One of the best.

See below...but also, the opening scene when Veronica was on the phone with her mother was astonishing.

Laughed at the beginning; cried at the end.

As good as watching the stage play; Bobby Canavale was to die for.

it was ok

it was funny and on point and quick but otherwise nothing outstanding. I know it's ironic but there didn't need to be that much swearing

Superb voice acting from Bobby Cannavale!

Listening to this play felt like watching a movie. I have liked Bobby Cannavale in everything I have ever seen him appear in, but his passionate performance in The Motherf--ker with the Hat cemented him as a top tier actor in my mind.

The story of Jackie, a deeply flawed ex-con who seems to subconsciously sabotage every good thing in his life, was interesting throughout. Tons of drama, humor, and some thought provoking morality questions made this Audible play extremely enjoyable.

Chris Rock's performance was also stellar.

Pursuit of American Dream

Very well performed and short, gripping story! Seems crude but the crudeness is underlined by a story of pursuit of the American Dream.

Excellent!

This is as good as it gets. Excellent performances, comically clever, lightening-speed dialogue, and a heartfelt message in the final analysis.
