Got style with the voice and counter voices blend in nicely with stories but a bunch of hot air in the end.
Movie Reviews
Funny, but Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1 is better

"The start of the movie was a bit slow and only had few funny moments. Once Katt and his friends go off to tour our around the country is when the real fun begins. Katt's stand up was very funny, but those who have seen Pimp Chronicles pt. 1, will agree that Pt. 1 is the better of the two. If you are a Katt Williams fan I do suggest buying it because of its worth of laughs"

"When you watch American Hustle, get ready for an experience like now other. American Hustle is a meshing of a cinematic intro with the side-splitting comedy of Katt Williams and company. The feature starts with Katt getting ready for a important Hollywood meeting to discuss movie possibilities starring the up-and-coming superstar. He ultimately passes on the ridiculous movie pitches and ventures out back on the road with fellow comics Red, Luenell, and Melanie Camacho. The four comics and Katt's dog hit the road for 20-city, 40-show tour that eventually culminates to the final show in Chicago. And it is at this point that viewers are treated to the feature-length concert footage of Katt Williams. The DVD closes with Katt Williams sharing the stage and the mic with Chi-Town's own Da Brat and everybody's favorite honorary pimp Snoop Dogg.
Packaged as a theatrical comedy, American Hustle evolves mostly around Katt's stand-up, a routine that can basically be deemed Pimp Chronicles 2. The material is original and will have you laughing out loud. Although we are treated to a handful of stand-up scenes from Red, Luenell, and Melanie, it would have been nice to actually see more of their routine, if not their entire sets. But the material that we are treated to is nothing short of hilarious, with Luenell giving the funniest anecdotes of the three. And of course Katt's spin on life, love, and relationships is on par with everything else that the budding star has showcased, including its predecessor The Pimp Chronicles Part 1. With extended footage of the skit 'Brokebeak Penguins', and his spoof on the movie 300, and about a dozen outtakes, this DVD is unique in its presentation and captures the ingenious comedic styling of Katt Williams. Any fan of Katt Williams will not be disappointed with American Hustle.

"I thought it was very funny and entertaining. All of the comedians had me weak, so it was worth the money. Waay better than the Katt Williams Live DVD, that one was a disappointment. But this has all new material. Buy it. You'll laugh, i promise."
Katt is back at it

"I saw the sneak preview for this back in July when they were tryin to get some feedback before they put it out in theatres as "Pimp Chronicles 2". We told them then that they should cut out the road trip all together and just focus on the stand-up, but I see that they didn't listen to our advice. I think the interruptions of the road trip take away from how funny Katt truly is in this.
In my opinion Katt stepped his comedy up from Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1 to this, although that might be hard to believe.
I give it 5 stars for the comedy, but the story and slow intro to the main event takes away from it slightly (although I loved Jeremy Pivens part), so thats why i have to give it only 4 stars.
But anyone that love Pimp Chronicles, will definately love this one also. Katt is at his best. I Couldn't stop laughing, even after I got home. So Cop it!!!!"
Very pleased
