Watch Chris Tucker: Live For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

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

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

He has put himself in good roles through the years with films like the Rush Hour franchise, Fifth Element and more recently with Silver Linings Playbook but I believe that comedian Chris Tucker is really an underused actor. He is a guy who made a name for himself in the late 90's and who appears in Hollywood films every so often. I won't say his comedic style or humor is new because it's not. It has a Eddie Murphy vibe to it and is also like comedic talent Kevin Hart. Now in 2015 and when Chris Tucker feels like "old news", it's more than an odd feeling to see that Netflix has put out a live comedy film from him called Chris Tucker Live.Produced by Tucker himself and directed by Phil Joanou, Chris Tucker gives us a pretty basic comedy show about the topics of life issues including parenting and dating, Michael Jackson and what's it's like having a religious mother in his childhood.I have never been much to sit through a comedy show movie due to a lack of interest level and my attention span is not the best when I am only watching one guy alone. This TV-movie though never drags nor do we want it to end. With a running time of an hour and half, it is perfectly set up to not run long for it's audience. It is a film that makes you want to just have more of Chris Tucker.To fully appreciate this comedy special, it really basically comes down to how much you like Chris Tucker. His jokes are simple but you find yourself laughing out loud. It is not really memorable in any way and really you wonder why this was put on Netflix or a TV-movie as it's labeled. Really though it's hard not to like Chris Tucker. He is a quality guy who seems like he comes from a good family. It's nice to listen to his inspirations and really he comes off a good role model.Chris Tucker Live is basically a comedy special made for someone like me who hasn't seen most Chris Tucker films and now will want to visit them for the first time or for his die-hard fans. It is nothing to watch again but it works perfectly as a Netflix film.

I'm not an American and this stand-up of Chris is SO focused on American culture and American racial-stereotypes, that ONLY Americans would find this stand-up funny, since I couldn't keep up with even 10% of the references that were made in this routine. Constantly talking about black & white stereotypes and making jokes about little-known celebrities like jermaine dupri and many others, simply mean that you won't know what the heck Chris is talking about if you're from anywhere other than America.Simply unfunny (3/10), I didn't laugh once through the entire 1hour31mins. I've got nothing against Chris' acting though, I loved him in 5th Element and Rush Hour. I'll just stay away from all his stand-up from now on, and just watch his movies rather.

Meh. It's basically Chris Tucker doing Eddie Murphy's 80's material for about 90 minutes. Even so far as to do a Michael Jackson Impression that lasted about 10 minutes too long. He has nothing new, insightful or even intelligent to say.Everything has been done before better by somebody else. Is it terrible? Not exactly, I'll admit there we a few genuine belly laughs, but those were far and few. While, I'll agree there was a time when Tucker was shining a rising star that was a long time ago and his brand of comedy shows his age. Comedy, much like humor, changes and transforms and Tucker, while still entertaining; hasn't in my opinion transformed with it

i'm a big Tucker fan, and i really wanted to like this but man, it was bad. There was some funny jokes here and there but overall it was a disaster. and the fact that it was 90 minutes long didn't help either. plus some of his bits were from Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and others. and him dragging every f@cking joke was just really cringe-worthy. i really felt bad for him, even the crowd was bored. i think if this was a 30 minutes special it would've been way better, specially since there will be no time for him to drag and explain every goddamn joke. i was really excited and looking forward for his comeback, but this was disappointing. i only gave it 3 Stars because it's Chris Tucker, if it was someone else i would probably give it 1- 2 Stars. P.S. He confirmed that there will not be another Friday, which at first bummed me out, but after watching the whole special i was glad cause that would've destroyed his legacy. i hate to say it, but i think he lost it. hope i'm wrong tho.
