Directed by Jessy Terrero
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. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

"By Tricia Olszewski In Soul Plane, black people are loud ’n’ lazy and white people are, well, Tom Arnold. Needless to say, no one comes out looking very good in first-time feature director Jessy Terrero’s attempt at an urban Airplane!. Though it’s nearly as funny as that “My mama no raise no dummies&rdquo " [More]

lost interest.
Soul Plane's concept is a pretty simple one -- an urbanized take on Airplane! featuring some of the hottest rappers, stars, or rappers-turned-stars than any airline ever had seating for! Well, as this movie proves, concept can only take you so far in the world of comedy. There are definitely some laughs in this sucker, but far and wide, the majority of the gags fall flat rather than actually sticking. Plenty of talent was obviously gathered, with each King or Queen of Comedy throwing their back out with their deliveries, it's just that they deserve better material than what they're given. Also obvious is that director Jessy Terrero needs more time behind the camera and in front of the classics before he truly understands how to pull off even the smallest of gags from the anemic script. There are a few points where it's shocking how bad the staging and pacing of certain jokes are -- and this is physical comedy, folks! You either do it right or don't do it at all. What genius that's there lies mostly in the production design and set decoration of the Soul Plane itself. From the ghetto overhead locker compartments in the low-class section to the outrageous club on the top floor, the plane deserves every laugh that it will surely get. Yes, it's a breezy time at the movies and you will laugh from time to time -- the fact still remains that Soul Plane has more missed opportunities than slam-dunks. With a tighter script, less wandering ad-libbing, and a stronger focus on exactly what the film was before it was cast, this could've been a laugh riot. If you buy a ticket, just don't be surprised if it's a bumpy flight. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
