Summary

Tearing through a wide range of topics with equal parts insight and irreverence, Bernie Mac shares views that may not sit well with everyone specially if you're caught in the crosshairs of his rants. Still, his way of looking at the world will probably make you think and it's all but guaranteed to make you laugh. Taking on superstar athletes, the movie business, his fellow comedians, his marriage, and his friends and family, Mac unleashes side-splitting riffs on sex, religion, hygiene, money, and more.

Nobody is safe; nothing is sacred. Not even Bernie himself. Throughout I Ain't Scared of You, Mac turns his humor inward, firing off self-deprecating salvos about his golf game, his own personal hypocrisies, even his sexual prowess.

Mac's insights have earned him critical acclaim and international popularity. Now, I Ain't Scared of You captures Bernie Mac's humor whole -- unadorned, unpretentious, and unafraid.
