All's Fair 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer

Image
This review contains plot details from the first three episodes of “All’s Fair,” which are now available on Hulu. Creators: Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Ryan Murphy Stars: Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash The fact that a legal drama supposedly about female empowerment begins with a pilot episode written and directed by men probably tells you everything you need to know about “All’s Fair.” In fact, of the three episodes currently available on Hulu to commemorate the series premiere, only one features a significant creative credit from a woman, and it’s shared between executive producer Jamie Pachino and co-creator Ryan Murphy, who collaborated on the script for Episode 2.  But this is a review, so I’m obligated to elaborate: “All’s Fair” is a clumsy, condescending take on superficial, triumphalist feminism, undercooked even by the standards of the overworked Murphy, who co-created the series with Joe Baken and Jon Robin Baitz. Admittedly, the tone is intentionally campy, and i...

Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only 2023 Movie Review Trailer

 Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only begins much like the first one-night comedy show in New York. That is to say, a little slow and a little uncomfortable. "This is a story about two separate journeys that follow two different paths but somehow line up and end up at the same intersection at the top." This clumsy comment is from Kevin.

  


The 82-minute show, however, shines when treated as a well-deserved celebration of two great comedians, rather than a behind-the-scenes exploration of their recent stadium tour.

Director: Rashidi Natara Harper
Stars: Cedric The Entertainer, Kevin Hart, D.L. Hughley

The interviews are a lovely way to tell Chris and Kevin's stories. From Chris' brother Tony to Wanda Sykes, Kevin's brother Robert, and Dave Chapelle, there are a lot of great people to hear from. Keith Robinson's appearance is the highlight. He was to Kevin Hart what Eddie Murphy was to Chris Rock: a Jedi, a wise mentor who paved the way for him to a conscious career. Robinson recently performed at The Village Underground. He was very funny that night.


A slow start offers plenty of opportunities to learn something new, laugh at Kevin or Chris, or at least point and smile at the long list of guest appearances. This is, first and foremost, a celebration of comedy. That's hard not to like for fans of the form or those unfamiliar with the main artists.


The middle portions are the most captivating. Director Rashidi Natara Harper draws a line between the rise of Chris Rock and the rise of Kevin Hart. The story paints a picture of the pure monolith that is the New York comedy scene.


The documentary loses some shine as the final show at Madison Square Garden approaches. While it's a flex to have Jay-Z backstage, the goat's encore for G.O.A.T. It's a bit repeated.
