Critic Reviews for Chris Rock: Bigger & Blacker

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (1)

There is something here to offend everyone, but [Chris] Rock's outspokenness is refreshing. This outrageously entertaining program is a welcome antidote to today's absurdities.

It's a great showcase, written entirely by a gifted comic whom you should, by tuning in, allow to Rock your world.

New York Daily News
[Chris] Rock seethes with a refreshing blend of irreverence and anger, setting forth on everything from gender and fidelity to taxes and modern medicine.

Heather Thompson
Guardian
One crucial trait that distinguishes [Chris] Rock from every other comedian of his generation is that his jokes proceed from a thought-out political philosophy containing both radical and conservative elements.

Ken Tucker
Entertainment Weekly
[Chris] Rock stalks the stage more aggressively in this special than in his previous one, and proves both how fearless he is and how much confidence he has in his material.

Allan Johnson
Chicago Tribune
If you like your comedy to be breathtakingly brash and candid, [Chris] Rock remains the gold standard for the new millennium.

Ray Richmond
Variety
[Chris Rock] struts and frets his hour on the stage in black leather, walking back and forth, back and forth, yelling at the audience. This is the comedian as rap performer, not artist.
