In Malcolm D. Lee's comedy "Soul Men," Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson stars as two soul legends who embark on a road trip to participate in a tribute at the Apollo in Memphis, Tenn. I can't say I loved the movie, but the performances of the two lead actors sure kept me awake. Let's see what the Web's critics have to say about it:

• Brian Orndorf at Collider: "It should come as no surprise that Mac and Jackson work beautifully together."

• Katey Rich at Cinema Blend: "What keeps the movie going is the music, both in hearing The Real Deal's old songs and Floyd and Louis's occasional performances."

• Cinematical's Jeffrey M. Anderson: "Mac and Jackson are even better offstage."

• LatinoReview's George Roush: "The acting is probably the only real highlight to this."
