Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,200
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, reenacting scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly his destiny - until one day his father disappeared. As a young man on a classic cross-country motorcycle trip, he found himself stranded at a rest area in the Blue Ridge Mountains. To pass the time, he read a tattered copy of Hedda Gabler, and in a flash he found himself face-to-face with his original calling.

Emotional Rollercoaster
I have listened to this dramatization many times. I have even invited my friends to listen to it with me because I enjoy it so much. It is a rollercoaster of emotions, which set you off having to listen to some load mouth crass women, central character, spouting off to her man and changing her tone to suit his answers. This sets the scene. It transcends to emotions from aggressive, explosive, loud mouth obscenities to threats, fearful anxieties and every emotion you can think of and - you are laughing at it! The actors are amazing at pulling off this story, so good in fact you can see them acting it out before your very eyes. You can feel every expression, visualise every guesture. Amazing talent, good story, with great twist in the tale. Fun to listen to. Well worth your money. Enjoy

Hilarious and Unf**gettable
Where does The Motherf--ker with the Hat rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Motherf--ker with the Hat?
See below...but also, the opening scene when Veronica was on the phone with her mother was astonishing.
Which scene was your favorite?
All of them. It was especially riveting when the true identity of the Motherf***er With the Hat was revealed.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laughed at the beginning; cried at the end.
Any additional comments?
As good as watching the stage play; Bobby Canavale was to die for.

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.

Great Listen
Would you listen to The Motherf--ker with the Hat again? Why?
Yes. Great writing and the Actors were awesome.
What other book might you compare The Motherf--ker with the Hat to and why?
It is a play so I cannot really compare.

Funniest play ever!!
i had the pleasure to watch it at Rutgers University, performed by students. The actors performed extremely accurate to the attitude of the play. It was amazing, had some many funny parts apart from the real issues each character experienced. Amazing!
