Kevin Hart: What Now?

Though What Now? was a better looking comedy movie than his last one Let Me Explain, which makes perfect sense, the comedy routine was not the sharpest Kevin Hart as done.

Speaking of bigger, Kevin Hart's short sketch at the beginning of the concert was just that. Hart parodies James Bond more specifically Casino Royal and does this with special guess the lovely bond girl Halle Berry and Don Cheadele who was hilarious. Hart is pumping his superstar muscle here.

The concert itself was a far bigger stage. The cool part was how some of the images behind him reflected the comedy routine. Far much going on than the pyrotechnics he gave us in Let Me Explain.

But the fire he laid on us was real funny and far more inter graded into the comedy bit. Kevin Hart's gonna make you laugh, that definitely goes without saying. So if you go watch What Now? you got that, but like a Rock Star trying to keep of the momentum (of that money flow), Hart's jokes are a little too safe and generic to hit the gut like he use to.

Bigger better, badder, but not funnier.

This stand up special is not very good. I think it probably is just as simple as Kevin Hart having done too much stuff too quickly and too recently.

I have liked his stuff in the past including his stand up comedy appearances and also his early movie roles. But his more recent stuff including starring movie roles in lesser quality movies and especially his stand up comedy are just not up to the same quality I'm used to seeing from him.

I hope he takes some time off to write and develop some stronger stuff instead of just churning stuff out this quickly in the future, to bring the quality up.

Watched this with my movie theatre-working friend and his nephew who managed to telegraph many of the jokes Kevin Hart was telling at the concert depicted in this film beforehand. There was also a prologue and epilogue concerning Hart's James Bond-like adventure with Halle Berry that was amusing in spots if not hilarious. His concert was mostly stream-of-consciousness about his family, his girlfriend, and his old friends. Many of it was pretty raunchy with some good laughs scattered throughout. The concert was filmed in Philadelphia in front of a huge crowd at a football stadium. That crowd is seen at various points laughing it up at Hart's material. Overall, Kevin Hart: What Now? was mostly a good time for me and my friends.

Kevin Hart: What Now is a really funny comedy special that's padded to feature length by some unwanted scripted sketches which bookend it. Halle Berry is always a welcome presence who exudes grace effortlessly and Don Cheadle is having fun but these scenes are undoubtedly filler. However, there's still a few good jokes in these bits thanks to a scene parodying The Equalizer and a neat gag involving subtitles.

The special itself is actually more than funny enough to sustain its run time. The material can get surprisingly personal when he talks about his greatest shame surrounding his sex life and the best moments come from the stories that sound unreal. He returns to some of his biggest punchlines a bit too much in this one but those bits work more often than they don't and the backdrops changing to match his jokes works with them.

First off, I'm a huge fan of Kevin Hart. Over the years he has blossomed into a great actor and a great comedian. Watching what now made me really disappointed. Kevin hart used the same material as he did from a couple years ago. Everyone is looking for the next bug thing and Kevin Hart didn't exceed in that. Also, making a movie/ comedy show isn't really a great idea. I wanted to see action in this movie. What happened to the guy that Kevin Hart stabbed? Were his guys ever going to find Kevin Hart? Kevin Hart should just stick to doing comedy movies with Ice Cube and Dwayne Johnson. Very disappointing! And as you saw, many people in the audience weren't please they were expecting more.
