Movie Reviews of Chris Rock - Never Scared
Movie Review: Chris Rock's best yet!
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know how he does it, but Chris Rock has a way of turning the average bits and pieces of all our lives into something absolutely too funny for words! I will never understand how I can like someone so politically opposite me, yet I do! Chris Rock rocks 'em with this special!Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 4 Stars
Never Scared was soooooooo funny, it was much better than Bigger and Blacker...which most people don't agree with. I almost cried watching this movie, it was hilarious...a must for the DVD collection!Movie Review: Funniest Man Alive
Summary: 4 Stars
Although nothing could be as funny as Bring the Pain. Chris Rock doesn't let his fans down with Never Scared. He IS the funniest man in America!Movie Review: Funny? Yes. Original? Barely. Genius? No way.
Summary: 3 Stars
He's a funny guy, but like ALL African-American comedy shows, from HBO to the hole-in-the-wall comedy clubs, the loudest laughs come at the expense of Caucasians. It's sad to know in this day and age of terrorism, political uncertainty, and war that Chris Rock can still cash in on racism. This isn't news though is it? Show me a black comedian who doesn't rip on Caucasians, and THAT will be original.
You know while some white people would be offended in an angry way by this, speaking for myself, it hurts my feelings more than anything else. The way I was raised--- to accept everybody for who they are, that racism is bad, equal rights are good and many other values passed to me from my WHITE parents and grandparents. All of that is rendered moot by people like Chris Rock who can't help but generalize, lump us all into evil groups of white-devils looking for the next, best way to keep a brother down--- as if morning, noon, and night this is the "white man's" sole pastime and occupation.
With so much going on in the world today that we *should* joke about, here comes Chris Rock to pick at the scabs of history for a cheap laugh, all the while believing that he isn't a bigot. Now, if a white comedian said one sideways thing about blacks, you know what would happen.
So if you're black, and love rubbing the past into the faces of people who weren't there, and if you would rather participate in the creation of more animosity and mistrust between peoples of different colors during a time in our country's history where we should all be sticking together, then by all means buy this and have yourself a hardy-har-har!
It IS funny and it would be getting 4 stars if he could lay off off the racism, but then, name a black comedian of this generation who can... good luck.
Movie Review: Never Scared.. Never made me laugh
Summary: 3 Stars
While Mr. Rock did bring out some laughter, it did not come from the 'gut' like his other skits.
The pros:
+The women complaining....you'll never run out of material here.
+I could see the truth in the Nelson Mandela enduring 27 years in a So. Africa Prison Camp...but could not even stand 6 months of marriage with his wife.
+Now, his only purpose in life is to keep his daughter off the (strip) pole. Like that's really a high expectation.
+Attempts to introduce and arouse interest in politics.
The Cons:
-Good intro and ending, but that in between was really long.
-Too much zooming around at the crowd to show their reaction. Sure, out of 10,000, your going to have some people laughing.
-Sketches on drugs, the white man, lap dances, were all played out.
However, still better than most other comedians. It's hard staying funny for all these years.
