Half the jokes are just to see how strong the language can get without really ever being funny. How extreme can we go. Silly and embarassing. A disappointment.... Full review

Critics Reviews

The men engage in familiar slapstick (eye-rolling, pratfalling), lots of name-calling, and antiquated sex jokes (a one-night stand with Jennifer Coolidge providing massive cleavage and an apparently uproarious toothless blow-job).
Sam Jackson and Bernie Mac look positively pained when they squeeze into Pip-like suits and begin to sing.

And in "Soul Men," often dressed in dapper, fluid trousers and crisp fedoras, he looks so handsome, and so vital, that it's hard to believe he's gone.
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.

With two-thirds of the film functioning properly, Soul Men can be forgiven for its occasional lapses.
Without Mac and Jackson in the lead, we'd be left with an entertainment void that no expert ensemble could salvage.

As swan songs for gone-too-soon-performers go, Soul Men definitely doesn't measure up to Giant or The Dark Knight , although, on the positive side, it's nowhere near as embarrassing as Brainstorm , Natalie Wood's last movie.
There's a reason for that; as good as the two actors so often are individually, their performing styles don't complement each other particularly well.

Even a scene of Mac in a coffin isn't as morbidly jarring as it could have been because it's so funny.
Their cross-country road trip to New York in Floyd's vintage car leads to many funny moments as Mac and Jackson are giving plenty of room to clown around.
