Soul Men

Bernie Mac, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharon Leal, Adam Herschman, Sean Hayes

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  read more... ) did before his passing in August.

    Good 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.

    Soul Men is the story of two former soul singers who have drifted ways and gotten older and what happens when opportunity reunites them for a come back.
    I liked this film, it was funny. Bernie Mac was a genius comedian and will be missed a great deal. He was very funny in this. I...( read more) don't think I have ever heard M***er F***er used so much since Pulp Fiction. I had my doubts that Samuel L. Jackson could pull this role off, but I have to say he did. I was impressed that they both sang their own songs and weren't afraid to get their groove on. I really liked Sharon Leal as Cleo in this. She is smart, sassy and absolutely beautiful. It was good to see Isaac Hayes as well, he is another great talent that will be missed.
    Soul Men is worth checking out if you love the comedy of Bernie Mac. There is a great tribute at the end of the film to both him and Isaac, which I thought was really nice.

    Louis: I got a life style to maintain her.
    Floyd: What kind of life style? You got a pantry full of dog food, and you aint got no dog.
    Louis: The dog's under the bed and you lucky he aint attack yo ass when you came in!

    In the last film role for late comedian Bernie Mac, he gets...( read more) to trade lines with Samuel L Jackson in a foul and profanity laden comedy about to 60s backup singers going on a road trip, hoping to start a comeback at the funeral of their late former frontman. There are various issues with this movie, but it is has enough good moments between Mac and Jackson that it works.

    Rosalee: You ever had a velveteen rub?
    Floyd: Aint no cheese involved is their? Cause I'm lactose intolerant.
    [takes out her teeth]

    As stated, the two take the road for a concert, having not been together in years, with grudes still held because of an affair with the wife of another. The trip is reluctantly agreed upon due to money, and during the trip, they stop in a number of spots for some warm up gigs, as well as finding an estranged daughter, played by Sharon Leal.

    There are a number of problems involving pacing and some sub plots, but once again, as stated, Mac and Jackson make a good team, and the fact that this movie is very R-rated, gives it the kind of boost it needs to make it more effective as a buddy comedy.

    Philip: They say motherfucker a lot, but I'm okay.

    Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson are what's left of a musical trio who made their name in the 60's. When the led singer (who left them behind in the mid 70's) dies, they are asked to get back together to perform at a memorial show.
    I enjoyed this movie and it made me laugh. Yo...( read more)u can see most of the plot developments coming but it still manages to be enjoyable. Bernie Mac and Samuel L. make a great pair.

    Soul 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
