Soul Plane Trailers

Following a ridiculously awful flight that leads to his pet's death, Nashawn Wade files a lawsuit against the airline, and wins a multimillion-dollar settlement. Determined to create a better flying experience, Nashawn starts his own airline, one that caters to an African-American clientele. Going into business with a tricked-out plane piloted by the smooth Capt. Mack, the airline hits a snag when it has to deal with the family of Elvis Hunkee.

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
thirstypony To be honest, this movie was not as bad as the countless reviews have been saying, so I'll be nice and give this a 5. It was an entertaining film, mostly because of the infused hip-hop dance jams used, but for the humor of the movie? Eh…not so much. Very crude, nasty, derogatory jokes only go so far before you can't bear to hear or see anymore. One of the very first scenes where the guy gets stuck in the toilet and nasty bathroom related sound effects are used almost ended it for me there. The countless stereotypes (black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Muslim, homosexual) is the director thinking "Hey,if we mix all of these different styles of people together and poke fun at them we can get a funny movie!" The movie is about as funny as a picture of Joan Rivers in a bathing suit.This movie gives the black culture a bad name and even Snoop Dog couldn't save it. The special effects guy must have been asleep at the switch because they were plane (pun intended) awful. Monique was hilarious in this film acting like her usual "Oooh, you go girl!" self; everyone else just sucked. What's sad is that towards the end the film decided to get serious and incorporated a love story involving the father and daughter which seemed ridiculous in the context of this film. It's not a downright terrible movie. You could probably watch this with your friends and get a couple of laughs out of it. Just don't think of it as some sort of artistic painting of the black culture.
ayboday I gave Soul Plane the benefit of the doubt and thought there would actually be something of comedic value in it. Im not black, but that does not mean I cant appreciate black comedy. I know that because I happen to enjoy watching the Wayans Bros, Good Times and other series. I've seen crap movies and Im not easily repulsed. As for Soul Plane, I didn't even bother finishing it. Don't know if they managed to land the plane and I couldn't care less. It would be unfair to say I didn't find some parts funny as I did laugh, but I also laugh at Youtube videos of skateboarders falling on their nuts so that doesn't say much. The men in the movie were like a bunch of howling horny hyenas in mating season looking to "get some" whenever and where ever possible. And we wonder why all those stereotypes don't seem to disappear. To summarize: Soul Plane makes the Harold and Kumar series look like The Godfather.
clerkmallrat This movie was just horrendous. How could anybody like this movie, and for the ones who liked it because of the jokes, they should really take a long hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if stereotypes are not bad. Ignoring the face of the racial stereotypes, this was just awful. It never had its moments, if it paid homage to 1980's, "Airplane!", it needs to pay some more. Awful acting, terrible script writing, even for a movie with Mo'Nique or Tom Arnold. This movie was bad from the beginning, but people might have seen the whole thing, by the thought that the plane would crash. One of the worse movies ever, stay away.
Larry Peebles ...but I love this movie. For what it's worth, I am a white gay male of well-above-average intelligence....but I laugh my ass off every time I see this movie. As completely mindless, silly, joyful entertainment, I rank it up there with other classics (in my mind) like "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "Half Baked," and the "Scary Movie" offerings. Lighten up, light up, and enjoy! (For God's sake, at least there's plenty of eye candy.) My favorite moments: (1) Any scene with Kevin Hart, who is friggin' gorgeous; (2) Mo'Nique; there ain't never 'nuff 'Nique---beauty, brains, humor---man, she's the answer; (3) "I'm a playah!" (4) Method Man is adorable (regardless of what my friends say), and last, but far from least....Snoop! If Snoop's in it, I love it!
