I had a chance to see it last night. After reading reviews and talking to others who had seen it, I went expecting nothing. I have never really liked Martin's style of comedy (the buffoonery, physical comedy, etc...). But, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I actually found this one funnier than "You So Crazy". I never saw the other one, but this one was pretty funny. Although I didn't CTFU all the way through, I did laugh pretty consistently. While Martin's whole theme is "F 'em" (to the critics, media, naysayers, etc...), I do feel that he went out of his way to appease them and get back in their good graces. The whole show was inundated with all kinds of social commentary. Not saying that Martin can't be socially conscious, but I just felt that he was trying a little too hard to show that he's not the angry, crazy, dangerous black man that they've portrayed him to be. Then again, he is older, hopefully wiser, and maybe he's just grown as a man.
For those of you that have seen it, without giving anything away, what were the funniest parts in your opinion? Mine were the part about MLK, disciplining your children and his whole description of what REALLY happened out there on Ventura.
