Bernie Mac's BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!, 3 February 2009
10/10
Author: zhivkot from Bourgas, Bulgaria

When I first saw the movie, I was completely blown away from this movie! It is absolutely hilarious! This is one of the most funny movies I have ever watched. Bernie Mac was absolutely terrific in the movie. I haven't seen this kind of performance for years. I Can't even fully describe him...he is electrifying in Soul Men. For me he is one of the best comedians ever. I love it when he makes that crazy eye look.

The movie is by far the best comedy of 2008! It's full of the that typical humor in the "black" comedies. I have not been laughing as this for a long, long time! I Wanted to see this movie again and again, i can't stop watching it! If you look for a superb comedy - THIS IS THE MOVIE! Forget Burn after reading and all other so called comedies!
