Kevin Hart’s newest standup film Let Me Explain is an okay standup book ended by not so funny video footage. I think Hart is one of the funniest people alive right now and was excited to check this out but after sitting for about twenty minutes watching a skit that wasn’t funny and ran for too long followed by just watching him thank crowds all over the world I was dying to laugh. Literally. I have a condition.
Hart discusses his life since being divorced and what led to it happening. It is sort of funny but went on for way too long. The funniest part involves a bum flicking your lip. I cracked up at that and hoped it would keep going like that. It didn’t. Next thing you know the damned thing is done and here are some more footage of him and his friends not being all that funny.
There is really no reason to rush out and see this. Hart has been pushing this way too hard and it sucks that it doesn’t live up to all the hype and excitement that comes across in the trailer. One thing I noticed as how silent the crowd was. Not sure if it was because they weren’t laughing or because of bad sound editing. I imagine that if you are in Madison Square Garden with 30,000 people and it is quiet then something ain’t right.
