Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to what it was like to watch it for the first time.
shadowman123 I've seen Chris Rock in quite a few movies now. And I have to say that his acting ability is can be questioned . However as a stand-up comic he is very good . I saw Chris Rock : never scared a while back ago and I was impressed with the his material , I mean the fact that these are social problems that he has highlighted and makes everyone fall out of their seats . Whether it be AIDS , High School shooting , wild mothers , Chris Rocks takes the subject on , NO HOLD BARRED . The thing about Bigger and Blacker was that as it was certainly a good show but I could not help feeling the missing edge that we saw on Never Scared so to me this felt one of his weaker performances . However I would still recommend this to fans of Rock and check it out if its on TV , in my opinion he probably is the next best thing to Richord Pryor and besides even this show had its moments that made you laugh.CHRIS ROCK : BIGGER AND BLACKER - 6.8 out of 10 SO FOR NOW THIS IS THE SHADOWMAN WISHING YOU A GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.
Luis_ct Chris Rock will probably be ed in the future as one of the greatest comedians of the 90's. This stand-up is my second all-time favorite after Dave Chapelle's "Killin'me Softly" . Its amazing how both of these comedians have the ability to connect with thousands of people in a personal level. How they can speak and joke about every-day normal situations that most people would be too embarrassed to even mention. This stand-up, is a great example of what I'm saying. Chris Rock makes jokes from subjects such as bullet control, to the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal, to relationships between married couples, that make you laugh until you cry. This is truly a must-see comedy stand-up
MrJingles521 This is the way comedy should be made. If you're sick and tired of Seinfeld's silly comedy about insignificant things in life, or Robin Williams' clown theathrics, then Chris Rock is guaranteed to make you laugh. Chris talks about the late 90s biggest issues... (Racism, Sex, Columbine High School, Clinton, etc). Bigger and Blacker will make your stomach hurt will laughter.
Andy-422 I was not old enough to know or appreciate Lenny Bruce. The comics I grew up with used foul language for the sake of foul language. On the surface, one might make this assessment of Chris Rock. That would be a tragedy. This guy is one of the smartest, most insightful, challenging entertainers to be found today. To watch this video, you have to tolerate the language, but if you can, the content is fantastic. The first 14 minutes are a strangely Dr.-Laura like tirade on parenting, gender relations, and responsibility. But delivered by Chris Rock, it's a whole different experience. Other topics include Clinton's escapades, racial relations in America (with surprising atypical conclusions) and sexual relations between couples. As the video goes on, the content gets raunchier, so if you want great social commentary, but aren't interested in his theories on the three ways women relate to oral sex, then skip the last 15 minutes. All in all, though, I found myself laughing myself silly, and thinking seriously about the subject matter. And I am a white, rural clergyman. Go figure.
