Soul Plane (2004)

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Highly Overrated But Still Good

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

First off all I would like to say that people who complain about things being offensive are the worst . Everything can be turned into comedy gold . This movie isn't offensive , it's just lazy . It's 90 minutes of product placement occasionally joined by overused jokes about race , sex and of course farts .

After 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

Let 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.

i love soul plane, it is a brilliantly funny film =] I've watched it several times and "Stinky Pinky!" never get's old :PIt is a hilarious film, and there is no such thing as offence when it comes to comedy, I'm sure black guys don't get offended by making lower class look like a bus and passing chicken around, i'm sure they'll find it funny, because they know how to laugh.And calling the white family Honkey, PRICELESS =] I laughed so hard!Comedy films will have offence in it, but doesn't mean they are trying to get at anyone individually, if you get offended then you really need to learn how to enjoy a film. They offended everyone, White People: Honkey. Black People: Eating Chicken wings. Gay People: "Fruity ass mother BLEEPERS"This films offensiveness is spread across loads of different types of people, but don't watch this film if you are easily offended then this film isn't for you. But like me, and can take a joke, then this film is comical genius.
