Probably conventional in terms of biopic, but I don't know. I just love a movie that is all about having fun.

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.

Hugely enjoyable and likeable. Though the first twenty-something minutes of his stand-up material makes you wonder how he become so popular in that field of work, you don't wonder the same when seeing the bonkers approach to bonkers movie-making -- it was a clever idea to amalgamate all the most ridiculous moments of all his '70s films into this behind-the-scenes of one film, just so we could include the behind-the-scenes of the most jaw-dropping sex scene.

After my own little journey into the life and works of the man, the myth, the legend, "Dolemite" himself, Mr. Rudy Ray Moore, this movie was a wonderfully fun little watch. Although, as others have said, the movie kind of lacks any tangible conflict that isn't immediately dismissed or overcome, which kind of seems to weaken the film's overall arc a bit. However, Eddie Murphy and company make all the characters so likable that you just can't help but get swept up for the motherfuckin' ride.

`rudy ray moore`’dan haberdar olmamı sağlayan film.gerçekten çok yönlü özel bir karaktere sahip bir alt kültür figürüymüş.hayatını anlatan dolemite is my name, gerçekten bu yılın izlemesi en keyifli filmlerinden birisi olmuş. uzun zamandır pek sesi çıkmayan `eddie murphy` çok güzel bir oyunculuk performansı çıkarıyor.filmin görüntü yönetimi ve müzikleri dönemin atmosferini yansıtmakta oldukça başarılı olmuş.

Ed Mahogany. Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore is so likable that the film suffers from a lack meaningful conflict. The weird intrigue of Tommy Wiseau's background or Ed Wood's inner conflicts are pretty much replaced with barreling forwards. The initial battles to rise as a comedian and then comedy album star make the entire film segment feel redundant since he's been overcoming odds from the get go. Still fun to watch and great performances all around. I'd rather watch this arc than Edgar Allen Poe's.

Doesn't quite reach the atmosphere required for being great, but it's rather well written and Murphy shines in the lead.

This is what I wanted out of The Disaster Artist, it digs into the character more. This is less of a farce and more a celebration of comedians, musicians, thespians, writers, and uh, martial artists coming together to produce a cultural touchstone for Black America. Although for being a feel-good movie, it prefaces Rudy's success with a moral wrinkle that he essentially lifted his act from beggars and never *really* had to answer for that.

Super fun biopic in the vein of Ed Wood (yes I know it's the same writers). I laughed a lot and loved to see Murphy and Snipes in their purest forms. You do not need to have seen Dolemite to enjoy it but it will probably make you want to watch it after.

Eddie Murphy's still got it, as proven several times during the course of this funky biopic. On most fronts, "Dolemite Is My Name" delivers the goods, from the production value to the soundtrack - excluding Wesley Snipes' caricature of a performance and the fact that the movie seems a bit too lightweight for its own good, without the pathos and character depth that would make it compelling.

A hell of a cast spearheaded by one of Murphy’s best performances. Halfway through the film, there’s a moment when Moore has a reaction to a weathered picture while rehearsing lines for the next day. This is, unfortunately, the one semblance of character growth we’re treated to. The film is fun, but also devoid of much interesting conflict.

A funny fun biopic. The stakes never feel too high, cause most conflict gets solved instantly, but its just fun to see Eddie Murphy perfectly casted and back in his prime. The supporting casting is equally hilarious, especially Wesley Snipes, a huge surprise to me.
