Review of Soul Men (2008) by Thomas C — 30 Apr 2009

Soul Men is about two soul singers (Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson) that find themselves back on the road together after a 25 yr old grudge. The movie isn't totally original or perfect but Jackson and the late Bernie Mac worked so good together that I didn't care. They made the movie fun. While Mac had so much energy that I kept having to remind myself that he's dead. It's still hard to believe.

One scene that got to me is when Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes were leaving a room together and Mac said "after you". Since they died around the same time I found that a little emotional. The end credits where Bernie Mac talks about his career was moving as well and also entertaining.
