Soul plane - Pazzi in aeroplano

Yes, Soul Plane is no Kurosawa or de Sica stuff, but it's funny.

Yes, it contains vulgarity, nauseating scenes, foul-mouthing, insults, indiscriminate use of the omnipresent "N-word" and "Motherf---ers", racial stereotyping and what-have-you, but everything in it is so absurd that it becomes funny. Actually absurdity is, in my opinion,the strongest point of this movie; it's so extreme in its incredulity that not for a single moment does it let one feel that this movie, even in one's wildest dream (with or without any assistance from pot), could have the slightest similarity to reality! Thus, all one needs to do to enjoy this movie is to switch off all logical reasoning and just watch it for the fun of it.

Though I am not an African-American person (and thus, I can not comment on the humiliation felt by some African-American reviewers), I can see that this is not a racist movie; rather, it pokes fun at many of the prevailing stereotypes, though definitely not in a polished way.

Come on! If a movie like this can make one believe that all blacks are busy smoking pots and whoring, then one must be having the brain of a caterpillar. I'm sure, most people know about renowned personalities such as Langston Hughes, Tony Morrison and Condoleezza Rice (to name just a few)and their contributions in their respective field of choice.

Actually, I found it more offending to see Jammie Foxx using "motherf---er" in "Collateral" (because it did not fit his decent disposition, and that, to me, was surely Hollywood stereotyping, where every black actor must foul mouth!) than Muggsy using the N-word here. I also found it equally funny, when Marsellus Wallace asks Butch:"Are you my ni---r?" in "Pulp Fiction", but not when, Harvey Keital used the N-word in "Reservoir Dogs". But then, that's me!

Soulplane is just down right stupid!, You'll probably never see another movie quite like this! Some would say that's a good thing, but I've just watched it twice this weekend (almost didn't rent it because I read these reviews 1st) & literally laughed all the way through this movie. I've seen some pimped out rides, but a pimped out plane? I think people are taking this movie way too seriously, or they don't know how, when or why to laugh at this specific type of cultural humor, this is very obviously a FUBU movie, but there's no reason for others to bash this movie. The movie just pokes fun at everything & everybody (regardless of race, sex &/or religion). People it's not "Friday" but it is a good slapstick comedy thats great for a few laughs.

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.

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.

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.
