Review of Soul Men (2008) by Always S — 19 Nov 2009
The battle over family values continues. Too much bad language which is described as witty comedy. If this was made for my junior high students to watch, shame on you. Guess the R rating is supposed to keep it away from young eyes, eh?
Much of the movie is funny, charming, teary eyed. That part, about family connections in the broadest sense, music history, the way the white musicians make the music theirs, with the original singers doing the lyrics, is wonderful. So guess Pepsi should go in and cut the dumb stuff as they have done for school viewing so I can recommend it. RIP Isacc Hayes and Bernie Mac. Samuel J. draws one into his character. Enjoy him. Check out Neuwirth's review. It is very good.
