If you think Kevin Hart is funny — as I do — you’ll laugh frequently, as I did. If you don’t, you’re not going to this movie in the first place, are you?

The comedian's delivery, high-energy throughout, helps him put over material that is funny but hardly justifies the record-setting receipts of Hart's 2016 tour.

Whether he’s expounding upon his fear of wild animals or recounting how he sweated his way through his first experience trying to order something at Starbucks, Hart is a natural raconteur, alternately arrogant and self-deprecating, worldly and juvenile.

Despite a tacked-on framing device that mostly falls flat, Kevin Hart: What Now? proves to be a laugh riot thanks to the comedian's high-energy delivery and the broad spectrum of relatable topics he integrates into his set.

The movie is a good representation of Mr. Hart’s comedy, but not a perfect one.
