After watching Dolemite I was eager to watch this. The movie works great at making the actual movie even more entertaining in retrospect. Eddie Murphy was perfect in the role.

Having seem almost no movie in which Murphy has starred during the past twenty years, this viewer can believe that this variation on the "let's find a barn and put on a show" theme is in some way a "comeback", but the script is nevertheless quite lacklustre and clunky, the formula exceedingly familiar, the characterisation weak, and the laughs meagre at best. There is almost a sense that the film is designed to shame the viewer into feeling that they have no choice but to say they like it.

The first act is great, learning a bit about Moore, where he got his inspiration from and seeing him develop his stand up act. Then his career really starts to take off, and the drama stops: The obstacles he encounters are nothing more than minor hiccups, and everything runs so smoothly to the conclusion you start to lose interest. There's not even enough laughs provided by the Ed Wood-esque movie production. Murphy's in his element in this type of role, but it's pretty missable stuff.

Since Moore's early "rapping" relies so heavily on the shock comedy of profanities to be funny, the first 20 minutes of this feels like it's going to be a painful slog. He was very much the Andrew Dice Clay of his day. But when he gets the idea to make a movie things start getting very entertaining & very funny (esp if you've seen how bad the movie is). It's very much a story about someone who DID pull himself up by his bootstraps & whose success was more the result of persistence than talent.

As biopics may go, it might not be spectacular, but it is very good and a lot of fun. Eddie knows how to turn it on, and Wesley Snipes's cameo role is just so delightful. The story is fascinating also and it's always interesting to see the behind the scenes filming of a movie within a movie.

Enjoyable evocation of the blaxploitation era is, like Alexander & Karaszewski's previous efforts, a showcase for some terrific performers, even if Murphy's overtly self-referential lead feels more like an impersonation than a performance; unfortunately this problem extends to the production as a whole, with the sets, costumes and specifics feeling somehow artificial. Still tops as entertainment, but compared to, say, ED WOOD, never really convinces of its time and place.
