A Masterpiece!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I have read some negative comments about this film but must emphasize that I was rolling on the ground while watching it. I've never laughed so hard at stand-up comedy. From his jokes about LL Cool J to Whitney, to Mike Tyson (Where your exit, playa?), the club hit, to ecstasy, and of course the bit about Africa (giraffes, lions, and more). His impressions are amazing, the best is Shaq, but he also does Puffy, J.Lo (Hey, ho), Al Pacino, and Michael Jackson. Afterwards, he dazzles the audience with his musical talent. He has a beautiful voice. Such a multi-talented guy! I recommend it. Two thumbs up. I can't wait until he comes out with another one. Jamie Foxx, you da man!

I think Jamie Foxx is hilarious and this special really brought out his talent...that last person who commented on it was way too serious about it. It's called comedy for a reason, you uptight jackass. enough said.

First things first, this stand up act only applies to certain people, white people don't tend to get these kind of jokes/ humor. I'm not a big Jamie Foxx fan, but I found his stand up far more pleasing than his acting. The opening was a riot with the whole Whitney Houston, J-HO/ P.Diddy, and Michael Jackson bit. but I have to admit it did die down a little when he started to talk about Africa (it's like who cares about africa). But then he picked things up and closed it off well. One of the best parts was in the extra scenes (DVD) where he invited people to come up and sing with him. This wasn't the best stand up I've ever seen, but it was pretty good.

Jamie Foxx has forever presented himself as an unfunny comedian from his token turn in The Truth about Cats and Dogs to his now defunct sitcom, but with this HBO special, he has sunken to new lows. Starting off with terribly premature Taliban joke, (he constantly refers to the Taliban as Tenenbaum and other unneccesary things,)Foxx stands up to an audience that must have been regretting ever buying a ticket. This was the tip of the ice burg. Continuing with the stupid unnecessary jokes, Foxx goes on to explain his encounters with Jennifer Lopez's behind, his escapades at the Playboy Mansion, and a terrible bit about going to Africa, where he became aroused by a giraffe. His act is also quite homophobic, explaining that one only becomes gay after looking into Prince's eyes, cause he's so pretty. It would have been funnier to me if he had got up there and said, "I hate the Taliban, gays, and i love Jennifer Lopez's booty.", it would have made more sense.
