Movie Reviews of Chris Rock - Never Scared
Movie Review: as funny as early Richard Pryor!
Summary: 4 Stars
In many ways, this concert is very similar to mid-70's Richard Pryor - outrageous, profane, and side-splitting funny. I never thought I'd say this about Chris Rock. Sure, lots of profanity here...so if this offends you, this is not for you. To the 2-star reviewer who commented this is "anti-white"...lighten up. I got news for you - it's 2004. Making fun of white people is OK. Especially when you do it well. The humor here is not just racial - it's about men/women relationships, sex, social commentary and politics too. And lots of profanity. But really no different than most live comedians these days. As a big Richard Pryor fan, and Robin Williams too, this is right up there. From someone who was not a big fan of Chris Rock...until now!Movie Review: Saw This LIVE and Loved It!
Summary: 4 Stars
"Chris Rock-Never Scared" is actually a concert recorded during a stop on Chris's "Black Ambition" tour that hit arenas early in 2004. I saw the tour in Los Angeles in February. I don't know about the other reviewers, but we in LA were having gut-bursting laughs. Not as funny as "Bring The Pain" but a million laughs more than "Bigger and Blacker". We laughed at the "keeping my daughter off the pole routine". We laughed at the preachy stuff as well (the distinction between being RICH and WEALTHY). The whole audience was in stitches. Definitely the funniest stand-up concert I've ever seen! It made me wish that I somehow snuck a tape recorder with me into the show...thank God for DVD's!Movie Review: Part soapbox, Mostly hilarious
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll admit that there was a (very short) stretch during this show where I felt Chris Rock got a bit carried away with his political and racial beefs. "It's all right, if it's all white" is funny once, not five times. I'm white, I can handle the ugly truth, but shoving it down my throat by using the stage as a soapbox isn't gonna make me laugh.If you've seen some of George Carlin's later shows, when he became far too 'preachy' with his political grievances, you know what I mean.
Nevertheless, 90% of this show was Chris Rock at his finest and sharpest, and will have any fan glued, laughing 'til your face hurts.
Movie Review: very good
Summary: 4 Stars
Very enjoyable and funny show. Starts slowly by poking fun at usual targets, but once on social/political turf, really shines.
I suspect that folks who gave this show very low ratings prefer earlier, less mature Chris Rock spitting out profanities, but eventually saying nothing of any relevance.
Of course, CR ain't Pryor, but is slowly developing his own style. It is pointless comparing him to classics. Pryor, Bruce...
Movie Review: So good I bought both the CD and DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Well Chris is back and he has moved on to a new part of his life which is reflected in his material. My personal favourite bits were ' I nver got a smart lap dance' and 'Being Married'.
He has mellowed a bit in the humour but he still can provide the knock out punch of humour..
