Most comments submitted to IMDb about "Soul Plane" are so negative that it would appear this film should not hold anyone's interest. While it is no masterpiece, the movie is not half as bad as most critics seem to indicate.
First of all, other mainstream spoofs have dealt with the same clichés one sees in "Soul Plane". Jesse Terrero, the director, shows a flair for the material. The director has gathered a lot of talented black entertainers in a comedy that is best watched with a lot of friends because there are some hysterical moments in it that are a riot.
It's true there are stereotypes, but it doesn't seem the creators of the film set out an agenda to hurt anyone. Some jokes play better than others, but with the right attitude, the movie proves to be fun. The use of some of the music plays well within the context of the film.
Kevin Hart, Tom Arnold, Snoop Dog, K.D. Cubert, the funny Mo'nique, and the beautiful Sofia Vergara make this a movie with a lot of laughs.
Instead of dwelling in the negative aspects of "Soul Plane", just relax, sit back and enjoy.

This movie wasn't too funny. It wasn't too horrible either. Just a fun ride aboard the Soul Plane. It's a black-owned flight service with a kick-ass disco, beautiful bar, and pumping stewards. The plot takes you through the whole idea of a black (not race or color, but 'style') -owned plane with the same style of black humor. At times, there are some great rare scenes like when the main character uses the 'normal' lavatory in the 'normal' plane. Check that out. There are lulls, however, and I find it most in the character who played the Soul Pilot. Watch to find out who it is. All in all, it's a fun movie. Tom Arnold adds to the fun with his 'cracker' attitude. This is one movie to watch when playing poker, when you're drunk, or just vegging.

I think the best acting in Soul Plane is the plane itself. It looks like the plane is very nice looking from both the outside and the inside. The plane has more personality than the people in this movie. Every single character in this movie is a stereotype. We have the one white couple. The pilot who is afraid of heights. The stewardeses who are dressed like hookers. The one gay character who looks at everybody. The language is offensive, with repeated use of the offensive N-word that whites cannot use but blacks inexplicably do. Why did this movie need to push for an R rating when it could have gone for a PG or a PG 13 would suffice. I give this movie a 4/10 and that is only for the great looking plane.

I don't know what Moviecaine is talking about. Some people read to much into movies, and pick apart every minute detail, failing to see the humor in movies such as this. This was a hilarious movie, and would recommend it to every hip-hop movie fan out there. The part where Hughley was in the bathroom with Tom Arnold, and kicks on Push It is great. Snoop, Method Man were in fine style all the way through the movie. It borders on unrealism with the plane, as it almost seems like the plane is bigger then it is with all the rooms, the big party room, high class seating, and no-class seating.
The soundtrack definitely fit the flow of the movie, and added to the mood.

"Soul Plane" is a horrible attempt at comedy that only should appeal people with thick skulls, bloodshot eyes and furry pawns.
The plot is not only incoherent but also non-existent, acting is mostly sub sub-par with a gang of highly moronic and dreadful characters thrown in for bad measure, jokes are often spotted miles ahead and almost never even a bit amusing. This movie lacks any structure and is full of racial stereotypes that must have seemed old even in the fifties, the only thing it really has going for it is some pretty ladies, but really, if you want that you can rent something from the "Adult" section. OK?
I can hardly see anything here to recommend since you'll probably have a lot a better and productive time chasing rats with a sledgehammer or inventing waterproof teabags or whatever.
2/10

I wholeheartedly agree with Greg in Ontario. I saw this movie today with a friend who actually went to the theatre manager afterwards and told him "That was possibly the worst movie I have ever seen." I have seen a LOT of movies with this person, and he's pretty forgiving, so I was actually shocked. (The manager gave him a free pass!)
I was offended by much of the humor in the film (yes, the baked potato scene was on the top of the list!). My friend and I are white and saw the film with a primarily black audience. For awhile I thought, maybe I just don't get this movie because I'm white. Then I realized NO ONE was laughing. The writing was bad; the direction was bad; the timing was almost non-existent.
There were a few funny moments, there was just WAY too much time between them. Even Airplane Two was funnier than this, and that's saying a lot.
I was so dazzled by Snoop Dogg in Starsky and Hutch (as Huggy Bear) that I felt I was sure to enjoy this movie. Nope.
DL Hughley was funny, as usual, but his role was rather small. Tom Arnold had a few funny moments as "the white guy", but most other attempts at humor fell far short of the mark.
Sadly, I was not able to award this film a rating with negative stars.

The title tell s you where its heading. A commercial Hollywood producing with the word 'Soul' says its going to be a parody of Black culture an d characteristics done badly and diluted so as to cash in on mainstream. Result, offend everyone in its morals and production.
Racial stereotypes and black/white culture are embraced rather than dispelled. Tom Arnold definitely steals the show as he is an excellent comedy actor. Some of the jokes are forced. Some awkward moments. Dwayne Adway is a bit weak in the leading role needed to stick to being the straight man. Stewardess Sofia Vergara has landed in this film from being pictured on a footballer's arm. And like Francine Dee (who plays the Chinese stripper here)is another one of the models and women that have appeared as portraits by the GB artist and psychic Stephen Armourae. This film tries to be an Airplane spoof. But that in itself was a spoof. Double negatives don't work well. But it has enough laughs to be worth looking at.

This "movie" and I say this lightly, is nothing but pure trash. I feel sorry for those people that actually wasted their money to go see this in theaters..I saw a screener of the movie from a friend and I've regretted it ever since.
As a black woman, I am EXTREMELY embarrassed to have seen this. More so, I am extremely horrified that people of other races may have seen this as well and might believe it to be behavior of black people in general. It's full of stereotypes against all nationalities and genders, horribly vulgar coarse jokes and lame one-liners bleated out by somewhat well known African American comedians who should have known better after reading this script! I must also mention the numerous rap and hip hop singers/rappers that populate the movie like it was an overlong music video---they had absolutely no place in the movie. I guess they were the "Jiving & Singing Minstrels?" HORRIBLE.
The "writers," producers and whoever had the stupidity to fund this "movie" should all be shot or locked in a room and forced to look at this crap nonstop for the rest of their lives. DO-NOT-WATCH-THIS- MOVIE!!! It's time wasted out of your life that you can never get back.

I read a lot of negative reviews about this movie from the user comments on this board. OK, so there are a lot of stereotypes BUT nobody is left out which is a very fair way to do it. There was no bias, everyone got made fun of! Whites, Blacks, Gays, Hispanics, etc. This movie hit those stereotypes in such an amusing way. I'm a white American and was not offended by Tom Arnold's character and family. A guilty pleasure of humor I think we can all relate to.
This wasn't a great movie, but I still say it was very entertaining which was the goal for this movie. There is a lot of shocking humor that you just don't find in most comedies today. If you are the kind of person who can discern between real life and how real life is perceived then this movie is for you! No need to get offended up in here, just lay back and enjoy this entertaining movie. Don't worry, this movie isn't going to influence anyone.

... and that is coming from someone who has seen them all. This is a very good lighthearted feel good comedy if you just need a laugh or cheering up after a bad day. the soundtrack throughout the movie is EXCELLENT. The booty is TOP NOTCH. The laughs come think and fast! It does not really have a direction or plot - but just go with it! The characters are WELL thought out and extremely funny and colourful. You really feel for Kevin Hart - great acting. I hope to see the guy in more leading roles. If you liked Friday or COMING TO America this flick is for you - and even if you did not like those films or have not seen them - I would still check it out - let me ask you a question - do you know when sometimes you watch a movie and there was just something about it that really made it stand out or that you really liked even though outwardly it was not received by the public as being something out of the norm? THIS MOVIE HAS THAT. Peace.

I really can't believe that film was wasted on this movie. It has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. I am sure happy that I didn't waste my money in the theaters on it. I should have left it on the self at the video store. I did laugh, although it was at its patheticness. I would never watch it again no matter how bored I got. I get more enjoyment out of biting my fingernails, and that is saying something. I sure feel sorry for the studio that made this film. I will be double checking the studios the next time I see one to make sure that it did not come from this one. The lame antics through out this film really personifies what I said. The studio wasted its money.

This movie was sooooooooooooo DAMN funny. The jokes were not corny, to me, they were hilarious. Vast majority of the movie audience was roaring with laughter. I saw the movie in Sunrise multiplex in Valley Stream, which is next to South Jamaica Queens, N.Y. All the characters were sooo funny. The jokes in this movie had me laughing for 26 minutes straight. No movie has done that to me before, and I definitely appreciate a good laugh. The movie did not drag, it did not get boring. I am not trying to be Siskel and Ebert, but the comments made on this movie, which I have glanced at thus far, had to have been made out of pure hatred. We know this movie won't really win any awards in Hollywood, cause it's too Black. Y'all was probably looking for Brad Pitt this weekend. I love spike lee movies, but the brother can't make a movie like this one.... I don't think Spike has the ability to make people laugh like Soul Plane did. I can't wait for the sequel. They should have the ODB and Bizmark as co-pilots with snoop.

At least I didn't have to pay to see this. I never expected Soul Plane to be a good movie, I just wasn't expecting it to be that bad.
This movie relies heavily on sex, bathroom and race jokes that are offensive, of bad taste and -worst of all- unfunny.
This plane crashes before takeoff. It gives urban humor, and hip-hop culture a bad name. If this is the kind of humor you like, you're better off with
a Wayans Bros. movie.

Well to start with I'm straight up as black as black gets, and I can tell you it's very sad when black people think a "black movie" sucks. I can't say i've ever seen a movie this badly directed or a worse story line.
Snoop is my dawg and all but he wasn't feeling this movie at all, I don't know how much they paid him to be in this bucket of crap called a movie, but i hope it's enough to wash the smell out.
I'm all about supporting a bothers movie, but this one was bad, really really bad. It blew chucks in every aspect, no real plot, story sucked, cast couldn't act and the best one there was the white guy!
I almost demanded a refund on my way out the door of the theatre, half the crowd up and left before it was over, I'm still wishing I had too. Save yourself some pain and go see something else, anything else...

Last night, the jaw dropping and stupid "Soul Plane" came on BET and I must say...I hate this film even more!!! I felt really embarrassed for some of the talented actors and comics involved in this film who had to play stereotypical, offensive, and awful roles.
The special effects were sort of impressive considering how bad the movie was and I did laugh like 2 times. But overrall, wtf were they thinking when they made this movie?!?! Is this supposed to be the black answer to "Airplane"?
The only entertaining elements about this movie were the scenes with Snoop Dogg, MoNique, and Kevin Hart. Other than that, this is probably the worst black movie to come out this decade.
Really, really, BAD!!!

I was fortunate enough to not have to pay to see this disaster. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. So as not to waste my time, I'll simply state that the review by shark-43 was pretty much dead on. I can't fathom why any self-respecting African American could put up with this trash--it takes every known stereotype about Black (and white) people and magnifies it by a power of 10, as well as creating new ones at times.
Possibly the worst part is that it isn't even funny like Undercover Brother, or similar movies of the same parody! It's just pure disgusting humor that shouldn't have ever made it onto film. If I could review lower than a 1, I would.

This works as a funny background film. This film is definitely for a specific audience, specifically those that are fans of the cast. I paid attention to every scene with Mo'Nique.

A trailer for this movie made me think that it was going to be garbage. A year or more later I watched it on BET and I couldn't stop laughing.
This movie should not be taken seriously. It contains tons of jokes (I'm a white male with a sense of humor, don't know if this helps). If you are bored and in need of a new comedy, this comes highly recommended. (My other favorite comedy's are Blades of Glory, Arthur(1981), Austin Powers (all three), Ben Stiller's Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers) if you wanted to know my sense of humor.
It is definitely worth the time and you will not regret watching the movie. I want to high-five the creators of this movie and party with them.

You know, i must have an odd sense of humor because for the first half of this film, i found myself laughing my ass off, despite this film being one of the worse films ever made. I mean, it has no plot what so ever, there's no real point to the story other then cheep laughs. Yet i somehow, despite me being a film student, enjoying this film.
I guess its the same reason why i think Aqua Teen Hunger force is amazingly funny and that Harold and Kumar go to white castle is genius. Its something about these types of films that just make me laugh, even though i know better to.
Is it a bad film, Yes. There is no doubt what so ever that this film is indeed a poor excuse for a movie. Is it funny, i guess that depends on your state of mind and point of view. Its very childish, very ethnic, and very cheep laughs, but laughs none the less.
Overall, i don't know why really, but for some unexplanable reason, i kinda got a kick out of this film, despite it being stupid, dumb, pointless, childish, racest, etc.

For all of you that like the black comedic-type films similar to some of the Wayans Brothers work, then this is the film for you. But if you can't handle or dislike outrageous silliness, which can only make you laugh because it's just...well, too silly (why else would we laugh?), then you might want to pass this one up. Rather simply, I have already summed this film up - outrageous silliness. And it centers around some of the more popular themes like....sex, more sex, sex again, drugs, sex, and.........this is a shocker.....(no, no more sex) manages to throw in, with a semi-effort, profound themes like a father's feelings of losing his daughter, consummate love and immolation, and the definition of true friendship. Intertwined within all of this is humor common to the stereotypical definition of the ghetto and the hood. In other words "phat" rims, cool rides, foxy booty honeys, pimp daddys, gold chains, puffing on the "L", sexual chocolate, and an asuntry of other familiar brandings. Prepare yourself for a crazy flight aboard the Soul Plane. Peace out.
