Review of Soul Man (1986) by Tommy H — 06 Sep 2014
Although I liked the movie and recommend you give it at least one watch this movie is a genius idea but the execution is really grade c. c.Thomas does fine in the lead role but the supporting cast I don't know I guess they do OK none of the acting is.
really grade a accept with James earl Jones's role but I wished the movie would have tried to be deeper with the racial element of c.Thomas learning what it is like to be black and understanding there struggle they used to face and still face I feel like that would have been a better movie a dim comedy is kind of what this movie approaches it as which is a shame and rae dawn Chong as his love intrest I'm like OK don't get me wrong she is one of the most beautiful black women ever but this movie should have focused more on a deeper message.
