Soul Plane
This movie is an embarrassment to every race out there. Why? It’s because this movie shows the very worst of the black culture. Sometimes, the movie’s humor is tasteless, while other times it’s random. There’s not much of a plot to the movie, and it moves from one subplot to another without much transition or playoff. Some subplots are just dropped all together and forgotten.
Basically, there is a guy that rides on an airplane, and he’s treated poorly. During the opening, his dog is ejected from the flying plane and killed by its engine. Somehow, this is supposed to be funny. He then sues the Airplane Company and wins. He takes his settlement and starts his own company geared toward ghetto types. He names it NWA Airlines. Why? No one knows or cares why he names it after an old gangster rap group.
The cast is made up of actors that should have known better than to sign up for such a crappy movie. Any movie with Mo'Nique in it will automatic go down a few points. She plays a stereotype of a stereotype of an overweight black woman Security Guard. Snoop Dogg plays, uh, Snoop Dogg flying a plane. Tom Arnold plays the typical out of place white guy with a family.
I can’t stress enough how bad this film is. The acting is way over the top, even for a comedy. This movie is a cheap knockoff of an earlier airplane comedy called strangely enough, Airplane!. If you want to waste money go ahead and rent it. But, I’m telling don’t watch it, and don’t even illegally download it.
Grade F- (I can’t grade it lower, I wish I could)
