comment
A 2014 movie written, directed and staring Chris Rock.Though he began in stand-up comedy, Andre Allen (Chris Rock) hit the big-time as the star of a trilogy of action-comedies about a talking bear. Andre is forced to spend the day with Chelsea (Rosario Dawson) a profile writer for the New York Times, whose film critic has just panned Andre's passion project about the Haitian Revolution.Unexpectedly, Andre opens up to Chelsea, and as they wind their way across New York, Andre tries to get back in touch with his comedic roots.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Andre Allen seems to be a mash up between Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock himself if both of them were former alcoholics.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: A scene in which Chelsea violates a chauvinistic man who'd hit on her by shoving a tampon slathered in hot sauce up his ass is Played for Laughs and presented as his "comeuppance" for his chauvinism.
