There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Blistering performances.

Kevin Hart claims that his success has engendered false perceptions about his life. He wants to set the record straight by putting out a performance at Madison Square Garden. He starts by traveling the world with his "Let Me Explain" comedic tour.That's the setup. It has the effect of play acting. It's an excuse to make a bunch of observational jokes mostly about his various women. The audience is mostly black and they are exuberant in their laughing. One thing Kevin Hart does is that he makes the effort. He is all energy and sweat. He puts his everything into his performance. There are some laughs but I find the reaction shots overwhelm the jokes. I'm not saying the jokes are bad. They are functional but not outrageously funny. One should avoid the cleaned up version since Kevin is swearing up a storm. Part of the fun is the swearing.

I was very disappointed in Kevin Hart's most recent stand-up special. The first 20 minutes were not even comedy, they were just a poorly written parody of him at a party trying to "explain" himself to his friends. Then the next 30 minutes were just boring, especially for Kevin Hart's standards. By that time, you're checking the clock every five minutes anxious for the special to end. Finally, after that snooze fest, some great, classic Hart-humor kicks in. I'd say the last 30 minutes of the special were outstanding and make the special worth watching. That being said, the first 50 minutes hurt the experience and dragged down the rating. The laugh-to-bore ratio should be better than 3-to-5.

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.

Kevin Hart's new film, Let Me Explain was disappointing or shall I say, 'Seriously Not as Funny' as his previous shows. Half of the film showed his fans from around the world giving him praise and a not so funny skit with his friends, while the other half of the film was dedicated to his comedy routine. So out of 75 minutes of film time, 35 minutes was spent on jokes that were mediocre and overacted. He spent too much time on jokes that weren't funny, he went overboard with his exaggerated facial and body expression, and he lingered too long on jokes with weak punch lines. He is normally great when he is self- deprecating, but this time around it was more about his success, which isn't a bad thing, it just isn't funny or what fans would be accustom to. My advice, save your money and wait for this one on DVD or Netflix.
