Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

That was an excellent one.

Sadly Over-hyped

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

*Does contain some small spoilers* Overall an 8.5 IMO. With the exception of the drawn-out bit about LL.Cool.J and a couple other jokes, the routine was pure fire from start to finish. I really think most people didn't understand Jamie's humor or missed a lot of the subtleties & nuances. Even his presence on the stage and his sheer talent from hilarious impersonations to playing the piano & singing make him a great entertainer. Granted his jokes are raw and definitely non-PC. If you're a conservative suburbanite in his/her 50's, you probably won't understand or enjoy this. Otherwise this is Jamie Foxx at his best. His style is naturally funny, his impersonations are on target and the jokes he comes up with are creative/crazy as hell! Highly recommended! I can never watch a movie or comedy routine more than once or twice and I've seen this at least 10 times!

HILARIOUS!!! He's by far my favorite he's not getting' an extra star tho, because too much cursing. Not that it bothers me but he won't be getting anywhere with this. But I do love the way he uses them in the Punchlines. They're Essential. And Player can surely sing! Toared it Up!!! To all haters,I don't need to remind you'all about COLLATERAL, RAY, Miami VICE... Common men, one of the funniest sitcoms, certified & several times nominated best actor, and the singing with the Piano... Mastered to a high level!!! (I'm a vocal coach so I What I'm talking about) STOP THE HATE, APPRECIATE...... STOP THE HATE, APPRECIATE...... STOP THE HATE, APPRECIATE!!!

Despite other user comments here, I cannot deny that JAMIE FOXX: I MIGHT NEED SECURITY was one of the funniest stand-up specials I have ever seen on HBO. I was rolling on the floor for the majority of this film and have found that after dozens of viewings, it still makes me laugh out loud. The stories he related regarding Al Pacino and LL Cool J on the set of ANY GIVEN Sunday were hysterical as well as his dissing of Jennifer Lopez and Mike Tyson. And I couldn't help but crack up when he explained that Whitney Houston wasn't a crackhead, just "crack-ish." Not to mention referring to Bobby Brown as the "King of Rocks and Blunts". His African Adventure and his story about Prince were also fall-on-the-floor funny. I don't care what other posters say, if you like stand-up comedy that doesn't pull any punches, this is one of the best.

This special appears on cable from time to time and I really wonder when standup's became story teller's? There is not one joke on this special. Not one one-liner would have appeared on Letterman or Leno or ... Not one thing he says is poetic, like one reviewer previously mentioned, and if his performance were to be transcribed, it would be in no way, shape or form, be legible. Luckily, Foxx is enthusiastic, the reason acting gigs keep popping up. He finds his material funny and his smiles translate to audience smiles. His amicability hides many of his shortcomings in regards to old jokes or no jokes at all. Still, it's only shown late at night and if you enjoy falling asleep to a Foxx talking about Africa, this might be for you.
