Soul Plane (2004)




Synopsis

After an excruciatingly humiliating in-flight experience that culminated in a messy breakup and the untimely death of a dog, Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) sues the airline for all it's worth. This turns out to be a more than profitable move on his part; the lawsuit brings him a settlement in the hefty amount of 600 million dollars. Eager to prevent his experience from happening to another -- and perfectly willing to reap the financial benefits of the cash cow he believes his plan to be -- Nashawn decides to launch NWA, an all African American airline complete with sensuous stewardesses, an onboard dance club, and a bathroom attendant. Far be it from giving "flying the friendly skies" a new meaning, however, chaos ensues in the form of a white family with the unfortunate last name of Hunkee. The Hunkee patriarch (as played by Tom Arnold) and his antics prevent the flight from going as smoothly as intended. The feature debut of music video director Jessy Tererro, urban comedy regulars Snoop Dogg and Method Man co-star.

What Critics Say


Spike Lee has called Soul Plane "coonery and buffoonery". I have never had any reason to agree with Mr. Knicks Fan before but I will say this, the Fo'ties and the fried chicken and the well-endowed Mandingo jokes aren't nearly as offensive as the movie's core premise, which is this: If a black man owned an airline, it would fail because he's black, and here are all the reasons why. And that is just sad. But there's really no need to delve any deeper into social issues. Soul Plane is mainly offensive because it thinks it's funny, and it's not even close.

Spill.com puts a whole new spin on the "classic" movie review; turning dorky and dry into hilarious and hip. Spill's reviews are high-quality animated videos featuring a regular cast of comic personalities.
