A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Blistering performances.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Despite other user comments here, I cannot deny that JAMIE FOXX: I MIGHT NEED SECURITY was one of the funniest stand-up specials I have ever seen on HBO. I was rolling on the floor for the majority of this film and have found that after dozens of viewings, it still makes me laugh out loud. The stories he related regarding Al Pacino and LL Cool J on the set of ANY GIVEN Sunday were hysterical as well as his dissing of Jennifer Lopez and Mike Tyson. And I couldn't help but crack up when he explained that Whitney Houston wasn't a crackhead, just "crack-ish." Not to mention referring to Bobby Brown as the "King of Rocks and Blunts". His African Adventure and his story about Prince were also fall-on-the-floor funny. I don't care what other posters say, if you like stand-up comedy that doesn't pull any punches, this is one of the best.

If I were him, I'd have just gotten off the stage and run for cover after changing names. It's total crap. The audience was lovely and they were doing their best to continue laughing despite the poor jokes. Wonder who taught him to repeat the same thing again and again after it'd failed the first time. Did he think that the audience couldn't catch what he was saying? He should learn from the true greats like George Carlin or even Chris Rock. His fake accents were lousy too. Really tiring to watch and even more tiring to just listen to. Sure sounded like a talk show at times because the laughter was so sparse. Everyone was quiet and I guess the only reason they laughed was because it was someone famous on stage. This is one show you shouldn't waste your time on unless you're really really really into Jamie Foxx.

I have read some negative comments about this film but must emphasize that I was rolling on the ground while watching it. I've never laughed so hard at stand-up comedy. From his jokes about LL Cool J to Whitney, to Mike Tyson (Where your exit, playa?), the club hit, to ecstasy, and of course the bit about Africa (giraffes, lions, and more). His impressions are amazing, the best is Shaq, but he also does Puffy, J.Lo (Hey, ho), Al Pacino, and Michael Jackson. Afterwards, he dazzles the audience with his musical talent. He has a beautiful voice. Such a multi-talented guy! I recommend it. Two thumbs up. I can't wait until he comes out with another one. Jamie Foxx, you da man!

sh***t.... this last comment was almost as bad as the first. White people usually don't get this type of humor??? are you kidding, that's just as close minded as thinking Jamie Foxx is nothing but a racist homophobe. To return to the case at point, I consider his stand-up routine pure genius. Jamie Foxx shows himself as a true entertainer, I would even go as far as to call him an Artist...with a capital A. Underneath his funny-man exterior is an individual who is passionatley aware of his surroundings and able, much like a poet, to convey meaning with the simplest gesture. From start to finish this video left me in hysterics, from his dead on point impersonation of Shaq, his puffy and J Lo routine (take that take that take that), his unflinching candor when it comes to LL Cool J (he's a hardcore rapper but he's glossy...F*CK that!) to the riotous prince sketch. I could go on and on, truth is that this is Jamie Foxx at the top of his game. The more you watch it, the more meaning and humor you will find in it. Much like the satrical newspaper "the onion", when you take the content of Jamie's performance to the end of the line, you realize that it is grounded in the deepest understanding of the subject material. Being able to find and express the comedy within life itself is just as important, if not more important, than the artist who is able to find beauty and express it through art.
