Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and now, the party is over for the carefree, pampered, and very white California kid, Mark Watson. As a result, with his self-made millionaire father refusing to pay the tuition to attend the prestigious Harvard Law School, Mark's only hope rests on a full scholarship intended for an African-American applicant, and a bunch of tanning pills. Now, with his curly perm and the dark complexion, Mark can fraudulently make his dream come true; however, has Mark ever considered the ramifications, moral and legal, of his deception?
Leave your thoughts about Soul Man.
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIt has a breezy, unapologetic manner. And it also happens to be funny, which goes a long way toward making up for any underlying obtuseness or insensitivity. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumUnreal, politically dumb premise with Howell in blackface . |
| The Associated PressBob ThomasThere are some good moments in SOUL MAN, but Gross steals the picture; he has the best lines and makes the most of them. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenChong breathes some occasional life into Soul Man, as does Arye Gross, who displays a rich variety of comic attitudes as Mark's roommate. What surrounds them, though, is a black comedy with so little gumption, it ends up a vague shade of gray, composed of a collection of cheap jokes excused by smug platitudes about race -- in short, a movie called Soul Man whose soul, it seems, is quite lost. |
| Brag MagazineClint MorrisHowell is awesome in this unforgettable comedy classic |
| Washington PostRita KempleyOf course, simply everyone is completely bamboozled by our hero's disguise, even though he now looks like a Ken doll with liver disease. |
| EmpireLiz BeardsworthHowell makes the least convincing black guy ever, his eventual contrition feels hollow and forced — much like the laughs. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrHowell, a second-string Rob Lowe, has the title role in this embarrassing variation on "Black Like Me," a half-witted collegiate farce guaranteed to offend just about everybody. Blacks are stereotyped as they haven't been in decades, and whites are portrayed as Boston bigots and selfish preppies. But the really pathetic thing about this tired old knee-jerker is not that it's racist, but that it's racist and doesn't even know it. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a genuinely interesting idea, filled with dramatic possibilities, but the movie approaches it on the level of a dim-witted sit-com. Thoughtful scenes are followed by slapstick, emotional moments lead right into farce, and the movie doesn't have an ounce of true moral courage; it sidesteps every single big issue that it raises. |
