Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

cinephile-27690 Okay, yes, it's rated R but 230 F words is unneeded.About 40 of them are from a routine about Eddie's abusive father. How is child abuse funny? I have only seen about 10 or so minutes of this movie but I don't won't to finish it. I do give it a one because of the opening scene and the rabbit/bear joke at the end but that's it. This is the same guy who made Coming To America the next year, that's my favorite Murphy movie. Mulan, Shrek 1-4, Daddy Day Care, Norbit, and a few other movies are way better than this. I don't always hate profanity-laced movie-I think The Departed earned the Oscar, but one guy saying it in a 75ish minute time period 200+ times is uncalled for. Skip this and Harlem Nights and pick a different movie of his.

SnoopyStyle This opens with a young Eddie Murphy shocking his family during the Thanksgiving gather in 68. It's his standup in Madison Square Garden. He's afraid of Mr. T but not so much Michael Jackson after making fun of them in Delirious. He imitates Bill Crosby chastising him and praises his hero Richard Pryor. It's a night of foul-mouthed nasty stories with references to various pop culture personalities. He and his purple outfit has the audience in the palm of his hands. This is Eddie Murphy at his highest point. He is irreverent and fearless. He comes off as a homophobic misogynist and it doesn't matter. He takes on anything and anyone. He's full of power and energy. Robert Townsend captures it all.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I'm not kidding, my stomach is sore from all the laughing. After a brief sketch that serves as a lead-in and to some extent, a setup, this is 77 minutes of pure and gradually increasing hilarity(and there is actually insight to a ton of what he says). This and Hot Fuzz(which had the greater effect on me, but you really can't compare these) are the only two things where I've ever felt like I might croak, that my (23-year old and trim as of writing this, mind you) body might be overwhelmed from my enjoying the crap out of what I was seeing and hearing. I love Murphy when he is allowed to do what he does best, and not asked to do it in an irritating manner. The man has a machine-gun for a mouth(in the sense that it can fire off absolutely lethal verbal projectiles at such a speed that counting them soon becomes an exercise in pointless behaviour) and he can behave arrogantly as well as self-deprecating(if the scales aren't necessarily equal). His impersonations are excellent, and Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor(R.I.P.), Michael Jackson(R.I.P.), Africans, Jamaicans, Italians, etc. must have been embarrassed, if they don't have(or had in those 2 cases) a sense of humor about themselves. This is a performance by Eddie, and like other stand-uppers, he ties it together and repeats certain punchlines. The whole thing keeps to an astounding pace(with very few exceptions), and flies by. This is filmed and edited with skill, evident especially in the fact that you don't notice it; it doesn't draw attention to itself, and off the man. There are stereotypes in this, and it is in general quite controversial. The main focus is on relationships, women and sex, though he does talk about gay people, us whites and our inability to dance, and there is a brief bit of bodily function jokes. There is a constant stream of strong language in this. I recommend this to any fan of the comic the way I would a hot meal to someone hungry. 8/10

mrblanklikesblank I would never have registered an account but i felt i had to say something about RAW it is funny but deleriorious owns it anyday murphy mainly talks about his childhood in delirious in Raw he talk more about marriage and divorce sorry eddy no where near delirious!!!!!!!
