Viewing Notes

After years of buildup, it was highly disappointing. It’s funny at times, but overall Murphy plays bits far too long and there’s not much hilarity. It was also quite offensive to men in general, both gay and straight alike and there was a lot of “white people are like this, but black people are like this.”
