TOKOC take one back to the days of Richard Pryor , Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock. Steve Harvery, Cedric The Enetariner, DL Hughley and Berine Mac are all hilarous in these movie. The comedy by these four gentlemen is hialrous and Spike Lee digital camera direction is top notch. I give these film ***** out of *****.

Now, before I saw this movie, I knew that Steve Harvey and D.L. Hughley were stand up comics and had there own shows, Cedric the Entertainer had a guest appearance on Chris Rock's show and Bernie Mac has been in various movies and TV shows. But until yesterday, I never saw there acts. Well, now I have. And there is only one thing I can saw- There are some funny mother****ers in that movie. Now, they might not be as funny as say Richard Pryor or George Carlin, but, there material does reflect some great underlying meaning (even though the average person wouldn't notice). Steve Harvey definately is the funniest one as he does an impression of a black guy escaping from a sinking Titanic, and Bernie Mac is also a big laugh machine by showing what a woman looks like as she's givin' pleasure. Hughley and Cedric also get laughs, and all 4 are conected by 2 things, 1 that most of the humor conveyes the hilarious differences with blacks and whites and 2, they are all directed by Spike Lee. One of the greatest stand-up comedy films ever made. A+

Knowing what Spike Lee's movies have portrayed over the years, I always pictured him as a serious director, never one for comedy. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw "The Original Kings of Comedy". I'd never heard of Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, or Bernie Mac when the movie came out, but they made me crack up. I think that my favorite line in the movie was the rip at "Titanic"; I couldn't have agreed more with him.

So, this may very well be a look at the possible direction of stand-up comedy in the 21st century. I hope that humor continues as "TOKOC" portrays. A very funny documentary.
