Kevin Hart: Acting My Age Review 2025 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
“You can’t do no shit like that after 40,” Kevin Hart says about finishing an amateur game of basketball with kids. Ten minutes into his comedy special Kevin Hart: Acting My Age, he compares himself to younger people. He recounts a story about playing basketball with younger people who physically recover quickly – can’t relate. As per the title, this special is him contemplating his age and how it affects his marriage. Other jokes involve envisioning the kind of old he wants as well as a vacation, trekking with the gorillas.
Kevin Hart: Acting My Age, like most comedy specials, aren’t mostly cinematically interesting with some exceptions. Capturing a stop in his tour, the show begins with a four piece classical band because he’s grown. His actual set begins with a joke about his nephew coming out, which is personally interesting to me. I get it, he apologized for his homophobia, I may forgive, but I’m way too bitter to forget about that part. And twenty minutes later, the special has shots of his feet because of jokes about his sprained ankles.
This film, coming to Netflix this Monday, will probably hit the top ten charts on the platform’s algorithm. And in fairness, I understand the appeal, since Hart mixes crassness and vulnerability in his comedy for decades. The story taking the climax – ha – in Kevin Hart: Acting My Age is his dick not working. I mean, everyone in their late thirties – same – make jokes about erectile dysfunction and Hart does something similar. Part of the story is him impersonating his wife – if you’re impersonating your wife, Kevin Hart, go full out.
Hart’s comedy reflects a fan base that has roots in his community but is also constantly evolving. Aging means finding oneself at a crossroads, and he makes jokes about different older people. He doesn’t want to be the kind of old who is oblivious, he wants to be the kind with no filters. He then goes on a tangent about Quincy Jones and the latter’s farewell interviews that are quite revelatory. This is part of the special where he slips because the original Quincy Jones interviews were funnier.
Running at a brisk 66 minutes, Kevin Hart: Acting My Age ends with him joking about going to Rwanda, and this reminds me of another trip he took – one to the comedy festival in Riyadh. I will excuse homophobia but I will not tolerate going to the country with a ruler who killed Flor Contemplacion. This is also the part of the piece where I try to figure out the timeline here. I don’t know if this show in Miami happened after Riyadh but it still leaves a bitter taste.
