Kevin Hart: Reality Check

Kevin Hart will never be funny again. It's time to mourn and move on. His fall from funny is like a plane nose diving into the ground. This special was the final nail in his coffin. It's a disjointed mess of random topics that are bland and boring: plastic surgery, Will Smith, Covid. This material is old and rusty. Will Smith should slap the funny back into him. No amount of Kevin's energy can save these outdated topics. Kevin is like an old dog that can't learn new tricks. The grave has been dug, the nails are in place, it's time to lower Kevin into the ground. The funny Kevin is dead. Rest in peace.

I don't know how Kevin does it....because he skips politics and the LGBT...and still brings the laughs. He talks about his dad dying 10 days prior and says not to be sad....it's a celebration of his dad's life. He told funny stories about his dad...and it's easy to see that Kevin got much of his humor from his dad. He takes shots at celebrities and their cosmetic surgeries. The jokes about crazy horse were so funny....almost looked like Kevin's head rotated 360. I didn't expect to laugh this much. Kevin has such high energy and he keeps the laughs coming. Yes there are the usual foul words but many big laughs!

I enjoyed this and I like Kevin hart a lot. It seems people like to hate on him and other people doing well but people like him who create opportunities for himself and others are something to be admired. I find him very entertaining and he never seems to be scared to branch off and try new things which is truly the mark of a boss. He's always moving forward and he's not afraid to fall which is the true mark of a star. If you haven't seen it yet I suggest checking it out for yourself. Like I said I enjoyed it and maybe I'm bias because yes I DO JUST GENERALLY LIKE HIM AND RESPECT WHAT IT IS HE DOES.

He plays it too safe and that's why his stand up specials lack in every category. It's like he is afraid to offend people and holds himself back. That's not the way to a good show.

Watching this i was seriously wondering what the audience was laughing about. It's like they heard the best jokes in the world. While in reality we got some boring anecdotes and that's all. Probably the wonders of editing. Even Chris Rock did it better in his latest although that was also kind of weak.

Watching a short black guy yapping around...I don't find this funny at all. He lacks edge and there are no punches which makes his "comedy" a snooze-fest.

Kevin Hart has always had a way of turning everyday struggles into hilarious storytelling, and Reality Check is no different. From the moment he steps on stage, he's in his element - fast-paced, animated, and completely dialed into his audience. The material feels fresh, blending personal anecdotes with universal truths about parenting, aging, relationships, and the absurdity of life. What really works here is how relatable it all feels. Hart isn't just telling jokes; he's venting, reflecting, and making us laugh at the things we all go through.

One of the best things about Reality Check is its pacing. It doesn't overstay its welcome, clocking in at just the right runtime to keep the energy high without dragging. There's a solid mix of physical comedy, quick wit, and those signature exaggerated reactions that only Hart can pull off. Whether he's talking about his kids outsmarting him or the struggles of being a "grown-ass man" in his 40s, the delivery is spot-on.

That said, there's a lot of swearing. Now, I get it-it's part of his style, and most of the time, it enhances the punchlines. But there are moments where it feels excessive, like it's there just to fill gaps rather than add to the humor. If you're not a fan of constant profanity, it might wear on you a bit.

Still, Reality Check does exactly what a good stand-up special should do: it entertains. Hart proves once again why he's one of the biggest comedians in the game. It's funny, it's engaging, and most importantly, it's real.
