Synopsis
Though it's been some twenty years since they have spoken with one another, two estranged soul-singing legends (Jackson and Mac) agree to participate in a reunion performance at the Apollo Theater to honor their recently deceased band leader.
Critics' reviews
  • "In spite of its title, the film has precious little soul, but its real offense is being Mac's final on screen credit."
  • "Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac appear to be having a good time, and for most of this raunchy, poorly orchestrated buddy comedy, that's enough."
  • "When it succeeds, it's because of Mac and Jackson, two performers who give their all even when the material is measly."
  • "Even if the film is derivative, predictable, visibly low-budget and crude, it's also darn funny a good deal of the time."
  • "A raucous, rambling comedy, offering some laughs, some groans and a feast for fans of the musical idioms it mocks and celebrates."
  • "It doesn't sound like the likeliest pairing, but it works surprisingly well. Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac make a winning duo in the bawdy buddy road-trip picture 'Soul Men'."
  • "Mac was a magnetic performer with a long history of redeeming mediocre movies; unfortunately this is another one."
