A great performance by some great comics, and I would recommend this to anyone. Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Mac gained popularity as a stand-up comedian. And folks, I like Chris Rock, but he wasn't as funny as these guys are, simply because he tries waaay too hard, and these guys are just here having fun. Each comic owned the stage when they were on it, and they would be hard to top.
The other two comics I have never sen before, but I have no complaints, as they round out the show nicely. Hughley was funny as well, especially when he was interacting with the audience. Steve Harvey did great jokes, and even did things, that while not really funny, were great entertainment, like when he was playing samples of different songs for the audience.

And as far as the comedians in the movie here, they really strive for a good show. And besides, it's not the stereotype that makes the joke, it's the exaggeration behind the joke. Now, a comedian can go without stereotypes, but he/she runs the risk of losing the audience. And besides, some comedians will even take a common stereotype and make it their act.Tim Allen used the stereotype of the man's man Roseanne Barr used the disgruntled housewife, and Jeff Foxworthy used the redneck angle.
My collection spans over both genders, different nationalities and ethnic groups, and I must say that every comedian needs to joke about something that the audience can and will understand, and stereotypes are the key thing to do just that, because everyone understands stereotypes. I have comedians that few people have heard of. How do I say this? Folks, I have collected comedians for years, and my collection spans from CD's, DVD and VHS tapes. Now, the fact that the comics were using stereotypes.hmmm. What these men were doing with comparing black and white is NO DIFFERENT than when Jeff Foxworthy compares and contrasts rednecks and sophisticated people. Did anyone notice that the WHITE people in the audience were laughing just as hard as the black? I think that it's because most of us white folks can take a joke, and understand that the comic is really playing around, without doing a "my god, that's a racist remark" defense that many people here seem to be doing. For those of you who only saw racism in the jokes, then you really weren't paying attention to what was being said, and knowing the attention span of the average American, that's not hard to believe. And The Kings bring back a variety show for us in the movie format, and the result is a masterpiece. I have been exposed to stand-up ever since I was a little kid, and I have seen the evolution of stand go from 90 min concert movies like this one, down to 1 hour specials, and even down to 30 min specials as well. We strive for accuracy and fairness.This was a great stand-up movie, and it's wonderful that stand-up is coming back in this form.
