A great movie but... Dec 19 2007

By J. Booker

Format:DVD

I really enjoyed this movie but it is a bit dated. The DVD quality could be improved a lot as well. It is a movie well worth watching but it would be great if the DVD could be improved.

The best movie in my life. April 8 2004

By A Customer

Hi,
Soul Man is one of those movies that make me feel so good with the world. Someone said that this movie was a racist one but, after so long time, I can say that it was the best way to show how the integration between races is so much well described in this great movie. Yes, maybe it wasnt a super billionar movie but with its simplicity and fresh way to see the world, it is the movie that must be in a home movie collection !
I'm a white and I'm so proud of the blacks and maybe this movie made more than the same blacks think.
Thanks Soul Man.

My Favorite Movie In The Whole World! Oct 5 2003

First off let me say this, I'm black and I have never been offended by Soul Man though a lot of people have. I know when the film came out there were protesters and a lot of media hassles because some felt it was racist. It wasn't racist or offensive to me and Soul Man has always been my favorite movie. I thought it was funny and I would love to see it re-done these days. I believe it would be even funnier. I don't believe the filmmakers put black people down by having C. Thomas Howell pretend to be black. Sure he said some ignorant things and the film made references to how black people talk and act, but it was harmless and only to prove a point. People know no one acts as dumb as he did, being black or white. I never understood why some people cause trouble where there is none. This is a good, wholesome movie. I'm a lot more offended by the trash that's in the movie these days than anything I saw in Soul Man. I loved the movie and developed a huge crush on C. Thomas Howell when I was a kid because of this film. And I thought he looked great black! I wish his future roles had been so entertaining. This is his best work. The basketball scene and " Shaft " scene are my favorites. I wished they would have done a scene with Mark and Sara going to a danceclub. That would have been hilarious and fun to see how he handled things.

If you like good clean fun, this is for you! The ultimate buddy movie and one of the best date movies ever. No matter what year it is.
