Summary: 2 Stars
I really like Eddie Murphy's work. When I saw this DVD at the store for a very low price, I was psyched: a ninety-minute stand-up routine from one of my favorite SNL graduates. What could go wrong? Apparently, quite a bit. Eddie begins with some absolutely fantastic (and I mean "fantastic") impersonations of Mr. T., Bill Cosby, and Richard Pryor. But, then he began to work into his routine, a somewhat bitter rant about women, divorce, and cheating, and I got worried. After watching only thirty minutes of the movie, I was already looking at the watch and waiting to make dinner.
I agree with a few of the other reviewers (though, our numbers seem small) who say that his jokes get repetitive and old after a while. They do. Eddie seems to be beating a dead horse in this routine. If I had gone to the show, I would have felt cheated. Rather than explore a diverse amount of material, Eddie pours himself into one topic and never lets up. The only bright points in his whole routine are his impersonations.
I don't know what to say: I'll have to check out DELIRIOUS and see if he gives us a better show on that one. But for those of you interested in looking for a great stand-up performance, I'd go elsewhere.
Movie Review: A Big Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
Taped it off of cable but wouldn't pay money for it. The problem is that this is where Eddie is now a star and thinks or seems to think that everything that comes out of him is funny. "Delirious" was new and fresh and Eddie came off as suprisngly likeable and cocky and talking about things that are genuinely funny anyway like relatives and family outings, Elvis, etc. whereas this just sounds like Eddie yanking his own chain, trying to convince himself or someone that he's "made it" to the star ranks with Michael Jackson and Mr T and instead of 18 year olds getting their first experience we hear about Hollywood lifestyles and so forth. This is less funny and basically Eddie should follow his own advice and squeeze some jokes in inbetween the cursing.Movie Review: NOT ALL THAT FUNNY
Summary: 2 Stars
THIS CONCERT, WHICH IS EDDIE MURPHY'S 2ND CONCERT FILM, IS VERY DISSAPOINTING. MOST OF THE JOKES GET REDUNDANT AFTER A WHILE AND SOON, IT JUST BECOMES UNFUNNY. THE BEST MOMENTS ARE WHEN EDDIE MAKES FUN OF BILL COSBY AND RICHARD PRYOR, WHEN HE MAKES FUN OF THE ITALIANS, AND WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT HIS FATHER. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS MOVIE COULD'VE AND SHOULD'VE BEEN A WHOLE LOT BETTER. THE LOWEST POINT OF THE FILM IS THE FINALE IN WHICH HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE HAD TO EAT TOYS BECAUSE HIS FAMILY WAS SO POOR. I'M A BIG FAN OF EDDIE MURPHY, BUT, I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK THIS IS ANYWHERE NEAR AS FUNNY AS ''DELIRIOUS'' WAS. IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T CHECKED IT OUT YET, DON'T EXPECT TO LAUGH TOO MUCH WHEN YOU SEE THIS MOVIE.Movie Review: Not Comedy!
Summary: 1 Stars
Richard Pryor is a world class comic. Compared to Pryor's routines, Eddie Murphy's "Raw" is a waste time... it's not funny... just base words thrown together without any meaning. I couldn't wait to throw it in the trash where it belongs. It's a shame because Eddie has done some good comedy and acting in items like "Beverly Hills Cops." Very intertaining. Not so with "Raw," it's junk.
I would have given it a "0" rating, but it wasn't an option on Amazon's rating scale.
