I hate it when comedians try and take their stand-up act and make it into a movie. That's excactly what was attempted here. I love Chris Rock alright. I think he is one of the funniest people out there. I watch his HBO show every chance I get. But man, every time someone tries to bring stand-up to the big screen, it doesn't work. The racial comedy, which in his stand-up act is hilarious, doesn't work here. The staory was just horrible, the jokes were actually pretty lame too. If he would have tried making a movie with a couple jokes thrown in, then ok, it might have worked. Rock though, tried making the whole film based on his comedy routine. Dozens of other comedians have tried this in the past and it hasn't worked and it will never work.
