Jamie Foxx performs live from the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California.

I thought it was OK. It could have been better but then again he always was better with a script than without. Did anyone notice how a lot of the things he said in his act about Africa was ripped from Richard Pryor's Live On The Sunset Strip? I know Jamie went to Africa to film Ali and everything but some of his Africa routine seemed like a copy of what Richard did originally (about the lions, the stink, etc). The jokes weren't all funny. Some were though. He definitely used his art of imitating celebs and voices to help out this show. Some of the stuff like the celebs he was making fun of was exaggerations but it worked for some of the jokes. It could have used more IMO. I thought he overdid the whole Talibam-Taliwhacker, etc thing though. You could tell his act was not quite as over as other comedians like Rock, Chappelle, etc. Then again that's their forte and they're good at it. This just wasn't Jamie's. I guess he was just trying to do a little too much with his talents. He should stick to acting. That's his thing. Hey, he did win an Oscar and rightfully so.

Storyline

After winning the lottery, two guys, Jackson and Rome (Pras Michel and Michael A. Goorjian), are robbed of their $10 million ticket by Belinda, a notorious criminal. Before the police arrest her, she swallows the ticket and is hauled off to prison. To get their ticket back, they devise a scheme to dress as women and get sent to the same prison as Belinda. While successfully infiltrating the women's prison, their plan is slightly more than they imagined as they are caught between gang feuds, predatory inmates, peculiar correction officers, and a warden.
