The Boys Next Door is everything that 80's teen movies are NOT - and that is why I loved it. It's very realistic and brutally honest in its portrayal of teens who are outcast from their peers, and the effects it has on them. Not to mention both characters come from broken homes where it appears no one pays attention to them - another major problem of kids growing up in the US from the 70's to the present. Charlie Sheen does a great job, but Maxwell Caulfield steals the show.

This violence is extremely realistic and disturbing. But it has a point. The language is dead on too - this is the way kids talked in 1985.

This movie touches on a side of American society that most would choose to ignore, and that's why it is so powerful. Don't believe the negative reviews. This is an excellent movie.

I can sum it up in one sentence: Soul Plane is hilarious. I laughed from beginning to end. Yes the movie is filled with several racial stereotypes, yes the humor is crude, yes it is kind of foolish...but Soul Plane has only one intention - To make the viewer laugh. And it definitely succeeds at that. I'm not even a fan of Tom Arnold, but even he is funny is this movie. Also, the interactions between Snoop Dogg and his African co-pilot are some of the best scenes in the movie. I fell off the couch laughing a few times.

I read a lot of the other reviews on here, and honestly people get way too worked up about racial humor. I find it ridiculous that even when black people make fun of themselves...nobody can handle it. Get a grip on your life people. If you saw the title "Soul Plane", headlined by Snoop and Tom Arnold, and were expecting an academy award winner...well, you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer!
