Wife rented "I think I love my wife" last night  -- Chris Rock playing the leading role.
 
Not only is he a terrible actor....I dont think I laughed once during the entire movie (which is a comedy).  His white folks jokes are getting incredibly old.....I think he was confusing this role with a standup routine from 15 years ago.  Weak joke after weak joke.

although i do think that in some of the skits on snl he was pretty funny, as a solo performer chris rock is no eddie murphy.  in his heyday murphy was hilarious, both as a standup and an actor.  chris rock is just plain annoying. he's just another black standup who thinks that by cursing alot, and making fun of white folks he can gain an audience. his star will eventually fizzle out.

Yeah, it's typical of him to do the white folks jokes because he doesn't have any material. All the black comedians use the white jokes- Why is that? Not to open a big can of worms but if a white comedian refers to blacks in his jokes, it's racism. BTW, Chris Rock is one obnoxious douchebag.

Another annoying thing about the movie was the premise of some super hot chick hot for Chris Rock's cock the entire movie.
 
Note to Chris: You are an ugly dude.    Next time you co-write a movie and give yourself the role of leading man...give yourself an ugly wife and ugly girlfriend and it might make it a little more believable for everyone.

How self-absorbed is that? It figures if he co-wrote the movie. I'll make sure not to rent this movie.  He also has that annoying voice.

Not sure how much Chris Rock stand up you've watched or listened to but he makes fun of other blacks more than any other black comedian I've heard. 

Chris Rock is not an actor.  He is a GREAT stand up though.  His old show, The Chris Rock Show was as good as Chappelle's.  His stand up show, Bigger and Blacker, was hilarious.

Glad someone brought this up as another racial blast is spouted based on ignorance. Rock has always joked long and hard about african americans but again Whites hear what they want to hear.

A joke is a joke and if its in that context then its funny. Forget about the race involved, thats what stand up comics do.  As far as "I think I love my wife" that wasnt one of his best movies but he has been in others that were hillarious.  Take one movie (no doubt his worse) and say he cant act.

Yeah you got alot of hate man

Rock in small doses only.
 
He was great as "Pookie the crack-head" in New Jack City.

He should stick with stand up comedy then.  
 
Nobody should pay a cent of their hard earned money to watch this guy try to act.
