you get your power from not money.
I find it funny how Maxine and Kenny are acting considerate and sympathetic when they find out that Miles slept with Faith but in reality they both betrayed Teri in the past as they got together behind Teri's back like what? I'm confused? 😕🤔
Not that I'm defending them but they were also kids. You learn and grow up and realize that stuff you do as kids you don't do as adults. That said, Kenny and Max were meant for each other, crazy beginnings aside.
The woman with the knife is such an incredible actress. I am going through it bad right now. My ex husband molested a child. This happened years ago and he and I both worked with the same children. I forgot the name of this movie. However the moment where she cries has been running through my head. It is helping me let out a lot of my emotions. Whoever this woman is I'm very grateful that God allowed me to know this part of the movie. Bless you all and stay strong.
I at first thought Terri was a jerk as a child, but now that I'm older. Her sister stole her man, her husband slept with her cousin, and they always called her for money because she had the most successful career. I feel her anger and frustration now.

What kills me is that the movie made it seem like Terri was bitter and a bitch, but she was just clearly hurt. However, no one, hardly big mama ever stopped and thought how Terri felt but was always in her pockets.
This are old age, destructive lessons of the black community - supporting your family when you actually did what it took to succeed. Yeah I believe in helping family, but not at the expense of your own life.
You hit it right on!
@@brittanym.perrodin647 Uggggh I see it in other cultural communities myself, one person is doing all the giving because "they are supposed to" but no one bats an eye at people doing nothing but taking.
You better say it!!!! I have a family member who always wants someone to give them something but she will not give you a stick of gum!!!! She loves to play the victim too when she’s usually the villain.
Yeah, after awhile I too realized Big Mama failed her daughter she & her other daughters dumped so much on Teri & treated her horribly & to have your sibling steal your bf then marry & have kids with him? Teri should've up & left to start anew somewhere else then Big Mama would've started preaching to her about the importance of family "Lady get out of here with that bs you failed as a mother & protector." She allowed her daughter to suffer as well as put pressure on her to succeed so she can make the big bucks to support the entire family. The allows her other daughter to steal her daughters man & have kids with him Big Mama should've straightened Maxine out real quick. What Big Mama should've done was have all 3 daughters heads in the books. By the time they got out of college Teri, Maxine & Birdie would be successful women leading their own lives not dumping everything on one child to bail the family out of everything. I'm surprised Teri hasn't had a stroke herself would her family come to her aid when she needed them? Probably not, so no Big Mama wasn't doing her kids an favors by placing everything on Teri & expect her to put up & shut up.
when I was a kid and I used to watch movie. I never noticed how the lil dude was always in grown folks business. 😂😂😂 I would have got my ass whooped.

Right
1:07 jeez…
@@melb8352 Maxine shouldn’t have been in the conversation to me cuz she wasn’t gonna pitch in anything at all. She doesn’t make any money. I bet Faith has more $ than her. Faith is the only 1 that didn’t ask Terri for money
Maxine never pays for anything so I don’t know why she’s in this conversation at all. If anything, Faith should be in the conversation not Max because Faith actually makes money. I know how people feel about faith but I’m sure she would’ve had no problem helping 2 pay for her aunts med bills.
Same here. I don’t see why she did it on purpose
I used to hate Teri when I was younger, but now that I grew up I am her. The financially stable child that has to "Save the Family" every single time. It's hard. I understand her pain. Her pain goes unnoticed by her loved ones until she can't hold it in any longer.
Am I the only one on Teri's side? I guess it comes from being the oldest. They act like Teri worked hard to get them digits to fund all of them. Like how could Maxine volunteer her money like that once again? Did anyone reimburse her for Bird's wedding?
98% of the people who commented were on Teri's side.
Hauraunah I am on Teri's side too
Hauraunah Maxine needs to finish college and go to work like every wife and mother does.
I am with Terri too
I'm also on Teri's side.
First her sister, then her cousin smdh
shit sad af
Empress Naseeba ikr
and she was married before miles , he was a football player, he cheated too. she talks about on soul food TV series. Couldn't catch a break
Tiara Fairley Don't forget Damien cheated too with Christine. Though she forgave him and married him at the end.
LifeIsNotorious Well Teri is too hardnose if she wasn’t so ungrateful she will keep her man....
I'm glad Terri saw that in her own eyes because i don't think they was going to tell her! I know she hasn't been supporting Miles but that don't give you a right to go around fucking her family like df?!

Terri's family take her for granted, financially and always expect her to pay for everything and bail them out. She is being punished for being responsible and successful.

You don't let trash in your house period FAMILY or NOT.
LETHA MARTIN Ain’t that the truth, I must add you don’t let young loose girls live with you and your husband cousin or not.
Imunique Stephens The thing was, Faith is actually like 31, not at all that young.
@@nathanielwilson9067 young enough
Never let a straight woman in your house when you’re married. That’s like inviting your husbands mistress in the home
@@MsImy12 right on.
I love how Terry zoomed in on Faith as she was locked on Miles! Nobody be noticing that head snatch! The sad thing about this is that she's been treated this way by two family members. One of which had the nerve to look at miles like she's disappointed. Vivica!
Yep, Teri should have followed Monique's (from Queens of Comedy) black woman 101 rule, "NO OTHER FEMALE IS GONNA SLEEP HERE or be in my house alone with my husband when I'm not home, when I leave every bitch in the house gotta go to!" Cousin would have had to opt to stay at a hotel or in a shelter, with her fucked up family reputation.
+Tampabruh I never heard Mo'Nique say that. She stated she and her husband are in an open marriage and they don't keep secrets from each other. Sex happens outside of the marriage but they're honest with each other. I saw an article stating why Mo'Nique allows her husband to cheat on her. That is good advice though because no matter how close you are to someone, things can happen!
+Janelle Allen Watch "Queens of Comedy" special it came around 2000, when she was married to her first husband (Mark Jackson). She made jokes in that comedy special saying she doesn't allow other women in her house alone when she's not home. THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO. WATCH THE SPECIAL YOU'LL SHE! The husband (Sidney Hicks) who she is married to now and has an allegendly open relationship with is a man who started off being great friends with during their days in high school but never pursued her until after she divorce her 1st husband. The their relationship dynamics may be totally different BUT I WASN'T REFERRING TO THAT RELATIONSHIP.....!
Ummm yeah definitely more disappointed with miles because Miles took the vows with Teri.. Kenny never made any vows with Teri..... Boyfriend is no where near the status of a husband.. Ijs.. This is pretty different.. Boyfriend and girlfriend is one thing... Husband and wife is another... So yeah...
You start off as boyfriend and girlfriend before you become husband and wife. So yes boyfriend counts too, esp if y'all were in serious relationship.
That saying still holds true, "the ones closest to you, end up hurting you the most". You will never see it coming until its to late.
She didn't want to sell the house she was just tired of getting taken advantage of.
"Can we talk about what? Fuck you!" will forever be one of my favorite movie lines of all time.

She had a flashback of when Terri put her in that tight ass headlock

Shanoriya Robinson yep
LMAO! That was funny! Max must have thought she was coming for her!
I never noticed max running until now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel Terry on this one.
she not sorry. she's sorry because she got caught.
Her sister stole her man, her cousin slept with her husband, and she was the ONLY one making the payments on the house they grew up in. She had every right to be angry, her own sisters was pimping Terry her whole life. Despite her successful career, she was still Human.
This movie is my shit!! Black cinema classic!!! Vanessa Williams was acting right here!!
No but wait.....what about how FAST she changed directions with the 🔪 after seeing Faith... funny but not funny. Vanessa did that!!!
Ok
It’s a very natural reaction: the only worse thing than actually harming someone who cheated on you, is FORCING them to live in a world where neither you, nor the person they cheated on you with, exist. It’s the ultimate revenge. If your man wants both, give him a world where he has neither.
She did that....for us. Brava Queen
She was about to get to slicin
@@Blast2224 yes, it's a natural reaction in real life but remember, this is an actress...who did her thing
Now that I am older I feel terri's pain first with her having to pay for everything having to make the hard decisions and then basically getting slapped in the face by her cousin who she LET stay with her knowing the type of woman she is !!!!
iiamkee21 faith is just fukn nasty
It's amazing how when we get older our opinions change drastically. Everyone has their faults but Terri didn't deserve how the family treated her. (ATM) Automatically Teri's Money
Anyone who’s been financially exploited by family can feel every ounce of this.
I feel it because in my family anytime anyone needed money or anything they came to me for it and I gave and gave and gave and never asked for it back and didn’t even expect it back. Then fast forward to now I’m the outcast in the family because I refused to let my mother keep treating me and my family like crap and now so many relationships are ruined because of her. I don’t even have a relationship with my two sisters, my mother, my nieces and nephews, and so on when we use to be so close. Their kids are basically grown but I had kids late in life so my girls are 2 and 4 and they don’t even know majority of their family because as my sister says it her kids are grown and she don’t want to be around little kids who cry and are loud. So yeah they used me until I finally said no and now I’m the outsider missing my sisters and our relationship…….

i find it odd that Maxine and Kenny are acting all upset with Miles like they didn't do the exact same thing to Terri when they got together 😂 Maxine, you messed with Kenny when he was still your sister's man. SIT DOWN GIRL. You are Faith and Miles is Kenny 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thats why Maxine said that sorry ass "Miiiiles"
HELL YES MAN
I know right! Maxine and Kenny are the biggest hypocrites in the movie.
They were teenagers in high school, and they stayed together and had 2 children
Yeah but Terri and Kenny were not married though, not to mention they were in high school. He was not obligated to stay with Terri.
It's not easy being the eldest , take myself for instance . Teri spoke her mind that I can understand , The husband had an affair with her younger cousin Faith , her sister Maxine was her sibling rival , Bird was her youngest who stood by her side thick and thin . Ahmad her nephew whose her favorite to be around with.
well done Vanessa ! , you're soon to be legendary
I know what you mean. As the oldest child myself, I feel for Terri
Vanessa Williams performance is nothing short of Oscar-worthy. She absolutely killed it.
Now that we're all older/adults, we understand Terri's plight...

@@shaquilleburton1611 & Max going like “Miles 😞” when she did the same thing but worse. I don’t get how people go off on Faith more cuz Max was worst. Max stole Terri’s man & expected Terri to pay 4 everything. Faith got vulnerable with Terri’s husband & b4 that already planned to leave & NEVER asked 4 money. Faith made her own
The main one I feel sorry for is Ahmad. Because it's sad that he has to see his own family act like this. Because like he said, they messed up the family. Good everything got better in the end.
Ahmad like many other children will unfortunately be subjected to family drama. Sometimes it can't be helped. It's shame that it's like that though.
Some things have to fall apart to fall in place in the end...
at his age, I was exposed to a lot of family drama too. I had witness my parents arguing at around 9 or 10 years old and so much more.
I wonder how Ahmad is now. Witnessing everything. He probably have some psychological issues. At least. Just like many ppl who grow up in America
@@omegakong6847 Today, he’s a happy member of the Manosphere and GMB.
Really great scene. Terri was going through a lot. Had her shit to deal with while the other family members expected her to handle the business of the other family members. I tell you, family sometimes are the worst to deal with.
IDK which husband was worse for Michael Beach. Miles in Soul Food or John in Waiting to Exhale. Cheating on beautiful women like Angela Bassett & Vanessa L Williams and both women were vengeful. Bernadine burned all his clothes, sold all his things, won a huge settlement in the divorce and slapped the fuck out of his mistress and with Terri he almost got killed.

John was infinitely worse. At least Miles was sorry about what he did and he didn't do it to be malicious.

The most painful truth about betrayal is that it never comes from an enemy
And your own family
Aint that the truth 🎯🎯
@@jarek-bz4nf actually love, sometimes family is the enemy. Or just loved ones in general. Such as friends, or a significant other or a spouse
It comes from the person that you didn't KNOW that was your enemy
“I felt that terry and miles could pay for everything and maybe we...” maybe? As an adult I feel terry’s anger on a personal level 🤦🏾♀️
They expected way too much of this woman and for all of it to happen on the day her sister is celebrating her anniversary with the man who cheated on Terri with her.
What's really messed up is during big momma's funeral Teri's crying no one's really comforting her she looks up and locks eyes with miles and he's holding hands with faith. Out of all places to do that they decide "Oh well we broke her heart and disrespected her by screwing around, why don't we show up to the funeral holding hands and add more fuel to her pain." Smh
I never noticed he was holding Faith's hand. I'm about to go watch that part
Bad Writing/Directing.
They're weren't using hands...faith was just behind him...if you keep watching...it clearly shows them a good distance away
Wait.....they held hands?!
@@deljean yep look it up because the pain in Teri's eyes were just too much to bear
I love Teri! When I first saw this years ago, I couldn’t stand her. I thought she was snobby and incredibly cold and bitter. But now the woman in me understands her. She always loved her family and tried to keep everything together, but got little to no appreciation. Then to be betrayed by your sister AND your cousin. That’s rough! I was so glad they did the series. You really got a chance to see beneath Teri’s surface. She’s my favorite!
Vanessa Williams is a really great actress ! I felt her pain
I always die laughing at whoever auntie in the back saying "oh my goodness"

😂 me too!

First he dumped Bernadine for a white woman (Waiting to Exhale), the white woman didn't want him at the end of the movie, so he got with Terri, got a name change, didn't want her and ended up sleeping with her cousin. #wow
And before that he was Joe Darnell (Lean On Me) a struggling Inner-City teacher and Football Coach who couldn't please Joe Clark. That was a helluva come-up from teaching the hood in NJ to Arizona Legal CEO to trying to break in the music industry full time in Chicago. Terri didn't know about all of this mess and the kids and child support and alimony he was boning out? Maybe that's why she was cutting so many checks every month.
Then, he decided to change his name AGAIN and move to Baltimore. He became a deacon at a church to embezzle money to go back to being on top (First Sunday)

would have been even cooler if T would have turned around a slapped her to the ground and be like "I took you in when you ain't have shit" lol. But this was good cinematography here. I like how the chase scene was all dim and "Freddy" like. This 3 minutes deserves an Oscar in itself.

Really hits differently watching this as an adult. Having to put up with lying, cheating, users who throw the "but we're family" card left right and center... The only person paying for everything yet still having these freeloaders act like they have a say... I feel really sorry for this lady now.
In the movie Teri was ruthless (for a good reason too). In the TV show when it first aired I could see why she was the way she was. They took her for granted. Both Vanessa Williams and Nicole Ari Parker played the heck of that role.
I love how Bird knew her big sister needed a hug
Yeah that part was always touching and sweet.

I went crazy on my ex boyfriend just like her, pulled a knife and backed him into the fridge. It took every last ounce of my strength to stop myself from going further. When I found out he was cheating on me with my sister, I completely lost it. They'd break into my apartment when I wasn't there, do their nasty and leave. I started finding clues and confronted him about it and finally he confessed to everything. She would even pick him up in her car, take him somewhere and do it like that. I completely despise my sister. All my cousins stick up for her by saying "oh well she sleeps with everyone" that's no damn excuse. I understand the betrayal, it's beyond awful.
That's a bad family you got
@@daniboy4153 No. They aren't family. Family don't betray you.

I need someone to explain how terry was paying the taxes and utilities on the house when Bird was living there with a job. They were all using her. If i was her I would have washed my hands of the situation. If you want the house fine, y’all pay for it I’m done.
She's the family's black sheep. I know the feeling.

Sadly Teri put up with so much. Her ex boyfriend and husband both cheating on her with Family members. Also Faith was sick to do something like that after they helped her like that.

My question is why the hell Miles was still allowed in the house at the end of the movie?
A angry black woman with a knife in her hand or any object in her hand, is not good, lol.
It’s Domestic Violence
Terry went through a lot. Betrayed by her sister and boyfriend. Betrayed by her husband and cousin. Her family used her for her money and more.
Family does this too much.. The bunch of them will pick that one semi successful relative and lean on them for everything.. To the point were that one person becomes to frustrated that they then lash out in anger because they are tired of being used under the umbrella of "family".. Truth is if you are not kicking in financially to help take care of a sick relatives bills, then your mouth should be closed. Terri was right. Side note: Vanessa Williams is excellent at everything entertainment wise.
I remember a Poster saying something like,"Family will put you down with nasty words and then turn around and beg you for money with that same mouths that was saying those nasty things to you " 💡🤦♀️
Maxine hauled ass down that hallway 😂
melb290201 maybe she thought Terri was gonna hurt ha too because she stole Kenny away from her
While Kenny and bird were focused on stopping her
Yeah I just noticed that she went the other direction lol 😆😂 1:18
Miles looked scared as hell. He got the hell out of there
Lol yeah I would. But this was Terri's breaking point. I was wondering when Terri was gonna lose it. Terri had been through so much with this family. Everybody has been asking her to do everything but Faith sleeping with Miles, I think that was the last straw
@Mike James stfu
This movie pisses me off so bad😅 Maxine talking about some "Myles" as if she didn't do the same thing. And Faith had all the nerve to still be standing there.
She should've got an oscar for that scene.
Yea
I watched this as a kid and was ALWAYS on Terri side and never understood why they tried to make her look bad in this movie. And they tried to make her other sister the good one. No no no
ssissi gui Terri was trash just because she had the most money doesn’t excuse the fact that she was a terrible wife to Miles. I don’t even blame him for cheating Teri emasculated him, rejected him and didn’t support his dreams. Faith came up and treasured Teri’s trash. That ain’t Mile’s fault at all!
Teri was doing everything already, then Miles wants to make her pressure worse by quitting his job and having Terri’s burden even bigger? If him acting like a child excuses his behavior in your eyes, don’t ever be in a serious relationship.
@@BBoiiLite what ? He couldn't handle a woman like her. Just an insecure man who chose to cheat to hurt her. People don't understand that it's not about the money. It's about your own inner self confidence. That's where you get your power from not money.

@RandomFanatic Go ! I guess that makes sense and it's a possibility. 🤔
Not that I'm defending them but they were also kids. You learn and grow up and realize that stuff you do as kids you don't do as adults. That said, Kenny and Max were meant for each other, crazy beginnings aside.
Back when black movies had substance.
The woman with the knife is such an incredible actress. I am going through it bad right now. My ex husband molested a child. This happened years ago and he and I both worked with the same children. I forgot the name of this movie. However the moment where she cries has been running through my head. It is helping me let out a lot of my emotions. Whoever this woman is I'm very grateful that God allowed me to know this part of the movie. Bless you all and stay strong.
