Soul Men-Old School Fun
If a lot of swearing bothers you, you won't like this movie. If explicit sexual content gets on your nerves, you won't like this movie. But if you can appreciate Redd Foxx, Moms Mabley, or Richard Pryor, then Soul Men is for you. They cuss a lot in this movie, but they do so artfully, not angrily, like so many of the younger comics do. The storyline is more thoughtful than it seemed from the trailers and with the passing of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, its commentary on growing older and friendship is even more poignant. The performances are great, and the surprise cameos are a lot of fun. See the movie while it's in the theaters and the get the DVD.
