Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in my life, Steve Harvey, DL, Cedric and Bernice Mac will make you laugh from start to finish, from jokes about space shuttles, sports, Titanic and Bernie Macs story about a violent daycare center will make you cry from laughter.
Steve Harvey: Funny as hell and is a great host
Dl Hughley: Very funny and a good opening to the show
Cedric the entertainer: Amazingly funny with a lot of entertainment, singing and dancing
Bernie Mac: One of the greatets performances EVER by a stand up comedian, incredibly funny and by far the best comedian they had on the show, his story about his sisters kids never gets old.

Description of The Original Kings of Comedy

Rating: R

Media Type: DVD
The Original Kings of Comedy achieves the seemingly impossible task of capturing the rollicking and sly comedy routines of stand-up and sitcom vets Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bernie Mac and the magic of experiencing a live concert show. Director Spike Lee and his crew plant a multitude of cameras in a packed stadium and onstage (as well as backstage, as they follow the comedians) to catch the vivid immediacy of the show, which is as much about the audience as it is about the jokes. And the jokes are funny.
All four riff fast and furiously (and with much swearing) on the world in terms of race, family, sex, and in one routine, outer space. Hughley takes comedic aim at extreme sports and eating disorders, while Cedric harks back to the day when gang fights meant calling opponents out onto the dance floor. Bernie Mac, the self-confessed id comedian of the group, presents a routine that is simultaneously offensive and hilarious--an apt reminder that comedy can and should be vicious if we are ever to learn to laugh at ourselves and hopefully be the better for it. Harvey, who acts as the MC for the show, has some transcendent moments with the crowd (a '70s slow jam sing-along, anyone?) that have to be seen to be believed. There's no doubt as to why Kings was a hit with concert and movie audiences; the laughs keep coming, in the tradition of Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, with a sharp eye on the nuances of today's racially affected culture. --Shannon Gee
