Soul Men

(USA, 2008, 98 minutes)

Two star soul singers of the sixties who have since retired from the music business and haven't spoken to each other in years agree to reunite and drive to New York to perform at a colleague's funeral. Dull comedy that wastes its two star performances on a by-the-numbers script and tone-deaf handling.
