Movie Info

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

This nearly plotless movie follows the maiden voyage of NWA (a moniker that seems to be the extent of the film's wit) through a torrent of stale ghetto jokes in the vein exhausted years ago by the Wayans brothers.

An hour and a half of real airplane turbulence is better than sitting through the bad, offensive material that makes up Soul Plane.

Makes up for what it lacks in genuine humor by overdosing viewers with outrageous sexuality and outsize stereotypes.

Sloppy, uneven, vulgar, lowbrow and often very funny, Jessy Terrero's debut movie might be called Airport Car Wash Scary Movie.

A better- than-average comedy that is raunchy and tasteless but ultimately funny from beginning to end.

Soul Plane is about 'the first urban' (black) airline, whose motto is 'We fly. We party. We land.' They left out 'We potty.'

Raunchy comedy for adults only.

Soul Plane is like seeing an uncomfortably unfunny stand-up comedy routine acted out and stretched to a feature-length film.

Surprisingly enough (in fact, I am shocked), this film gets a lot of laughs.

...it's hard not to be offended by a sequence in which an Arab man boards the airplane - much to the shock and horror of everyone around him.

One of the more ridiculous films I've ever seen. When it comes to "airplane comedies", the original "Airplane" from the 70's comes to mind. This to me is the industry standard and any aviation comedy that is released will be judged in comparison. "Soul Plane" has some entertaining moments and the idea of a tripped out
