Editorial Reviews

The raunchy slapstick comedy Soul Plane touches down on DVD in an unrated "Mile High Edition" that adds five minutes of more outrageous material that should appeal to fans who queued up for this urban take on Airplane! Kevin Hart stars a young man who becomes the head of the first all-black airline after winning a major lawsuit. Complications arise during the maiden voyage courtesy of a chemically impeded pilot (Snoop Dogg), a misplaced white family (led by Tom Arnold), and Hart's scheming cousin (Method Man). Snoop, Method, Arnold, and Missi Pyle are the most amusing in the game cast, but too frequently, any attempt to pull Soul Plane out of a scatological tailspin is undone by music-video helmer Jessy Torero's unfocused direction. Still, the gags come fast and furious, so for there's undoubtedly something to laugh at amidst the bathroom and ethnic jibes. --Paul Gaita

Product Description

Why just fly when you can soar with soul! An all-star cast, including Tom Arnold, Kevin Hart and hip-hop superstars Method Man and Snoop Dogg, takes to the skies in this "relentlessly raunchy" (The New York Times) comedy about a full-service airline complete with sexy stewardesses, a mack casino and the hottest dance club at 30,000 feet. Departing on its maiden voyage from the all-new Terminal X in Los Angeles, Soul Plane is a raucous ride that gives "fly" a whole new meaning!

3.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately there's not enough of BLING, BLING to save this film., August 31, 2006

This review is from: Soul Plane (Unrated Mile High Edition) (DVD)

I usually love crude humor, or can at least tolerate it. I love so-called "Black" comedies. I'm not easily offended, either. `Soul plane' is just down right stupid!, You'll probably never see another movie quite like this! Some would say that's a good thing, but as I watched this I caught a few laughs. I've seen some pimped out rides, but a pimped out plane? I think people are taking this movie a bit too seriously, or they don't know how, when or why to laugh at this specific type of cultural humor, this is very obviously a FUBU movie. This is another movie that just pokes fun at everything & everybody.

Racial stereotypes and black/white culture are embraced rather than dispelled. Some of the jokes are forced and other's had there awkward moments. Tom Arnold can be fun to watch, although he has not made anything like that since 'True Lies' but in this movie he was just average. Snoop Dogg can be a lot of fun, even in bad films, but here he is one of the worst things on board even though he had some funny lines. Monique was her usual self in her role. Dwayne Adway is a bit weak in the leading role he needed to stick to being the straight man. Stewardess Sofia Vergara has landed in this film from being pictured on a footballer's arm. And like Francine Dee (who plays the Chinese stripper here) is another one of the models and women that have appeared as portraits by the GB artist and psychic Stephen Armourae. This film tries to be an Airplane spoof. But that in itself was a spoof. Double negatives don't work well.

I'm sort of scared to even recommend this movie for purchase, I rather say rent it out first, just to be on the safe side. For all of you that like the black comedic-type films similar to some of the Wayans Brothers work, then this is the film for you. Prepare yourself for a crazy flight aboard the Soul Plane.

2.0 out of 5 stars 2-1/2 stars -- Some funny moments, but really a stupid movie, April 12, 2004

By 

Anthony Rupert "shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP!!!" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

I saw this movie with really no high expectations because, well, it features mostly rappers -- most notably Method Man and Snoop Dogg. Basically, the movie is about a regular guy, Dakwon (Kevin Hart), who gets injured on an airplane; then he sues and wins a big cash settlement, and he decided to start his own airline, NWA Airlines, with the money.

Like I said in the title, there ARE some funny moments in here, like when Snoop Dogg, who plays the pilot, says he's afraid of heights. But the movie starts to get really crazy when you see what's going on in different parts of the plane. Not that the craziness isn't funny, but it's like this: in one wing you see passengers riding in the seats; then in another wing you see a bar; then in ANOTHER wing there's a strip club; and in STILL another wing there's a casino, and I'm like, "How big IS this plane?"

As far as the cast goes, I have no idea how Tom Arnold got in this movie. And the idea of his wife, son and daughter catching "jungle fever" (the son discovering hip-hop music and style; the wife and daughter picking up black men) is kind of played out -- especially since the way in which each of these things happen is semi-funny rather than COMPLETELY funny. And Method Man's acting performance in this movie was about as interesting as his performance in Belly.

Speaking of Belly, this seems like another instance where a hip-hop video director tried to make a movie look like a lengthened version of one of his/her videos (it was directed by Jessy Terrero). That probably explains all the cameos, like D.L. Hughley as the bathroom attendant and John Witherspoon (what would a Black movie be without him?) as the blind man. This movie IS silly as probably planned, but I still think you can skip it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stupid, stupid, and did I say...STUPID, movie, June 3, 2004

By 

Nick (Lutz, FL) - See all my reviews

The title of my review says it all. Absolutely STUPID. I had low expectations when i walked in this movie, hoping that maybe it would've been good and I would've enjoyed. But no, the movie was everything I expected. Low grade dog crap! There's only a few funny parts in the movie, and then they get repeated over and over again. The toilet humor is over the top in this movie. The first couple of toilet jokes is funny, but when you keep goin with it its absolutely dull and annoying.

Thank god the movie runs at a close 90 minutes. Any long, my girlfriend and I would've been out the door. Not only are the jokes stale, but we are presented with Snoop Dog's terrible acting and his doped up, slurred voice. Tom Arnold didn't seem himself in this movie either. No wonder, I wouldn't either if I was presented with a crap story and terrible actors to contend with.

Overall, its simple. The movie sucked. Jokes were stale as two year old saltines, making it one of the worst comedies I've seen. Don't waste your six bucks on this way. Waste about 3.50 when it comes out on DVD and rent it.
