Pros: Some decent juvenile gags Cons: Dumb, racist, sophomoric, and only occasionally funny
A few weeks ago, I was watching an episode of the newly released season 1 of In Living Color. On came a sketch where Ted Turner had decided to "colorize" old movies, including Casablanca. This meant that the familiar actors we replaced by ...

Pros: Funny, some good acting, very cute sight gags (purple plane with spinners!) Cons: Some rough language, some bare breasts
Oh, my! As one who was born and bred in the BIGOT BELT, I have to agree that this is one of most racist films Ive ever seen. But my sincere hope is that all the racism was intentional over-the-top to the point of parody, of poking fun at ...

Pros: Most of the characters; some funny dialogue; cool airplane; soundtrack Cons: the Hunkee family; pathetic attempt at storyline; highly unlikely and stupid situations; some racial insensitivity
This movie convinced me I would enjoy a flight #069 out of Terminal X aboard a purple airplane with rims. And sexy flight attendants. With these ideas and gags, that is all the film has going for it. There is a plot that attempts to establish itself but ...

Pros: Makes Tom Arnold look like a genius Cons: unfunny stereotypes against all races, including black
This movie does not deserve a lengthly, in depth review, so here is my short commentary. For a better feel for just how bad people think this movie is, visit imdb.com and search for Soul Plane (2004) and read the member reviews there. Simply an awful, ...

Pros: I LAUGHED THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH Cons: SO STEREOTYPICAL, BUT FUNNY
WARNING: DON'T CALL THE MPAA ITS A DVD-R An all black cast, smoking, hardcore weed smoking rappers, strippers, rap music, wiggas (white people yearning to be black), big penis cliche and POPEYE'S chicken all wrapped up in a movie becomes box office ...

Pros: None that I can find. Cons: The person who did this still lives.
I'd like to quote Furie: "Soul Plane takes that premise and makes it a movie. It's funny because they're black. If that seems to be a bit of a racist judgment, blame the movie. It's full of every stereotype about African-Americans that you can conceive ...

Pros: Non stop laughing from beginning to end! Cons: Not something I would let my children see!
This movie is hilarious! It's about a young black man who ends up winning a 100 million dollar lawsuit when his butt gets stuck in an airplane toilet. Having a huge passion for airplanes, he uses his money to buy his own airplane - "Soul Plane" from ...

Pros: cast, fun factor.
Cons: It's not for everybody.
I loved this movie. It was hilariously funny. The fact that one of the main characters was Tom Arnold in a black movie was great. This movie was awesome. Tom Arnold's family is thrown onto this new airline, NWA. It was them with a couple hundred black ...

entertaining and pretty funny at times
by erkcuf ,Jun 01 '04
Pros: funny and entertaining at times Cons: I can see why it only make 5.5 million dollars.
This movie only made 5.5 million dollars according to recent estimates. It came nowhere near the first and 2nd place movies, but I thought it was entertaining and funny at times.
The acting was good, though not worthy of an award, the plot was not new just a remake of an old movie from the 1980's called airplane in my opinion.
I can see this movie only appealing to the younger crowds as opposed to the older generations.
I would still stick to man on fire as a first pick and this movie as a 2nd or third choice.

Don't waste your time
by tdirewolf ,May 26 '04
Pros: Tom Arnold and Snoop Dogg in the same movie Cons: Everything Else
This latest movie, "Soul Plane" plays upon painfully trite racial jokes, (why does it have to be a "black" box), and cannot save itself from an inevitable crash (what a pun, ha ha). Tom Arnold takes one last stab as an acceptable showbiz actor, but fails miserably. My only advice is go with your gut and socio-economic class. If you like such laugh riots as "Car Wash" and "Barber Shop" then you might like this film. On the other hand, if you prefer the class of "Cool Hand Luke" or "American Beauty" then you might be horribly disappointed.
