Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's ironically rather short on standup from Mr. Hart himself, but structural problems aside, Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain offers another example of why he's achieved mainstream success on his own terms.

By the end of the show/film, we learn that Hart is in fact living his dream, yet we still all know that he can only go up from here. Go to Full Review

At only 75 minutes long, you question whether the better medium might have been cable TV or VOD and not a theatrical release. Go to Full Review

I could have done without [the] pointless framing device, but there is some funny and highly incorrect material here. Go to Full Review

Hart is a great comic - there is no doubt about that - but Let Me Explain reaches a kind of tipping point. Go to Full Review

The laughs are frequent, with Hart's energy and timing having grown and been honed to more than fill the vast, cavernous space of Madison Square Garden. Go to Full Review

07/10/2021 Some funny jokes. Very Kevin Hart. See more 02/21/2021 Nothing worth seeing here. See more uncle p 07/05/2020 Story/Screenplay: (3/5) There were enough funny lines to keep me engaged, but not enough to make a favorable recommendation. Duration/Tempo: (3/5) At 1 hour and 15 minutes, it's a very, very short movie that felt a little longer. Cast & Crew: (3/5) Kevin Hart is a great talent, but he wasn't at his best here. This was an OK performance, but not good. Summary: (3/5) Wasn't good enough to receive a thumbs up. Instead, a thumbs down. See more 08/21/2018 Not worth the money nor even renting it!!! See more 04/25/2017 Starts off funny. Only gets better! See more 01/14/2017 I love Kevin Hart but aside from a few laugh out loud moments, this wasn't all that funny. See more Read all reviews
