Actually, I was disappointed. This movie had two excellent actors and the best the writers could come up with was an over the top bleep show. One word to describe – sad. Great music, story line of two over the hill... Full review

Half the jokes are just to see how strong the language can get without really ever being funny. How extreme can we go. Silly and embarassing. A disappointment.... Full review

looks well during the film....two of the film's actors are dead.....Soul Men is a funny road trip with Mac and Jackson riffing off well on each other (the two knew each other socially for quite some time).....some fine music....a fitting memorial to Hayes' music or Mac's comedy.... ... Full Review

Malcolm D. Lee: Well, they're going to see one of the greatest comedy duos ever to grace the screen. Malcolm D. Lee: I just tried to listen to all of the music, as much of it as I could, and got a really good music supervisor, which I did in Alex Steyermark, who had done a ton of movies and a lot of them with on-screen performances, and that was vitally important. ...

There are some behind-the-scenes extras that really accentuate the film's flaws and how the film came together just the way these projects shouldn't. Together these guys are funny, each providing their own piece of incredible chemistry that makes this movie worth seeking out despite its vast number of flaws. ... Full Review

A scene at a country western bar is nice....Bernie wasn't afraid to speak common sense truths about how he lived life.....The chemistry that he shares with Jackson is quite surprising as well, full of laughs, but also the occasional poignant moment..... ... Full Review
