... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreIs Soul Plane mad at me? Did I take something from Soul Plane without asking, or did I cut in line in front of Soul Plane? I ask cause Soul Plane seems weird, like really mad, and I'm all like 'Soul Plane I didn't do sh*t to you why are you acting all messed up?' Soul Plane just looks away in the other direction all stoic like I'm not talking to your f*cking face Soul Plane. For the record, I had nothing to do with this movie. I did NOT write it, I did NOT direct it, I did NOT cast this movie nor did I have any any any anything to do with the book this movie must be based on. Can you imagine the Soul Plane book? Lengthy descriptions about booty, and long chapters devoted to the various details of a brother's suit? Can you put gold rims on a book? A lift kit on a book, put in some sub-woofers, get some bass in that book?
... View MoreAfter eating Beef Stroganoff on an airplane, obnoxious passenger Kevin Hart (as Nashawn Wade) has to make a quick run to the restroom. While making a noisy bowel movement, the plane encounters turbulence and Mr. Hart gets himself stuck in the toilet seat. He sues the airline and is awarded $100 million. Hart decides to use the money to create his own airline, called N.W.A. (Nashawn Wade Airlines). The initials are probably also meant to evoke T.W.A. and the name of a rap group (one with Attitude). Toilet, sex and race humor dominates, courtesy of writers Bo Zenga and Chuck Wilson. Their cleverest joke is on Michael Jackson. The director who keeps this turkey in the sky is Jessy Terrero. Other names in the cast are Tom Arnold, who was married to Rosanne Barr four wives ago, and legendary rapper Snoop Dogg. The latter performs on the soundtrack, but it doesn't make this film any less painful.* Soul Plane (5/28/04) Jessy Terrero ~ Kevin Hart, Tom Arnold, Method Man, Snoop Dogg
... View MoreLet me start off by saying that this is not a good movie at all. But if you view this film under the right circumstances, it can be quite enjoyable. I watched this with my best friend on a rainy night with nothing better to do. We knew this wasn't gonna be the next "Airplne", but we still had a pretty good time.You have to see the movie for what it is, and what it's trying to accomplish. I believe the finished project was roughly everything the filmmakers planned it out to be. It's a stupid movie, that get's 99.9% of it's jokes by stereotyping blacks. That's not gonna win a lot of awards, but you can see how it can be good for a laugh between two white, Wisconsin boys.My belly wasn't sore after viewing this, but I still chuckled constantly throughout with a couple cases of large laughs. Soul Plane does have funny performances by Tom Arnold and Snoop Dogg, but does suffer from the scenes with the supposed lead played by Kevin Hart. The whole romance struggle he's in has no place in a movie like this. And while the movie has plenty of giggles, it seems to drastically die down towards the end; the end can't come soon enough. If you like black stereotype humor but the negative reviews are making you cautious, I would recommend Steve Martin's "Bringing Down the House" instead.
... View MoreI'm watching it for the second time as I type. And I thought it was so perfect that I went online to check out the reviews to see how much other people loved it. But I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out how lowly it was regarded. Essentially the movie is a cruder Chappelle's Show set on a purple airplane. Who cares what the plot is. It' a series of sketches and sight gags set on a tricked out aircraft. I hope I'm the last thing from prejudiced (A northern, liberal, gay, white, urban male) but you'll hate it if you're too politically correct. They're jokes people. We're laughing AT the stereotypes in the movie, not subscribing to them
