It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

jerrod wit, timing and humanity are absent from this performance and his pretentious and relentless charade of worldly defeatism doesn't work. Being gross can be funny but there has to be some context, some originality and some relative experience for the viewer to engage with.I'd have to seriously question the professional judgment of the hbo team that saw this past the ideas stage! I'm assuming that they are all her friends or they divvied up her paycheck!

I truly held hope that this would be at the least, entertaining, yet it came up short from beginning to end. Some of his comedy shows have some funny lines at least. he's not even a decent actress. his humor is funny to grade-school boys perhaps, but you can't fill a movie script with one-liners and expect a box office smash. I would recommend spending your time elsewhere.

I did not laugh once. The whole hour. Yet he is good. I would go as far as compare him to George Carlin. If he is that good before 30, maybe he will go far beyond what Carlin did two decades later. I don't know. I will have to see it. But now, he is good. The tempo is slower, but his public is less used to his kind of thoughts. And Jerrod is good.Probably people misunderstand him simply because of a racist bias. You probably know the statement "these people all look the same." He is not Eddie Murphy. He is not Chris Rock. And he does not even try to be Eddie or Chris.And surely he is hard to grasp because George Carlin and Lenny Bruce were products of the 1970s. And Jerrod is for 2010s. Lenny and George were very hard to get back in the day, only 50 years later, with a few books read about the "golden days of comedy" and living in a far different society, sure, they are so obvious. There is nothing offensive in their shows, only a few rednecks might feel offended.Is Jerrod better? I don't know. I would like to look back 50 years later and I am sure at that point things are going to be far more clear.I did not laugh once. I was shocked people laughed in the audience. But it's comedy, so laugh.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

I enjoyed a few bits with this show, but I think the show could be a lot smoother if Jerrod didn't stop and pause, and then restart with a different sentence, in the middle of his dialogue. For example, he would say "I just think that (pause for three seconds)... I just feel that.. it's hard... it's hard to think that.. you know.. I feel.. like I want to try." IMO - this is either a lack of material memorization or a lack of material that is prepared for an hour long segment. I think and hope that his stand-up will improve by eliminating these half sentence stutters. Other than a few issues with his public speaking, I enjoyed his stand-up.
