Double Mac and Jackson please!
Soul Man is was it is... crude, rude, and genuinely funny. It has two of the hardest working actors in showbiz - the late great Bernie Mac and Samuel L Jackson as two has been soul stars on a road trip to a funeral / tribute concert of the late great Marcus Hook (John Legend).
This is comedy at full speed, it makes no apologies and takes no prisoners - but is also genuinely full of laughs.
All in all I think Mac wouldn't mind this being his last movie - never a man for great subtlety here the pair look like they had a lot of fun making this and the best bits are the improv off-script rants.
It's no comedic masterpiece, and the plot is cheesy, and the whole thing is just a beer and pizza adventure - but you have to admire the energy and fun.
A fitting tribute to Bernie Mac who loved life and people and was a very very, very hard-working stand-up comic.
