matthias s **Review: *Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was* – 3 Stars** I’ve never seen a Jamie Foxx comedy special before, but as someone who admires him as an actor and human being, I was super curious—and *What Had Happened Was* delivered… in parts. It’s wild and honestly heartbreaking to hear him open up about his near-death experience, but Foxx does find the comedy in the chaos. Some of the impressions are *chef’s kiss* (his Denzel always kills), and his resilience post-stroke is straight-up inspiring. You can feel how much getting back on that stage meant to him. That said, not everything lands. A few moments felt overly polished—like he was performing sincerity instead of living it—and that disconnect kept me from fully buying in. Still, it’s got heart, laughs, and that unmistakable Foxx charm. A solid comeback, just not quite legendary. A respectful 3 stars, with room to grow if he keeps digging deeper. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Marc-Charles N Wow! I love, love, love this stand up. I cried different times. I love that stand up. I saw many people complaining about it not so funny. To me that was the best ever, really funny to me and really spiritual. I think people in their 50ies to 90 years will appreciate that one even better. That one did it for me as the best stand up ever. No they did not ask me to give that review, that is my real and honest review. Jamie is extremely funny and talented. I learned a lot from this stand up. The value of humility and how God talks to us at times.

A comedy special with no laughs is usually reserved for Ventriloquists and their demon puppets. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Ben W There were a couple of touching moments and the part with becoming humble with the nurse was nicely done but I'm glad I had this on in the background while washing the dishes. So self-absorbed. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Amy S Self absorbed much? I honestly used to like Jamie Foxx. That was the most narcissistic display of whatever that was that I've ever seen. I'm sure he's happy to be alive, but the only genuine emotion he portrayed was his absolute infatuation with himself. The rest was acting. If anyone fell for his attempts to draw sympathy and pity, then I suppose he's a talented actor. This Netflix special ruined him for me. It sickened me at my core. Just my opinion. Glad he pulled through his health crisis. A little humility goes a long ways though. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Sello M Am I the only one who feels like 'He used the impersonation of the funniest comedians and the people's favorites to make his content funny? For me the highlight through out,is the entrance and the anticipation it created with his heartfelt story.I gave it a chance but couldn't finish it, Overall it's good to have a life preserved.
