Synopsis

Following a ridiculously awful flight that leads to his pet's death, Nashawn Wade files a lawsuit against the airline, and wins a multimillion-dollar settlement. Determined to create a better flying experience, Nashawn starts his own airline, one that caters to an African-American clientele. Going into business with a tricked-out plane piloted by the smooth Capt. Mack, the airline hits a snag when it has to deal with the family of Elvis Hunkee.

Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
jessegehrig Is Soul Plane mad at me? Did I take something from Soul Plane without asking, or did I cut in line in front of Soul Plane? I ask cause Soul Plane seems weird, like really mad, and I'm all like 'Soul Plane I didn't do sh*t to you why are you acting all messed up?' Soul Plane just looks away in the other direction all stoic like I'm not talking to your f*cking face Soul Plane. For the record, I had nothing to do with this movie. I did NOT write it, I did NOT direct it, I did NOT cast this movie nor did I have any any any anything to do with the book this movie must be based on. Can you imagine the Soul Plane book? Lengthy descriptions about booty, and long chapters devoted to the various details of a brother's suit? Can you put gold rims on a book? A lift kit on a book, put in some sub-woofers, get some bass in that book?
Adam Foidart "Soul Plane" is an incredibly unfunny, incredibly racist excuse for comedy with no plot and lazy gags. The conceit of the film is that if an African American man did own a plane, it'd would be the most coonish, irresponsibly run, "hip", and party-filled airline. That's really all there is to the movie. There's no real plot, just a quick origin story for the airline (which is most undignified) and a demonstration of what the flights are like. I could in theory have seen how this would have worked. A "hip" airline that really speaks to the black community, with a single white family bearing witness to their African American neighbours being finally able to let loose and say what they've been thinking about airplanes for years... there might be some material there. The fact is, the owner of the "Soul Plane" is not a responsible business man who has triumphed over adversity in an industry run by white people. He did not actually earn the money to buy his own plane, instead getting it when a toilet incident kills his dog (just go with it, the sequence where this happens is idiotic and trying to explain exactly what happened would be a waste of time). Even while managing the airline, the "lead" character is completely incompetent, hiring the worst possible pilots to fly his plane and nearly killing everyone on board. I say "lead" because there really is no actual main character to this film, the story jumps from gag to gag for the entire running time with some running jokes that resemble a plot giving you only a vague idea of who you should be cheering for The movie degrades women and shows them all as having no ambitions or desires besides having sex with black men (without even having the guts to show any male or female nudity in an R rated comedy aimed at teens) and depicts all men as stupid or incompetent. The film makers idea of a joke is constantly throwing stereotypes at the screen. What do they serve in the plane? well Popeye's fried chicken of course! What do they serve in the airport lobby? Fried chicken and waffles! I lost track as to whether they ended up with watermelon, grape soda, pickled pig's feet and chitlins. A special dishonorable mention to John Witherspoon that plays a blind character so stupid he confuses a baked potato with a woman in a really disgusting and rage inducing gag. The movie starts off bad, then irritating, then genuinely offensive over and over until you either become a seething pot of boiling rage, or you fall back into your chair in a semi-depressed state, wishing it would simply end so you can try to purge all memories of this abomination from your mind. Writing a review for this was incredibly difficult because it's genuinely hard to express how bad this film is. If I can put it simply, there is absolutely no reason to watch "Soul Plane", to recommend it or for this movie to have even been made. (On DVD, July 27, 2012)
Rob Reik This raucous comedy has fun for the whole family, as long as the whole family is 18 or older. It tells the tale of Nashawn Wayne and his brand new airline, NWA. Be ready to hold your sides while Snoop Dogg, Method Man, and the whole gang take you to new, unparalleled, comedic heights.But at heart, this film is a classic love story. Young Nashawn has been kicked down his whole life. When he finally gets a chance to have everything he's ever wanted, he learns that the only thing he really needs is love. Even though he now has more money than he ever dreamed of, it just can't buy him the affection of Giselle. Will he be able to prove his love to her while still controlling all the wild antics of the airline's passengers and crew? You'll have to watch to find out. Tom Arnold gives the performance of a lifetime in this outrageous fun- filled romp through the skies. Mo'nique really comes out of her shell, in ways you won't find from watching reruns of the Parkers. D.L. Hughley will make you giggle with glee, while John Witherspoon will make you question everything you ever knew about acting (in a good way).
heavy metal is the law Teacher: Well kids, today we are going to talk about American films. Can anyone tell me an American film you have watched recently? Johnny: Last week, I saw "Airplane" with some friends. Teacher: Ohh, that's interesting. What can you tell us about it? Johnny: Well, first of all we laugh our asses off. Teacher: Johnny, don't use that language here. Johnny: Sorry, Mr. Walker, but that is exactly what we did. See, the movie was so funny,with funny characters, dialogues, and acting; which made the movie a full of endless memorable scenes. At the end we laughed so hard that one of my friends peed himself. Teacher: All right. Is there anyone who have also watched a similar movie like "Airplane"?. (nobody replied. the teacher was becoming anxious. all of the sudden, a girl, with tears in her eyes, raised her hands). Teacher: OK, Sara. Sara: Last night I saw a movie called "Soul plane". Teacher: Soul plane?. OK, could you please tell us about it?. Sara: Well, first of all, it's a piece of crap. Teacher: Sara, behave yourself. Continue. Sara: The setting was similar as in "Airplane". However, the plot was utterly garbage. The actors were cheap,there was an abundance of negative afroamerican stereotypes, the comedy was as funny as my grandpa's terminal cancer and in addition, the pilot of the plane was Snoop Dogg and the co-pilot was Method Man. Teacher: Oh dear. Now I see why are you crying. You had a bad experience. It's all over now. Sara: But, that's is one of the reason why I'm crying. Teacher: OK. Which are the other reasons? Sara: I'm crying because after seeing the movie, I went back to my brother's room and I shoot him to death for having recommended the film. Then I went to my parents' room and I stabbed both to death, just for having given the soul plane DVD for my birthday. And now I have to kill all of you for making me speak about it.
