More Kevin Hart

Anyway, I stepped into the movie and stayed for about 25 minutes, and honestly, I couldn't see what was so great about the movie.
What really annoyed me was Chris Rock. And I still cannot accept him as a "leading" movie man.
Kevin Hart - yes! He just seems like a natural.
Rosario's character was OK, but I couldn't see the point of the movie. What was it about?
Normally in 20 - 30 minutes you know the plot of the movie, but this one seemed to be a conversation among people about someone who was resurrecting his career.

I think that was part of Chris Rock's point. People expect him to be funny, when actually this movie was along the lines of a Woody Allen or Spike Lee joint, just showing a day in the life of a celebrity in New York and how the public perceives him vs. how he perceives himself.

If you want to hate something, go to imdb.

For me, it was Chris Rock. Sorry, but he's not an "actor/comedian". He can't separate himself from his real self on screen.
He's a great great standup, and I loved Good Hair, because he was like a roving reporter.
But this movie demands an actor/comedian, and he isn't a screen presence at all. He's a standup comedian, who's grin stays on his face all the doggone time and that grin never leaves, even when he's serious.

I feel the exact opposite way about Rock and Hart; to me, Rock is interesting, Hart is only tolerable in small doses... but that's what's cool about opinions, there's lots of different ones!

but this one seemed to be a conversation among people about someone who was resurrecting his career.

Why can't a movie be about that? That sums it up pretty well for me, and I'm fine with that... A 'plot' doesn't always need twists and turns, just the basic idea that you expressed.
