Movie Reviews of Saturday Night Live: The Best of Eddie Murphy
Movie Review: The Savior Of "Saturday Night Live"
Summary: 5 Stars
If it wasn't for Eddie Murphy, "Saturday Night Live" would have gone under in the early 1980s'. He managed to shine through even the worst sketches with an excellent sense of timing and stellar acting.
"The Best Of Eddie Murphy" basically collects Eddie's most memorable moments from the show, including three Buckwheat bits, Gumby's "Merry Christmas, Dammit!" (unfortunately this sketch is severely edited), "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" "Pudge And Solomon" (with Joe Piscopo, the only other truly talented regular during the 1980-84 seasons), Velvet Jones and the short film "White Like Me" in which Eddie goes undercover as a white man. To entice hardcore fans who religiously watched the show just for Eddie every week, they've included rare sketches like "Big Damn Plastic Bubble" and "Rock And Roll And Then Some" (with Eddie as a black man claiming to be the fifth Beatle). All of these sketches are lively and hilarious.
To be fair, this dvd does not include all of Eddie's best. There are no "Focus On Film" sketches with Raheem Abdoul Mohammed (a character Eddie played 10 times) or any of his Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby or Mr. T impressions. However, what's here is here and what's here is hilarious.
Summary of Saturday Night Live: The Best of Eddie Murphy
