I've been doin funny things, even if you don't want me to, I'm a muppet.
Bernie Mac, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharon Leal
The late, great Bernie Mac and up-and-comer Samuel L. Jackson star in this comedy about two former backup soul singers back on the road. It's a bittersweet flick, though, as it's the last work Mr. Mac...( read more

March 15, 2009Good plot/storyline, good duo, music, and a cameo from the late Isaac Hayes. Bad, bad script, empty. Expletives can only carry movie so far. Its weird how this was the last thing both Mac and Hayes worked with, soul is dangerous.

November 21, 2009Soul men is an ok movie. There are funny moments but there far and few between. The acting was great the story..........not so much. I respect the directors for paying tribute to two great actors. Issac Hayes and Bernie Mac. R.I.P

October 15, 2009The so-so scenario is saved by the joyful and enthusiasm performances by his main cast. The music is also good wich is another great reason to watch it, without saying it's the last main role of Bernie Mac.

Soul Men just doesn't find the right rhythms. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Soul Men has a lot to overcome in its effort to be funny. The pall over it can be ignored only intermittently, at least for the time being. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The only good reason to see the otherwise dismal comedy Soul Men is to have a look at the late actor and comedian Bernie Mac in one of his final screen roles. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Soul Men has soul, but expects too much of its charismatic stars. full review
November 6, 2008
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Soul Men is a raucous, rambling comedy, offering some laughs, some groans and a feast for fans of the musical idioms it mocks and celebrates.
November 6, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today
It doesn't sound like the likeliest pairing, but it works surprisingly well. Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac make a winning duo in the bawdy buddy road-trip picture Soul Men. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Soul Men is a chance to salute these masters of mirth and music. Take it. full review
November 6, 2008
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
You want a good time? Soul Men will provide it. You want to say goodbye to Bernie Mac? He wants to say goodbye to you. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Soul Men is the most disappointing tribute to black pop music since the OutKast movie Idlewild. full review

January 26, 2009This movie kind of got ripped by critics and had a few saying that it was sad that this film had to be the last of Bernie's. This film is exactly what all of MAc's fans know his as and will remember him to be. 1 really funny motherfucker. MAc teamed up with Samual L on the screen is just absoulte fun and laughter. RIP Bernie Mac & Issac Hayes

November 13, 2008My friend and I saw this movie on opening day and it was good! It was also good to see Bernie, Isaac, and Sam in this movie.
I just returned from seeing "Soul Men". I laughed so hard. Samuel L Jackson is such a versatile actor. I love him in so many movies. Sam and Bernie played well off each other.
It was very nice that they dedicated the movie to Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes who died one day apart from each other. They will both be missed.
Samuel keep on making these wonderful movies.
Came across a site which has wallpapers and other interesting trivia of this movie..
