Movie Notes: Soul Plane

April 23rd, 2008

Soul Plane

0 stars

Starring Kevin Hart, Tom Arnold, Snoop Dogg
Directed by Jessy Terrero

Synopsis

After lodging his posterior in an airline toilet, Nashwan Wade (Kevin Hart) is awarded a hefty settlement. He uses the cash to open NWA airlines, featuring a huge purple jet catering to the African American demographic. Hilarity ensues.

The Good

  • Eventually, it ended.

The Bad

  • Within the first few minutes, a flight attendant tosses a dog carrier onto the tarmac. The same dog is later sucked into a jet engine. That’s the least offensive joke. The rest are even more predictable, crass, and offensive.
  • Way too much bawdy humor. Sex between a blind man and a potato, a flight attendant riding a pilot during descent, or the sad couple that copulate on the landing gear – while the plane is still in flight.
  • Tom Arnold is father of the “Hunkee” family. His wife is the lady with the inverted lizard-like face, Missy Pyle. Predictably, they all get jungle fever.
  • Crassly offensive to African Americans.

Conclusion

I write this review as a public service to prevent others from wasting their time with such cinematic toxicity. Steve Jobs, if the 99 cent rentals scrape the barrel like this one, I’ll quit renting them. You owe me a year of your salary just for the blind man and the potato.

  • Thanks for the PSA. Sadly, my curiosity (as usual) got the better of me and I managed to find and watch the blind dude with the potato on YouTube :-(

    Here it is for anyone else who wants to catch a glimpse of Jason's suffering without paying the 99 cents:

  • Yep that one clip pretty much sums up the whole flick...
  • Hip-hop style, that's whom snoop is. I like the way he carry simple shirt cap a pair of belt and sunglasses.
