Straight Up BAD

"This special is just bad. I was very surprised because I like Foxx and looked forward to seeing Straight. But time after time he went for the cheap joke. That is fine if it is funny but this just wasn't. The standup material was dated and not even a little bit intelligent. Lowbrow, predictable and full of cliche`s. Sorry-but don't waste your money. I agree with the reviewer who said it took him 45 min. to laugh. I don't even think I laughed then. (How many times can you do the "Wanda" face?)"
Singing Saved Him

"It took me 43 minutes to laugh once--damn shame because I really like Jamie Foxx, but I see why it took me so long to like him. This was not funny at all. The only thing that saved him was the dynamic singing performance at the end...the rest was wack!"
