Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Funny with a real life lesson
Soul Man will keep you laughing! Features a superb cast with renowned actor, James Earl Jones. Also has a very cool 80's soundtrack but most importantly, a surpising life lesson attached. I won't elaborate too much, but Soulman is worth adding to your collection of movies. Some situations are not appropriate for children under 13.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Interracial sexism
What does make America being America?

Certainly, it is an ability to see personal serious problems from different points of views, while laughing at them and being at the end of a day proud Americans regardless race, faith and other sometimes troubling sex-life differences.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Colorblind when it comes to Laughter!!!!!
I like this movie. I tell you why. As first you think, wow that is so uncool and very mean spirited way to get a scholar.

When he went to the Kitchen without ... Read More

As we continue to be stifled by the almost unbearable, oppressive air of political correctness by the people who constantly complain about oppression, there is no doubt in my mind that Soul Man could not be made today.

For centuries, people have been using comedy as a way to explore issues that would be seen as didactic if addressed with a straight face. Literature giants like Voltaire used comedy to address social issues, with his story Candide being one of the funniest things I've ever read. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Classic!
This is a pure classic. Comedy gold. Everyone is at the top of their game in it, James Earl Jones C. Thomas Howell, Rae Dawn Chong, Arye Gross, a pre-Seinfeld Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The commentary by Steve Miner and C. Thomas Howell is cool and informative. They are bewildered at all the controversy this film caused, and so am I. Because in the 80's, I never heard any controversy about this film, because I was a kid, enjoying it. Anyone that says this film is racist is ignorant, or has no sense of humor. ... Read More
