Uma Festa no Ar

For all of you that like the black comedic-type films similar to some of the Wayans Brothers work, then this is the film for you. But if you can't handle or dislike outrageous silliness, which can only make you laugh because it's just...well, too silly (why else would we laugh?), then you might want to pass this one up. Rather simply, I have already summed this film up - outrageous silliness. And it centers around some of the more popular themes like....sex, more sex, sex again, drugs, sex, and.........this is a shocker.....(no, no more sex) manages to throw in, with a semi-effort, profound themes like a father's feelings of losing his daughter, consummate love and immolation, and the definition of true friendship. Intertwined within all of this is humor common to the stereotypical definition of the ghetto and the hood. In other words "phat" rims, cool rides, foxy booty honeys, pimp daddys, gold chains, puffing on the "L", sexual chocolate, and an asuntry of other familiar brandings. Prepare yourself for a crazy flight aboard the Soul Plane. Peace out.

The title tell s you where its heading. A commercial Hollywood producing with the word 'Soul' says its going to be a parody of Black culture an d characteristics done badly and diluted so as to cash in on mainstream. Result, offend everyone in its morals and production.

Racial stereotypes and black/white culture are embraced rather than dispelled. Tom Arnold definitely steals the show as he is an excellent comedy actor. Some of the jokes are forced. Some awkward moments. Dwayne Adway is a bit weak in the leading role needed to stick to being the straight man. Stewardess Sofia Vergara has landed in this film from being pictured on a footballer's arm. And like Francine Dee (who plays the Chinese stripper here)is another one of the models and women that have appeared as portraits by the GB artist and psychic Stephen Armourae. This film tries to be an Airplane spoof. But that in itself was a spoof. Double negatives don't work well. But it has enough laughs to be worth looking at.

Soulplane is just down right stupid!, You'll probably never see another movie quite like this! Some would say that's a good thing, but I've just watched it twice this weekend (almost didn't rent it because I read these reviews 1st) & literally laughed all the way through this movie. I've seen some pimped out rides, but a pimped out plane? I think people are taking this movie way too seriously, or they don't know how, when or why to laugh at this specific type of cultural humor, this is very obviously a FUBU movie, but there's no reason for others to bash this movie. The movie just pokes fun at everything & everybody (regardless of race, sex &/or religion). People it's not "Friday" but it is a good slapstick comedy thats great for a few laughs.

Yes, Soul Plane is no Kurosawa or de Sica stuff, but it's funny.

Yes, it contains vulgarity, nauseating scenes, foul-mouthing, insults, indiscriminate use of the omnipresent "N-word" and "Motherf---ers", racial stereotyping and what-have-you, but everything in it is so absurd that it becomes funny. Actually absurdity is, in my opinion,the strongest point of this movie; it's so extreme in its incredulity that not for a single moment does it let one feel that this movie, even in one's wildest dream (with or without any assistance from pot), could have the slightest similarity to reality! Thus, all one needs to do to enjoy this movie is to switch off all logical reasoning and just watch it for the fun of it.

Though I am not an African-American person (and thus, I can not comment on the humiliation felt by some African-American reviewers), I can see that this is not a racist movie; rather, it pokes fun at many of the prevailing stereotypes, though definitely not in a polished way.

Come on! If a movie like this can make one believe that all blacks are busy smoking pots and whoring, then one must be having the brain of a caterpillar. I'm sure, most people know about renowned personalities such as Langston Hughes, Tony Morrison and Condoleezza Rice (to name just a few)and their contributions in their respective field of choice.

Actually, I found it more offending to see Jammie Foxx using "motherf---er" in "Collateral" (because it did not fit his decent disposition, and that, to me, was surely Hollywood stereotyping, where every black actor must foul mouth!) than Muggsy using the N-word here. I also found it equally funny, when Marsellus Wallace asks Butch:"Are you my ni---r?" in "Pulp Fiction", but not when, Harvey Keital used the N-word in "Reservoir Dogs". But then, that's me!

I don't know what Moviecaine is talking about. Some people read to much into movies, and pick apart every minute detail, failing to see the humor in movies such as this. This was a hilarious movie, and would recommend it to every hip-hop movie fan out there. The part where Hughley was in the bathroom with Tom Arnold, and kicks on Push It is great. Snoop, Method Man were in fine style all the way through the movie. It borders on unrealism with the plane, as it almost seems like the plane is bigger then it is with all the rooms, the big party room, high class seating, and no-class seating.

The soundtrack definitely fit the flow of the movie, and added to the mood.
