Soul Men, directed by Malcolm D. Lee (whose credits include blaxploitation farce Undercover Brother), stars the late Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson as two-thirds of a 1960s soul trio whose lead singer long went on to be a star. When the famous frontman dies, the two remaining members try to bury the hatchet and travel to New York for a memorial gig. Salon's Stephanie Zacharek writes, "The only good reason to see the otherwise dismal comedy Soul Men is to have a look at Bernie Mac in one of his final screen roles... Mac could always deliver a line in a way that seemed laid-back and casual. But he knew how to sharpen the edges of his gags just slightly—his unwillingness to suffer bullshit was always part of his charm."
