Soul Plane

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!

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.

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 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.

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.
