Critics Consensus: If you want lots of laughs and don't mind some profanity, The Original Kings of Comedy can deliver.

Footage shot from over their shoulders reveals a sea of faces out of which individuals quickly emerge, as the comedians -- especially emcee Harvey -- enthrall and provoke audience members.
A consistently hilarious assemblage of highlights from the hit concert tour of the same name.
This is comedy with a sense of showmanship, and Lee cuts shrewdly to the rhythm of the jokes.
Seeing the film in a crowded theater is a lot more fun than watching it on TV would be, and the crappy, grainy look does create a sort of you-are-there immediacy.
The Original Kings of Comedy, with its 10 cameras and backstage footage, may be the most innovatively directed stand-up concert film ever made.
The jokes fly so quickly and hard that you may find yourself laughing through many of the punch lines.
Some segments are marred by poor sound quality. Others produce monster laughs.
Easily the funniest movie of the summer.
The film offers more than just yuks, however. As in Lee's best work, the film intelligently discusses race and race relations, though this time through the guise of humor.
It is Bernie Mac who is the true King of Comedy here, following in the footsteps of Pryor and Murphy before him as he crosses from church-raised testifying, to furious black cultural theorizing, to barely controlled comedic genius.
I laughed myself into a headache. I laughed so hard I was hoping they'd get bad for awhile so I could relax a minute, wipe the tears out of my eyes.
Apesar de praticamente se limitar a registrar o show dos quatro comediantes, sem jamais se preocupar com o lado humano destes, o filme se destaca graças ao humor cáustico e sem barreiras de seus protagonistas.
I don't know why Spike Lee directed this but it's hilarious, all up in Charlotte.
Super Reviewer
I've never seen so many fat black chicks laughing at one time in one crowd. Also I only laughed hard at one joke during the entire DVD, and that was Hughley's "two week notice" bit. Steve Martin's rant about today's rap music was pretty spot on though.
Funny funny stuff.
funny but a little too racist
