Details

Comedian Cedric the Entertainer uses his considerable appeal to introduce some up-and-coming young stand-up comedians. Cedric himself takes on topics such as Bill Clinton, the death penalty, reality television, fast-food chicken, church etiquette, and much more. The other comedians are a mixed lot: Roland Powell amusingly mocks insecure boyfriends and sings a singles bar pick-up song and Juan Villareal gets some laughs out of food stamps and The Blair Witch Project, while Tony Luewellyn flounders through weak material about Ex-Lax and the war on terror. Then along comes J.J., who gives a surreal spin to roadkill and giving birth to septuplets.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
chaos-rampant I came to this after seeing this man as part of the Original Kinds of Comedy. Interested to see some more, I picked this one at random. It's okay, nothing particularly interesting. Sometimes it's just a show, only another stop in a tour, nothing more to say. But how about we say something more just for the heck of it? How about we say that sometimes the performer is so inspired, he sets the place on fire? How about sometimes the audience is so fiery and loving it, it seduces fire out of the man? And in other, rare times it's some strange confluence of cosmic gear where the world outside aligns with inside to bring us to a night that acquires significance?If you had to guess, would you expect anything extraordinary from a show staged in a boxing ring in a casino hotel?
