The radical transformation begins in the terminal, but the pink hip-hop plane with its bootylicious flight attendants, drastically different passenger compartments, onboard bar and dance floor, and overall atmosphere is unbelievably over-the-top.
Most people should already know whether or not they are likely to enjoy Soul Plane before watching it; making Airplane look like lofty, sophisticated humor, this film seemingly takes great joy in seeing just how low and far it can push the envelope of humor.

 TheMovieBoy Review - Soul Plane (2004)
The second distaff remake in two months with a predominantly fl cast, "Soul Plane"—loosely based on 1980's classic "Airplane!"—is not quite as physically painful as "Johnson Family Vacation"—loosely based on 1983's classic "National Lampoon's Vacation"—but these two updates are still far too close in quality for comfort.
Whereas "Airplane!" held an endless stream of one outrageous slapstick gag after the next, "Soul Plane" screenwriters Bo Zenga and Chuck Wilson are not nearly as capable or ambitious in their humor.
This fact, however, does not take away from how piddling and dreary the experience of watching it is. If "Soul Plane" succeeds at anything, it will likely inspire viewers to immediately rewatch "Airplane!" to wash out the bad taste this new movie pollutes into their mouths.

They serve as the butt of many jokes, particularly because they are stuck in the lower class section of the plane, which resembles a subway car decked out with handrails for the standing-room-only section.
First-time director Jessy Terrero keeps SOUL PLANE running at a turbulent pace throughout, firing off gags straight from take off, and ending the movie with a smooth landing--ultimately providing a satisfying flight for all passengers.
If you want to laugh, pick up this movie, "Soul Plane." It is very vulgar so beware if you are skittish, yet there are so many laugh out loud moments in the movie it is worth a watching.

 Metromix. Movie review: 'Soul Plane'
"Soul Plane" offers all three--the first two leaving lead actor Kevin Hart stuck to an airplane potty, the third hurling his pet dog into a jet engine.
Cast Snoop Dogg as the ever-stoned pilot, throw in plenty of sight gags that conform to fl stereotypes--the plane has chrome wheels, Colt 45 signs decorate the interior, the overhead compartments require a 25-cent deposit, etc.--and you've got an ad campaign to lure the unsuspecting to the multiplex.
For good measure "Soul Plane" also includes a constant stream of homophobic jokes and one gag in which the punch line is simply: A bearded guy in a turban has boarded the plane!

 Soul Plane
People come aboard and happily accept what goes on here, despite the fact that NWA is the first airline to feature such perks.
The reason this movie is so distasteful is that it presents a young man in Nashawn who wants to create an airline for the fl traveler, yet its flagship jumbo jet is so obviously hazardous to the safety of its passengers.
Once the plane is airborne, the camera jumps around to observe the eccentric passengers, who range from rude security guards to a blind man who gropes females.

 Soul Plane (2004): Tom Arnold, Kevin Hart, Method Man, Snoop Dogg - PopMatters Film Review
And yet, perhaps there is a logic to this sequence of events; it might be that the tribulations of his home life produced the tiresome distractedness of his performance in Soul Plane.
Captain Mack does have a reason to appear, namely, to pilot the first flight of NWA, the "fl" airline funded by a $100 million court ruling for Nashawn (Kevin Hart).
The case has not much to do with a first sequence, in which Nashawn's cute little puppy is blasted out of a "white" plane's cargo hold and sucked into the engine mid-flight.

I didn't, but Mo'Nique and Snoop Dogg's respective delivery of those words, along with their obvious presence and enthusiasm, made me laugh along and join the party-like atmosphere in this film and its cool-ass plane.
The premise of the movie is a funny one, with the stereotypical African-American flying experience including stuff like the concourse X (featuring a chicken/waffle restaurant) for flight 69 of the NWA airlines.
