The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is my first time writing a review anywhere. But this compelled me to start. It's really sad how this amazing show went so thoroughly unnoticed. To be able to deliver such sad stuff with the kinda finesse that makes people smile instead of frown is an art in itself. It was funny..and real at the same time. A must watch for everyone.

Amazing special. Beyond just comedy, this guy takes it to another level. Everyone in America would benefit from watching this. He has a lot of laugh out loud parts and then some deeper moments. All in all its am excellent special and he leaves it all out on the stage. The time flies by and you will be wanting to see his next one.

Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King is an hour and fourteen minutes well worth spending. One second you're laughing so hard — the kind of laugh that's from your gut — and the next he hits you with stuff that will make your chest and/or eyes hurt. Certain truths are laid out and laid bare, a lot of which I suspect not everyone would be comfortable with but that's exactly the point. He shares a good portion of his life in such hilarious and engaging ways. You might find yourself trying to look for someone on facebook right after. My only criticisms are *spoilers* I don't quite buy that a certain person is completely OK (I need some sort of history), interracial marriage does not fix racism just like that, and can Hasan say that word?
