Is it just me or was Chris Rock just doing his stand-up routine the entire movie?

Did you just watch this on tv tonight? Cuz I did too Haha.

Anyways it was 1998, Chris was at the top of his game, a huge A list celebrity who was loved by everyone, he could do no wrong. Even if all it was was his stand up routine, it was still pretty *beep* funny. And that's why he was brought on board, not really to act, but to make people laugh and add an extra comedic element.

I mean this was the guy who's most serious acting roll was Pookie. No big deal, he was good.

Actually yes, I did just see it tonight.

Oh I wasn't complaining about Chris Rock. His act was hilarious and it did distract me from that awful sax that would randomly below out during every other scene.

Yeah, i know he shouts his whole stand-up act but Donner shoulda coulda toned it down for LW4.

He pretty much was being real life Chris Rock, no stand up, just typical call everything racist Chris Rock.
