Eddie Murphy is his name, and Eddie Murphy has upped his game. If you wanna see something cool and groovy, switch over to Netflix for this superior movie. And it's not only Murphy's comeback that deserves the hypes, because this film also rejuvenates Wesley Snipes!

Highly recommended!

An excellent ensemble film. A brilliant turn from a rejuvenated Eddie Murphy. (An extension of his Dreamgirls role in many ways)

This film is full of heart, warmth, humour and is clearly made with love.

A must see.

It's not perfect but it is one of the more satisfyingly enjoyable films I have seen in years.

I'd question how effective Wesley Snipes is in the role he plays. It doesn't quite hit the mark. Otherwise, it's very effective across the board - and I'd be looking at Eddie Murphy to win some awards for this. Anywhere where Joaquin Phoenix doesn't get the nod for Joker, it should go to Eddie Murphy.


8/10

@porteruk I got a dream girls feel from the beginning of this movie as well, I definitely think he did a great job in Mr. Church though.

Quite possibly the most flat out entertaining film of the year so far, only next to _Booksmart_.

So, I didn't really find the humour too funny in this film, I mean motherfuckers fucking shit up isn't that funny. But I guess for the time it was set it had the shock humour. But I did enjoy the film, and actually found it quite sweet in the end.

This was amazing, I don't think I have ever seen Eddie Murphy (Rudy Ray Moore) give such an amazing performance and for sure it deserved an Oscar nomination but to be honest the whole film deserved more Oscar attention as it is just a really great film as it tells the story of a man who just wanted to be more in life and at the end of the day find a way to entertain his community and other communities like his around the US. I'd be amiss if I don't bring up both Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Lady Reed) and Wesley Snipes (D'Urville Martin) who both were so fantastic and memorable in their roles.

I encourage you to please watch this inspiring movie and strap in for a pretty good time as this film finds ways to make you laugh, cry and just be fully invested throughout the story.
