i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Excellent but underrated film
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
View MoreHe was trying too hard and this stand up was very hard to watch. I felt embarrassed for him. Some of the content was iffy... I did not laugh at all throughout the whole show and i played it twice to see if maybe I had missed any laughs.
View MoreWatched the first 20 minutes of this. Want those 20 minutes back. Mundane, boring and lacking in laughs to the point where I would feel embarrassed for the guy if it wasn't so bad...How does someone lacking in talent get so far and put on such a big production...baffling. I think he spent more time on organising the props and setup of the show than actually writing material.Avoid. Shizen.
View MoreI do not know how people rate these actors and comedians but they all lack substance! I have been reviewing and acting for over 20 years (Yeah when the internet only existed in College) No one had cell phones! Now today everyone is a critic, Many of these people are so unprofessional, Kevin Hart is my main man in Comedy! I can not find anyone in this world that can make everyone laugh! everyone being the keyword! Grab your favorite comedians in America and let's send them to Egypt! now let's test the laugh meter! Yeah, that is what I thought! Kevin Hart makes camels laugh and they are not even human! Kevin Hart is also humble and gives credits to the greats in comedy but unfortunately for you Kevin YOU ARE NOW A LEGEND! You work absolutely hard and go beyond those that have been there before! largest crowd in American comedy history! So close to selling out over 70,000 which is the world record in the UK.
View MoreThis is my review of Kevin Hart: What Now? (spoiler free)*** (3/5)AS A COMEDY film star Kevin Hart isn't funny as his annoying high pitched voice takes over the entirety of the movies, and he delivers one high pitched screamed un-funny line to the other horrendously un-funny line. However as an on-stage stand-up comedian he is relentlessly funny; for the most part anyway. After the staggering success of his other live concert movies Let Me Explain and Laugh at my Pain he returns to his home town tour in Philadelphia with more comedic material performing live in front of a record-breaking 50,000 people at Philadelphia's outdoor venue, the Lincoln Financial Field an American football stadium, it is the biggest ever audience for a comedy show as the stadium is at capacity. What Now? opens with an ill-advised short film like sketch directed by Tim Story, no not the director of the Ride Along series, as it stars Hart as a spy named Agent 0054 alongside Halle Berry, unfortunately this is Hart with his usual mannerisms or Hartisms as it relies on poor continuity with the jokes so it delivers more dry laughs as he tries to be funny but drastically fails. The scene plays in a casino that he has to go into to find a person to infiltrate look out for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo of Hangover star Ed Helms, but the rest of the scene although original is filled with poor continuation, repetition and even a mediocre fight scene with Hart being braver than he normally is and not screaming his lungs out every few minutes. All this takes place three hours before the show, and it ends with Hart covered in blood and changing for the show. Finally he appears on stage with black-on-black attire and some more original material with 50,000 people thinking he is a good. While watching a live comedy performance on such a big stage in front of a massive audience there is always one thing to consider; how funny is the material? Or will it stop funny half way through? In What Now it relies on some of the simplest pleasures and that is Hart's storytelling as he mainly talks about his personal life with his kids and his wife, whom he calls his lady as we learn that some of the funniest comedy comes that comes from the performer is always comedy about real life places and people. So, Hart takes over the stage shouting, screaming, sweating and pacing telling these relentlessly funny stories about his kids and the camera shows some of the audience holding their head in their hands and crying with laughter. What follows through-out for most of the entire film is this material about his adored personal life that has quite a range as it starts out being sort of funny, and then continues to be hugely hilarious with every single member of the audience screaming and laughing and even a couple of time can be seen copying some of the lines. This only happens in the first 2/3 of the movie, but unfortunately the last 1/3 relies on drearier storytelling, same old material as he copies some of the same jokes and there are mediocre laughs as some of the audience starts to get a little bored, there are a couple of moments that stick out but none of them will take of the hilarity over the 2/3 of the film. To end it goes back to the ending of the spy sketch and continuing with the poor comedic standard and he wants to take his comedy all over the world and asks will the world think he is funny? So is he funny? It all depends. Despite some of the un-funny Hollywood trappings, in the Ride Along double and some massively ill-advised giant-screen visuals which intend to augment some of his hackneyed routines, Hart's actual stand-up is funny and doesn't rely on too much movie bombast or too heavy of a Hollywood ego.VERDICT: Hart's third live concert movie is relentlessly funny for the most part with 50,000 people thinking he's hilarious and crying with laughter, but unfortunately the rest of What Now is filled with repetition, poor continuation and dry mediocre laughs.6/10 mediocre.
