Soul Plane is not intended to be taken all that seriously. Our main character Nashawn (Kevin Hart) wins $100 million in damages after an aviation accident, and decides to start his own airline. Antics ensue. Essentially, this is supposed to be a black homage to Airplane!, and there is the occasional genuinely hilarious moment (the Destiny’s Child safety video, the horrified reaction when a Middle Eastern man boards the plane). But any actual humour is quickly drowned out by rampant misogyny and racism, toilet humour and stupid dancing, sexual references which range from gross to downright disturbing. Nashawn’s attempt to rekindle a romance with his ex is supposed to provide some heart to all the proceedings, but is so flat that the movie would’ve actually benefitted from omitting it altogether. Soul Plane is pretty much exactly what you would expect, and as a result, it’s impossible for it to ascend much above the ground.
