After seeing a few clips of Soul Men a little while ago, I was intrigued by this comedy starring Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac (it also includes one of Isaac Hayes's final performances), which is why I was happy to recently find an actual trailer.
Everyone knows that Jackson is perfectly suited for roles in dark comedies, but to see him as one half of a straight-up buddy movie is kind of unexpected and fun. He looks quite comfortable playing the straight man here. Of course, there are pangs of grief that come with watching this trailer, but it's also joyful to see Bernie Mac on the screen in a warm, bumbling, and funny role. He's the kind of comedian who makes me laugh just with his gestures and the inflection in his voice.
Needless to say, I will definitely be in line with bells on for this one when it hits theaters November 7. To take a look for yourself, read more.

there's been a lot of talk about this movie even before bernie mac passed away and i think that it's nice that we're finally able to see the trailer and see what the movie's all about. i'm sure that a lot of people are going to check it out and i have to say that i think a lot of people would have even if the 2 actors hadn't passed away. we'll see how well it does - but i have to admit that i always like jackson - so i can't wait to see what he does this with project.
