 King Chris February 24, 2004

Forget the editorial review above. There is no weak spot in this hour long presentation. Chris Rock is the most brilliant contemporary comedian I know of and he's at the top of his game in Bigger and Blacker. Let's get real...this is 2004....post Richard Pryor, post Eddie Murphy, Dice Clay etc....four letter words shouldn't be offensive to anyone at this point so it is not a valid argument to say that this wasn't enjoyable because Rock curses too much. Like any great, he can get the laughs without the swearing but this is his special and he comes out with both barrels blazing. The cursing isn't for cursing's sake....this is intelligent, razor-sharp, ADULT comedy. Put the kids to bed and kick back. Like any great satirist, Chris' jokes reflect a probable truth. In regards to his bits on family, love and relationships, I have LIVED his jokes. It's frightening in a funny way and I'm sure I'm not the only one who experienced that sensation of Rock peering into their lives and dragging out all of the dirty laundry. Any aspiring comic writers and stand up comedians need to study this; it's a gem. Rock did his homework studying Woody Allen and Richard Pryor and it shows. The torch has been passed.

This movie is FUNNY!!!!! It is Chris Rock raw and politically uncorrect. He gives us his take on Columbine and crazy white boys under 21, the Clinton-Lewinski scandal, relationships, gays in the military and pharmaceuticals. My favorite sketch is by far "Aint No Money in the Cure". The theme is that the government does not sponsor cures to diseases like AIDS or Cancer because "the money's in the medicine". He says that they'll only "fix it so that you can LIVE with it."
I find myself watching this over and over!!! I've seen Never Scared but this one is soo much better. In Never Scared, some of the jokes go a little far even for me and I'm a big fan of Chris'. In Bigger Blacker, Chris is saying things that we all say (just maybe not out loud). The comedy is more approachable and less offensive (except perhaps the segment on midgets).
Watch this and you'll find out why Chris loves fat, black women, whether men or women tell the biggest lies, why Hillary contributed to the Clinton-Lewinski scandal, why we should not blame music and movies for kids gone wild, and the truth about the government and pharmaceuticals.
Bigger Blacker is 65 minutes of fabulous fun!

Sit back, grab a tofu salad and hold on as Chris Rock rocks. This guy has a humor that is not touched by any comedian today. he touches the human experience with the sharpest of wits and dices all our silliness into silliness. I watch this one over and over.
this is SOOO funny i took notes.... December 31, 2002

so i could go over these jokes again, on my own and laugh again!! Chris Rock spares NO ONE from his shocking and hilarious analysis, and I mean NO ONE!! He is soooo brutally honest about race, sex, and whatever else he talks about that no matter what your political beliefs you can watch this with ANYONE and by the end both of you will be in tears on the floor! He is a true genius and a brilliant social critic. Unlike most comics who rely on silly yucks to get laughs, he is intelligent, well read and politically astute. He has brought another level to comedy that NO ONE in this generation of comedians (Black, White or Other) can even touch!

compared to bring the pain this is dull.the material just doesn't hit as hard as Bring the pain.it has some okay lines but overall it's just so-so.he was far funnier on the Mtv Video awards show.
