Max's cheesesteaks on Broad & Erie? Maybe have to tr again, because they were not one of the gears when Philly was my hood, man. I lived there less than five years, but I bee feeling some pride. Represent! Lucky he did the Philadelphia part before his final show here in Los Angeles. Getting an extra star for the short visiting Philly video. Not for any quality- this was twenty minutes of Hart telling us why he is the best thing around and shamelessly walking around with his posse trying to prove this to anyone who will listen- because I miss calling that place home!
One can sense Kevin has some charisma and can see why he is so popular, but he was crossing into yelling and real nuisance territory here! His kids material is getting old and using his "my dad was on drugs" anecdotes began to feel real cheap real fast.
And "Alright, Alright, Alright!" I hated it when Matthew McConaughey did it, I'm only despising it even more when unnecessarily loud Kevin Hart is doing it. It only gets worse as the show drags on. That is most unfortunately only one of many things he seems to repeat over and over and has nothing in his arsenal except decibels and exaggerated, wild body movements in order to keep his show going.
When the audience thinks it's finally over, he has "sunk" back under the stage à la Super Mario- much too cool for him- only to tell us he is the best again and behooves us to watch some short film regarding a robbery, some paltry attempt at a Reservoir Dogs parody. There was no laughing, hardly a chuckle.
This from mediocre to worse to appalling special finally ends with some Larry King clips, specially filmed for this special? Who cares, because the two guests, Kevin Hart and his father, have the opposite of a tough love but endearing relationship. It's honestly abhorrent to heart then talk about each other and continue that tense resentment in their body mannerisms. Nothing nice or redeeming to hear or see between them.
