He's been one of the biggest box office draws of the past 2 or 3 years. I admit to not being a fan of his, and being annoyed by his constant appearances during sports broadcasts but whoever his agent is seems to be making it work.
Think Like a Man Too: Box office #1, made $68mm on a $24mm budget.
About Last Night: Box office #2, made $49mm on a $13mm budget.
Ride Along: Box office #1 made $125mm on a $25mm budget.
Kevin Hart makes bank.

I'm sure $68m could grab #1 in months like February or March.

It was #1 for a weekend and then dropped like a rock, but it still turned a profit!
Did you create a GAF account so that two years later you could search through obscure community threads to see if anyone was talking about Kevin Hart's career so that you could be there to weigh in with your analysis?
Not a fan.
Yeah that was dumb. Number one he shit on his own joke. "An octopus, really" yeah that is was every human watching your standup should be thinking you retarded Lilliputian. Number two if he can read as he claims maybe he would've known he had accidentally taken an adult sized jacket to the target counter instead of the kids small.
LMAO
I don't know what just happened here but I am hyped
James Franco's brother. Thats all i know about him
Yes... white people tell others what they can enjoy and what is terrible. Oh rulers of the world.
Are you saying Kevin Hart is only for black people? Because i know quite a few people of other races that love him. You just pulled the race card for no reason. His "subject" is comedy and id like to think that can be commented on without it being turned into an issue for no reason like you're trying to do now.
No one said you can't enjoy it.
I doubt Kevin Hart made that commercial for just black people.
That's one ignorant ass comment if I've ever seen one.

yeah and i have a black friend named smokey so i'm cool too
Legit question, are they ever going to release a new album?
No I didn't say he was only for black people don't play dumb.
But it's like me watching some white comedian saying shit I cant relate to and then turning around and saying "well...that guys sucks ass".
Certain comedies or movies come out that are clearly targeted to white people. Do I go and watch it? No because I would most likely find it unappealing or not funny. That doesn't mean its terrible and I wouldn't go around telling people they are terrible for liking what they like.
Eznark literally broke down dudes skit. Why. Nobody is critically thinking about that shit when watching him. Part of the act is the dumb shit that is being talked about...it's not some philosophical deep 1.5 hr act of comedy.
I don't know, I'm not even really a fan. They were playing at a festival I was at and I was hoping to use seeing such a hard-ass ghetto crew to earn myself some extra street cred.

Am i invisible? I was just defending hart in here, smokes! D:
Except I dont think Kevin Hart is aimed at black people any more than any other comic is aimed at his or her specific race. You're the one that felt the need to comment on the color or his skin.
It would be like me telling you your opinions on basketball on invalid because you are 4'11. The subject isnt targeted at you!

fight me
Ol' nate has atleast a foot on smokey.
My comedy is aimed at Whites/Mexicans. You're not allowed to comment on it.
That was a joke for white people you have no right to criticise it.
Oh, this is for sure.

My only problem with Kevin Hart is how inescapable he was for most of this year if you were a sports fan. I don't have any opinion on his movies or stand up. I was intrigued after how many commercials and movies he was in if anyone liked him, and based on the numbers he's pretty successful. He doesn't seem to have any negative reputation aside from being in a lot of stuff, which I mean, I can't really fault him for that. Showbiz is flakey, get yours Kevin Hart.
