Profile of Soul Men

The mood of Soul Men is bittersweet, sentimental, and touching. The plot centers around a reunion, the life of a musician, and artists and showbiz. It is a comedy and drama movie. Stylistically, Soul Men has a road movie structure. In approach, it is realistic. The setting is the USA. Soul Men happens in contemporary times. The musical score is soul and R&B. Note that it includes nudity, sexual content, and profanity.

Summary of Soul Men

Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd (Bernie Mac) used to be one of the country's top musical duos, until they broke up and never spoke again. Old animosities resurface 20 years later when the two are thrust together on a cross-country trip to take part in a tribute concert honoring their late band leader. Louis and Floyd have just five short days to bury the hatchet -- hopefully not in someone's head -- before they take the stage at New York's Apollo Theater.

Critics Reviews

Rolling Stone
Soul Men is a chance to salute these masters of mirth and music. Take it.
Chicago Tribune
The funniest bit in the crude but diverting Soul Men really makes you miss Bernie Mac, who died in August, a few months after completing the picture.
