Are you a Kevin Hart fan? Then drop everything and rush to see this movie. Are you not a Kevin Hart fan? Then move along, there’s nothing here to see…
If you dig Hart’s stuff, you’ll probably love the movie. So go.

Not short on laughs.
I cannot fathom the ignorence of some people. Usually, they are atheists and don't understand that Jesus uses Kenneth Copeland as a direct line to God's mouth.
I hate atheists. God will smack them down in his mercy and his love. He will hurl them into a fiery pit of tar and then he will stand on the edge drinking a very refreshing ice cold beverage and laughing just laughing.
Kenneth is not a con man.
Tired of the millions of allegations. Stop it and look into your own filthy heart and repent for your sins. I did and now I can do whatever I want after I finish my shift as a professional cage dancer in Key Wets.
Love KH!

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.
What Now? is at its best when it focuses on his comic presence. Even if his jokes don’t all land, his train of thought is all you need for an entertaining performance that is funny, angry and sometimes just weird.
At times throughout this concert film, Kevin Hart’s brash honesty about himself can feel liberating.
A victory lap of a comedy film taken by a star whose talent continues to propel his career, but doesn’t seem particularly hungry.
I won’t presume to understand what passes for popular taste. But seeing an audience in the tens of thousands lose their mind for Hart’s jokes about hating his family and the hypothetical perils of dating a woman with only one shoulder, I can’t help but feel skeptical.
Kevin Hart is back with another live concert movie. It's essentially everything you would expect. The comedian is still showing off his rare ability to be arrogant, self-depreciating, and brutally honest about himself all in the same hour and a half and make it all seem natural. The film kicks off with a nice, scripted James Bond parody that has some nice recognizable faces along for the ride. It's an amusing way to kick things off even if it is just a way for Hart to pat himself on the back for all that he's accomplished.
The rest of the movie is pure stand-up in-front of over 50,000 people in the sold out football stadium, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. So yeah, all that bragging probably isn't unjustified. It's here where the movie really takes off. Hart is just great at stand-up. His stories connect with the audience, be they fabricated or not. He also always has that nice payoff to them. Needless to say, there are quite a few laughs to be found. Yet, perhaps not as much as some of Hart's other stand-up tours. This is due to the fact that early on Hart tries way too hard to compensate for the amount of people he is performing to. By that I mean he tries a little too hard to everyone pumped up and laughing by going overboard with his more cartoonish stand-up qualities. You can expect a lot of over-the-top screaming, ridiculous faces, and loud noises from the comedian. Now these are things Hart is known for doing. Here though you can tell they are a little too forced for the sake of really exciting such a huge audience. This only affects about the first half or so. As the show goes on Hart gets a little more comfortable, tones down the theatrics (almost the whole show is backed up by overly intrusive special effects taking place on three huge screens behind Hart that usually feel unnecessary), brings out his best stories and jokes, and delivers them in the way that made this well-loved comedian so well-loved in the first place. That's when the laughs really start coming.
So aside from some early indulgences and overly try-hard attempts to entertain, "What Now?" is another winner for the stand-up comedian. Not all of the jokes are among his best material, but when all is said and done the man is still very funny. So for Kevin Hart fans this is a no-brainer. However, if you've never really enjoyed his material this won't change your mind. Of course, as Hart proves here it doesn't really need to. He's doing perfectly fine without you.

Agent 0054 in mission Philadelphia!
I have not seen Kevin's previous stand-up concerts, so I was not expecting it to be good or bad. It was a mix of cinematic, particularly in the opening and the end part, but the majority of the midsection is all about his stage performance. He posed like a secret agent named agent 0054, working in an important mission. So in the meantime, he takes the stage in Philadelphia and made gathered his fans laugh.
Some jokes were good, but some were not. Overall, a nice show. It was for Kevin, otherwise, would have been a below average show. The film posters are parodies of 'The Dark Knight', 'World War Z' and 'Skyfall'. The opening credit too was a spoof of James Bond films. Nice effort to enchant the whole show. The Halle Berry's guest appearance was okay. I think worth watching it one time. Only for Kevin.
6/10

Fun enough, although nothing you can't watch on YouTube for free. There are several laugh out loud moments, but they're between some pretty big swing-and-misses.

Despite numerous amount of laughs done here and there, Kevin Hart's latest film won't pull you to enjoy this film's main purpose of existence. It may feel original, delightful, and even can cause humor, but to top it off completely, it's not going to make to one of the big list of important movies to watch for 2016 and can easily become forgettable after a while.

if you think that Kevin Hart is funny, you are probably some kind of demon from some far too deep level of hell. You can say that I have a bias going into this review, because it is definitely true. I hate Kevin Hart. He is at the front of the line of the vast amount of new and popular comedians that I despise. This film is a vehicle for his comedy, go see it to laugh at him and how insanely bad his comedy is, leave frustrated because of how much money and influence he has.
