Eddie Murphy, Keegan-Michael Key and Wesley Snipes in Dolemite Is My Name
The Big Picture In the mid-2000s, Eddie Murphy needed a comeback, and he sort of got it. After nearly over a decade of only doing misfires like Holy Man or voicing cartoon animals for franchises like Mulan or Shrek, his shtick had become stagnant, and he needed something to remind people that he hadn't lost his talent. Dreamgirls helped Murphy get into Hollywood's good graces, leading to some of the best reviews of his career.
Release Date October 4, 2019 Director Craig Brewer Cast Eddie Murphy , keegan-michael key , Mike Epps , Craig Robinson , Da'Vine Joy Randolph , Tituss Burgess , Wesley Snipes Runtime 118 minutes What is 'Dolemite Is My Name' About? Rudy Ray Moore is a hustler in L.A. with dreams of making it in the entertainment world.
The appeal of Murphy, back when he was a newly christened star on Saturday Night Live and making movies like 48 Hrs., was in the versatility and conviction with which he spewed jokes, daring audiences to turn away from his foul language and deny how hard they were already laughing.
The vigor with which Murphy thrusts himself into Moore's enthusiasm for self-advocacy plays into his strengths of persuasion, emphasizing how easily likable he is. Murphy has always been blessed with a twinkle in his eye and a thousand-watt smile that evokes a 6-year-old's school picture, and his performance shows a better understanding of when to implement those.
