A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Everyone lives in their own movie. We make up that movie from those we see, and many of us don't know it. Some movies are made purely to help us define ourselves and these are necessarily targeted to certain demographics. Nowhere is this more true than in the gay, teen and black worlds.Chris Rock now sits on the throne between where there used to be two seats, the Bill Cosby and Richard Prior seats. That means he has to alternate between helping Blacks laugh at themselves and animating conspiracies. He must have found a sweet spot: hard for me to judge, I'm sort of a George Carlin kind of guy.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

Oh dear! a politically incorrect, Politically unfocused and finger-pointing humorist that scathes mostly the black American experience: Well that's as old as riots in the 'hood, and yet his twists and turns of that finger has white folks squirming too. In the wake of 9/11 it is an almost obligatory and disappointing side to his (and others) humour that he qualifies his tirades with: 'I love America......but" and so forth. This is Chris 'fourth HBO outing and he is as provocative and engaging as his fans could have hoped for. Its clear when he's off the mark as the audience waits respectfully for a truer hit. But these times are few and his charming vulgarity wins you over. Along with Richard Pryor & Eddie Murphy he proves to be one of the top three-black - if not American-broadcast stand-ups of today

I'm going to disagree with you Mr. Stanton when I say this show was enjoyable.But Chris Rock, can do great things and can say some great things, so it wasn't as vapid as you suggested.There are times Chris seemed to fall on old standby concepts too often: the sexual vulgarity, didn't quite pull that off as well as Bigger and Blacker, I couldn't tell whether Chris was committing treason or comitting murder, but some things just did not fly.Overall I enjoyed the show, though it wasn't Chris at his best.

I always thought Chris Tucker was funnier, I may need to re-think that. Chris Rock is at his finest here. He goes where no other comics dare to go. Michael Jackson, affirmative action, George Bush, marriage, the US government, IRAQ, abortion, rappers. Controversial topics with many f-en-heimers. Serious topics with a very real and funny spin to each one of them. This guy actually makes sense, and is quite intelligent (also very funny, but you already knew that). I couldn't help but laugh my ass off for 75 minutes, however at times I felt I shouldn't be laughing (realizing that history was very brutal many years ago). Highly recommended and very hilarious if you don't mind the foul language. I gave it a 10.
