An amazing example of a stand-up master doing what he does best and arguably better than anyone working today. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com 07/31/2019
4/5
Rock tackles a number of subjects here, both new and old, but he makes the greatest hay out of the then-upcoming presidential election. This is a bit of a mixed blessing... though most is funny enough that it doesn't matter. Go to Full Review Jane Simon Daily Mirror (UK) 07/31/2019

7/10

3/5
