Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain (2013)

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I have friends that really love Kevin Hart for some reason. Then I have friends that I agree with, who have no idea why Hart is funny. My theory is that Kevin Hart has a dumb, or uneducated audience. All this "comedian" does is scream into the microphone about unimportant stuff. I'm sure he worked hard to get where he is today, but most of his material is just not funny. Get Hard with Will Ferrell is in my opinion, the best material he has. The movie received a couple of smiles from me, mostly because the Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart combination works. Also his ego just makes the material just awful to listen to.

This performance was so bad that I felt the need to create an IMDb account just so I can warn anyone who is thinking of buying this. I really do not understand what all the hype is with Kevin Hart. All he does is ramble and scream about nonsense. His delivery is wildly erratic and his material is just not good. Not to mention his ego is the size of Madison square garden and that is evident through the entire performance. I might have cracked a few smiles but that is it, not one laugh throughout the entire performance. If there was a option to give a star lower then a 1 I'd do it, seriously. Where in the hell is Dave Chapelle at when we need him?? Now that's a true comedic genius.

If you can skip past the first 16 minutes of His Narcissistic Introduction, You will find a stand-up routine that is Fresh and comparable to an early Eddy Murphy without all the Raunch. Kevin manages to explain his bad boy image in a way that has you rolling in laughter and agreeing with his views, all the while endearing himself to his audience. His complete Honesty about Lying is so over the top, you start to believe Telling a Lie is an Art Form and you have been doing it wrong all along. Because of his humor, You just can't help but love him for all of his faults, even if he's a Pathological Comedy Genius!

First let me correct one reviewer here that said half of the movie was spent showing clips of his shows around the world. Not True. I intentionally timed it because I read his review before I saw the movie. It was 7 minutes of a skit that made me laugh. Then it was approximately 6 minutes of showing clips of Kevin's shows from around the world. The rest of the movie was stand up comedy. Although I laughed really hard only on certain parts, the whole movie was entertaining to me and that was my goal: to be entertained. Kevin's brand of comedy can be silly at times, and there is nothing wrong with that, if it makes you laugh, and it did. I can't understand why half the viewers here (Since July 6, 2013) had unfavorable things to say about the movie. As I observed, the audience and the fans around the world are happy with what Mr. Hart does in his act.
