neil-arsenal This dude was getting more downloads that most top movies. His sell out tour was a worldwide one. Packing houses everywhere. I'm a huge fan of stand up, so I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about.I'm still not sure. Perhaps he had the right friends. Certainly, he has a dumb audience. They probably can tell you the winners of American Idol and love watching Snookie and Paris Hilton. During the act, I turned to my wife. She was sleeping. She didn't laugh once. I was hungry and as she was sleeping, I had to cook for myself. I can't cook to save my life so I went hungry.After another hour of waiting to laugh..the show ended. Little Kev cried at how famous he was. It was a touching moment. So touching, that I took out a rusty nail and smashed it into my face. It was either that or a trip to the clock tower.Do yourself a favour. If you want to laugh at a 'new' comic...watch some Louis CK.However, if you're really stupid and love being 'cool'...Kev's your man.

nford8605 This performance was so bad that I felt the need to create an IMDb account just so I can warn anyone who is thinking of buying this. I really do not understand what all the hype is with Kevin Hart. All he does is ramble and scream about nonsense. His delivery is wildly erratic and his material is just not good. Not to mention his ego is the size of Madison square garden and that is evident through the entire performance. I might have cracked a few smiles but that is it, not one laugh throughout the entire performance. If there was a option to give a star lower then a 1 I'd do it, seriously. Where in the hell is Dave Chapelle at when we need him?? Now that's a true comedic genius.

diac228 Kevin Hart's Let Me Explain is an interesting conundrum.On one hand you have another great hour of comedy from one of the better stand-up comics in the business today.But on the other hand we have a muddled production with choppy editing, sloppy directing, and poor sound mixing that prevents this comedic movie from aging with the greats like Raw, Live on the Sunset Strip, and Himself.What also hurts Let Me Explain is the short running time, the extremely egotistical preshow, and the failed skit in the beginning of the entire thing. If Hart can simply manage to stretch his material a little longer and delete all the extra fluff then he would be a little closer of reaching the comedic Rushmore of Pryor, 80s Murphy, Rock, and my main man George Carlin. He still has a ways to go though.If you are a Kevin Hart fan, then you will not be disappointed. He once again spits out quick funny anecdotes, throws in a couple great catchphrases, and is never afraid of making fun of himself. He once again dedicates plenty of time to talking about women and relationship clichés; and these moments provide the biggest laughs because he takes the moments we can all relate to and stretch them into exaggeratory measures to successful jokes. He also has this likability factor that allows for him to control the crowd and never lose them, not for a single second.And then we have all the technical issues. First off for a Madison Square Garden the audience was quite quiet. Was it the jokes not hitting? No, it's that the sound editing focused pretty much 95% on Hart, leaving the movie sounding quieter than it should. Part of a good comedic concert is listening to the audience react to the stories and collectively understand the verbal motions of one individual. Remember the epic battles Richard Pryor had against his audience on Sunset Strip? With this production staff we never would have truly enjoyed it.As a matter of fact, it was tough to enjoy anything in the first fifteen minutes. The opening skit was uneven, just like the last one in Laugh at my Pain. And then it was followed by a sequence that should have been kept for the closing credits. The movie needed 20 minutes to truly get going. Jerry Seinfeld once said that usually comedians have only one minute to catch the audience otherwise he/she fails. The only reason why Kevin Hart was allowed 20 is because his material over the years has been consistently funny, and we all secretly knew that no matter how lame the material with his buddies are, it would all be forgiven once he steps up on the mic...even if the first act drags miserably.But Kevin seriously, drop your friends. They may have supported you, but that doesn't mean squat if it hinders your movies.

Lwills093 First let me correct one reviewer here that said half of the movie was spent showing clips of his shows around the world. Not True. I intentionally timed it because I read his review before I saw the movie. It was 7 minutes of a skit that made me laugh. Then it was approximately 6 minutes of showing clips of Kevin's shows from around the world. The rest of the movie was stand up comedy. Although I laughed really hard only on certain parts, the whole movie was entertaining to me and that was my goal: to be entertained. Kevin's brand of comedy can be silly at times, and there is nothing wrong with that, if it makes you laugh, and it did. I can't understand why half the viewers here (Since July 6, 2013) had unfavorable things to say about the movie. As I observed, the audience and the fans around the world are happy with what Mr. Hart does in his act.
