    Not Very Good

    This stand up special is not very good. I think it probably is just as simple as Kevin Hart having done too much stuff too quickly and too recently.

    I have liked his stuff in the past including his stand up comedy appearances and also his early movie roles. But his more recent stuff including starring movie roles in lesser quality movies and especially his stand up comedy are just not up to the same quality I'm used to seeing from him.

    I hope he takes some time off to write and develop some stronger stuff instead of just churning stuff out this quickly in the future, to bring the quality up.

    Make your own assumptions before believing negative reviews

    A lot of times I read reviews off of IMDb and almost miss out on good movies because of the bad reviews I've read. That's why I say make your own assumptions. Personally, I laughed hard on Kevin Hart's "What Now" movie. I watched it with my wife and two of my buddies. If you have one of those nights of hanging out, having a couple drinks and want to laugh...then put on this movie. Yeah, he did it different and the first few minutes it's like a movie but even that part was pretty funny.

    His stories about being scared, his kids, his dad and so on had me in tears a couple of times.

    People today are real uptight and sensitive babies. If you go into this just wanting to laugh then you'll enjoy yourself.

    That's all I'll say about that.

    Kevin Hart's What Now? is funny but not his funniest set.

    Though What Now? was a better looking comedy movie than his last one Let Me Explain, which makes perfect sense, the comedy routine was not the sharpest Kevin Hart as done.

    Speaking of bigger, Kevin Hart's short sketch at the beginning of the concert was just that. Hart parodies James Bond more specifically Casino Royal and does this with special guess the lovely bond girl Halle Berry and Don Cheadele who was hilarious. Hart is pumping his superstar muscle here.

    The concert itself was a far bigger stage. The cool part was how some of the images behind him reflected the comedy routine. Far much going on than the pyrotechnics he gave us in Let Me Explain.

    But the fire he laid on us was real funny and far more inter graded into the comedy bit. Kevin Hart's gonna make you laugh, that definitely goes without saying. So if you go watch What Now? you got that, but like a Rock Star trying to keep of the momentum (of that money flow), Hart's jokes are a little too safe and generic to hit the gut like he use to.

    Bigger better, badder, but not funnier.

    Really funny, didn't need the scripted bits

    Kevin Hart: What Now is a really funny comedy special that's padded to feature length by some unwanted scripted sketches which bookend it. Halle Berry is always a welcome presence who exudes grace effortlessly and Don Cheadle is having fun but these scenes are undoubtedly filler. However, there's still a few good jokes in these bits thanks to a scene parodying The Equalizer and a neat gag involving subtitles.

    The special itself is actually more than funny enough to sustain its run time. The material can get surprisingly personal when he talks about his greatest shame surrounding his sex life and the best moments come from the stories that sound unreal. He returns to some of his biggest punchlines a bit too much in this one but those bits work more often than they don't and the backdrops changing to match his jokes works with them.
