Review of Soul Men (2008) by Jami L — 05 Mar 2009

Soul Men is the story of two former soul singers who have drifted ways and gotten older and what happens when opportunity reunites them for a come back.

I liked this film, it was funny. Bernie Mac was a genius comedian and will be missed a great deal. He was very funny in this. I don't think I have ever heard M***er F***er used so much since Pulp Fiction. I had my doubts that Samuel L. Jackson could pull this role off, but I have to say he did. I was impressed that they both sang their own songs and weren't afraid to get their groove on. I really liked Sharon Leal as Cleo in this. She is smart, sassy and absolutely beautiful. It was good to see Isaac Hayes as well, he is another great talent that will be missed.

Soul Men is worth checking out if you love the comedy of Bernie Mac. There is a great tribute at the end of the film to both him and Isaac, which I thought was really nice.
