    NOT SHABBY

    I'm not much of a Kevin hart fan, especially his goofy gimmicks on every movie role that he gets, I enjoyed em on the first jumanji.

    Of all his stand up, I can tell you this was 1st time I watched without getting distracted by my phone, most of the punchlines where predictable but he had a way of delivering them that made you burst out laughing It's one thing I've realised that he is better when doing his own material compared to him in someones production

    Even when he tells his questionable life stories, you still laugh while you think to your self this is a fib, it never happened & I like how he managed to blend in quick when he forgets a line, which im sure many viewers never noticed.

    Hart Hits the Mark

    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.

    Kevin is dope

    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.

    People need to relax. The show was pretty funny.

    I'm not even the biggest Kevin Hart fan. I'm happy for him, I support his projects, but he hasn't really been the funniest comedian in the world. Having said that- this was probably his best show so far. The timing of the jokes, the material was fun. I think people need to relax, and stop taking comedy so seriously lol. The only question that should be asked was, did I laugh. I laughed more consistently through this routine than I have at stuff in the past. I'm not gonna critique whether he was 'safe' or not. I don't have a checklist to determine if he covered all of the mandatory subject matter we expect. It was just a funny comedy special, and it was actually refreshing not to hear the same old tired material that everybody talks about. Religion, homosexuality, politics, and race. Dude talks about ugly people and Lebron's fake hair. I was happy not to have to listen to another comedian wade into cringy commentary on society. Just tell some jokes, brighten my day, and make me laugh for an hour or so. Mission accomplished. Thanks Kevin.

    The death of Kevin Hart

    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.
