Soul Men

These are some smoooooth dudes!

Great little film that has good music and good laughs, the first comeback show is hilarious.

There is not a lot that needs to be said here...if you enjoy the actors, like good music and a laugh then this is a YES :)

Wow. Who knew that before the release of this film we would lose both Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac in August of the same year, one day apart! Bernie on August 9, 2008 and Isaac on August 10, 2008.

"Soul Men" didn't feature Isaac Hayes but a little, it was truly about Louis Hinds (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd Henderson (Bernie Mac), two old school legends who lit up the charts back in the 60's and 70's with a group called The Real Deal. Sometime in the early 70's they broke up and went separate ways. The lead singer of the group, Marcus Hooks (John Legend), went on to be a solo star, Floyd went on to open a successful car wash business, and Louis went on to be hooked on drugs and alcohol and rob a bank.

When Marcus (Legend) died and VH1 wanted to do a tribute to him, they called upon the surviving two members of The Real Deal. Floyd (Mac) was ready and willing whereas Louis (SLJ) wanted no part of it. Through coaxing, cajoling, and pretty much bribery, Floyd got Louis to agree to go to New York's Apollo Theater for the tribute.

If it wasn't already a funny movie, it certainly got funnier when Mac and Jackson got together MF'ing their way through a road trip. No one can MF like SLJ, but Mac certainly gave him a run for his money. This movie was genuinely entertaining and funny, I'm just saddened that I won't be able to see Mac and Jackson together again.

I just returned from seeing "Soul Men". I laughed so hard. Samuel L Jackson is such a versatile actor. I love him in so many movies. Sam and Bernie played well off each other. And please stay for the credits because there is some scenes of Bernie being interviewed and doing his comedy act. He uses the f word in his act.

It was very funny seeing Sam in corn rows and with the gray in them. That alone is worth seeing.

It was very nice that they dedicated the movie to Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes who died one day apart from each other. They will both be missed.

Samuel keep on making these wonderful movies.

This film is somewhat a good film, it surprises me with nice jokes and good old school songs. By the way the voices in the songs are their own and may I add are good musical voices, original ones :D. I gave it 7 * mostly because of Bernie. S.L. Jackson played very well,tough as usual.Nevertheless a film to see with your family on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, a film about friendship,at least the last part :P, friends sometimes find them hating each other,for different reasons, but love finally conquers all, doesn't it ?????. Cool ending! I recommend this movie for the people who don't expect the terrible laugh of another tipical comedy.P.S. Rest in peace Bernie!Loved your films, your are one of the Kings of Comedy

It's not just a comedy, it's a tribute to our favorite soul men, Issac Hayes and Bernie Mac. Bernie Mac for his in your face style of comedy. And Hayes for his soulful singing voice, and his best remembered as the Duke in Escape From New York(1981), and has the voice of the chief on South Park. It a real sadness that there not with us anymore. But we'll always remember you Issac Hayes 1942-2008, and Bernie Mac 1957-2008.

The story begins when two former singers Named Floyd Henderson(Bernie Mac), and Louis Hinds(Samuel L. Jackson) in the seventies where in a group called The Real Deal. Now thirty years later, after learning about one of there partners named Marcus Hooks(John Legend), died of a heart attack. Despite a little old grudges with each other, Floyd and Louis decide to re-team anyway. But during a trip that might encounter misadventure. will they make it without killing each other first.

This was funny as ever, Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac are like the perfect comedy team, they had great comic chemistry, it's a real sadness they won't team up again. It had funny slapstick, and great music also. Please don't miss it. Sure it drops a lot of F bombs, and it has some raunchy humor, but it never gets boring or stupid for a second.
