These men are hilarious!

The success of this tour surprised many whom were not familiar with these comedians, mainly because they are superstars on the African-American, not mainstream, comedy circuit. These men are funny as hell! The TV shows they appear or have appeared on do not give them the freedom to turn loose like they do in this film. One of the best sequences was when Harvey complained about rap and urban contemporary music (he was so right!) and gave respect to old school R&B. This is absolutely the best comedy that was released all summer.

BERNIE MAC TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!

The Kings of Comedy is like rush hour traffic....stop..go...stop...go....then all of a sudden...PEDAL TO THE FLOOR when bernie mac came on!!!!! Geared to a black audience...as most Spike Lee "Joints" are, Kings of Comedy had some hilarious jokes in it...and some that were just the same recycled humor you hear on BET every weekend You have to have a sense of humor going into the movie and cannot be easily offended by off-color jokes and especially (KEY POINT HERE)jokes about the caucasian persuasion..it is just entertainment!!! Steve Harvey does a good job MCing the show..while D.L. Hughley is ok in his bits...Cedric the Entertainer was mostly disappointing as he didnt seem to come up with anything new for his act...but Bernie Mac stole the show! See it just for Bernie...he makes it all worthwhile!

bernie mac was of the hook!!!!

Bernie Mac was great, he stole the show. Bernie was funny from the time he started to the time he ended. I thought Cedric was neck the neck with Bernie, but Cedric had a couple of duds, although he was great. I would go see this again just to see Bernie and Cedric.
