In the follow-up to his 2011 film "Laugh at My Pain," comic and actor Kevin Hart appears in concert during two sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. The film captures the laughter, energy and mayhem of Hart's 2012 international "Let Me Explain" concert tour, which generated more than $32.7 million in ticket sales.

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.

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

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

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

I had a great night out. Unfortunately, I know Kevin Hart can do better.

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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

I love Kevin Hart but aside from a few laugh out loud moments, this wasn't all that funny.
