Summary: A great concert film
Review: When I saw this movie last August it had me rolling in the aisles. All three of the comics get their man. But I have to say Bernie Mac was the funniest , in particluar the skit about his sister's kids. If you liked Raw, Delrious or Live At The Sunstrip you'll love this movie.

Summary: Laughter Reigns in The Original Kings
Review: D.L. Hughley, a stand-up comic and the creator-star of TV's The Hughleys, is explaining why bungee jumping has not caught on with most African-Americans. "That's too much like lynching for us," he says, shaking his head and adding, "You're going to tie a rope around me and push me off a bridge?" Hughley's bungee riff is among the better routines in Comedy, a documentary by director Spike Lee that captures a show in Charlotte, N.C., by Hughley, Harvey, Cedric and Mac, comics who have been performing nationwide to enthusiastic, primarily black audiences for the past three years. All four stick to observational humor, much of it revolving around racial differences. A lot of this is funny, and it never gets as wrenchingly deep or dark as Richard Pryor's routines in his classic concert films. Depending on your mood, Lee's documentary or Pryor's antics--it's all good.

Summary: Funniest Movie Ever
Review: This movie was by far the funniest movie I have ever seen. I laughed so hard I was hoarse the next day. Steve Harvey is incredible and so were Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley. I'd never seen Bernie Mac before this movie and I thought I would surely die from laughter. Yes, it's raw, but well worth the money. This is a must see if you want 2 hours of non-stop laughter.

Summary: Royally Funny
Review: Funny does not adequatly describe this movie, but it will have to do. At the peek of their comedic careers, these four droll gentlemen make for two hours of non-stop laughing. If you can get past the incessant profanity, you will be in for a regal treat. A must see for anyone who wants to laugh!

Summary: This movie was incredible!
Review: I loved The Original Kings of Comedy. These are four of the funniest people in the world. There was not a moment during this film that I was not laughing. I ended up laughing myself sick. If you wanna laugh or have a good time, I would recommend seeing this movie!

Summary: lousy "film"
Review: this is not a film, by any stretch of the imagination. it is an extended stand-up comedy routine. the comedy in the film is amusing. but it wasn't significantly better than the comedy shows on late-night t.v.. there was absolutely no reason to bring this to the big screen. and certainly spike lee didn't bring any of his creativity to bear. the non-comedy outtakes comprise a tiny fraction of the film, and are entirely forgettable. this is NOT a film. or a documentary. it is a 1 1/2 hour comedy show. why not see a real movie?

Summary: All Hail the Kings!
Review: This film is truly spectacular. Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric THE Entertainer and Mr. Bernie Mac are outstanding comedians who are not afraid to tell it like it t'is. I have seen this film twice already and am going to see it again and again and again...can't wait for the VHS release date. Although the language and subject matter are explicit...SO WHAT! These men know from what they speak and are able to translate what could be a painful and difficult situation into something that EVERY person on this earth can relate to. My only question is: why did the studio only release it to so few theatres? The film is a hit so let's give these Kings their props!

Summary: Off The Hook!

Summary: The Funniest Movie Of The Summer
Review: Forget Jim Carrey! Forget Marlon Waynes(?)! Go see Cedric the Entertainer! This movie was so much funnier then the other summer comedies. I think that Cedric and D.L. Hughley were hilarious! The part with Bernie Mac, however, was sick. Hearing him say "I will (explicitive) your kid up" is funny the first couple times, but soon wears thin. Hearing him call his sister's kid a "fa--ot" is less appealing. Go to see it for Cedric, he is side splitting!

Summary: Raunchy and hilarious
Review: This film is way over the top and is not for the very young or easily offended. Nonetheless, it's funny stuff. Good comedians are basically social commentators and since these four "Kings" are Black, it stands to reason that they bring their unique perspectives to the stage. Much of the subject matter is not politically correct, but it's what most of us say or have heard said behind closed doors. Plus, it's just comedy and it's doesn't come across as mean-spirited. It's not highbrow, but it's certainly not sinister either. Though I see where some might have a problem with the language, I enjoyed most of the film and laughed throughout each comedian's set. Steve Harvey does a good job of pacing the show with his take-no-prisoners routines. Man, that whole bit about Rae Carruth was priceless. My other favorite part was at the end when each comedian explains which NBA player personifies his comedy style and Cedric compares himself to Latrell Sprewell. This concert film does a pretty good job of conveying each comedian's interaction with audience, which showed how much the audience enjoyed the show. The audience connected with Steve reminiscing about Ole School music, D.L.'s mean Big Mama ( we all had one), wishing like Cedric that someone would cross us, and wanting to whoop the tar out some some bad kid like Bernie Mack (figuratively speaking of course). On the whole, this was a worthwhile flick. I've seen it about 3 times and would see it again in the future.
