Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
videorama-759-859391 Like Richard Pryor, I must admit, it is fun to watch another foul mouthed comic, up on stage. Though not matching the credentials of the late, brilliant insightful comic, Pryor, who I believe was even a better actor, what we have is 86 minutes guaranteed worth of raucous laughs. From infidelity to poverty, where the poor Murphy family were reduced to eating slinky springs, Murphy kicks up a storm of laughs, while remaining coolly confident, which a few budding comedian must envy. Murphy knows how to dress too, his attire more effective than his ruddy sort in Delirious. Too, the start was inventive, with Eddie's childhood, Samuel L Jackson, playing a small but fine role as the Grandfather, egging little Eddie on in the tellings of a dirty joke, seeing star potential. And to split opinions, where personally I didn't like Best Defence, I'd choose Beverly Hills Cop over 48 Hours, any day. I must admit, Murphy isn't afraid to be dramatic about the underlying realities of his jokes. it. His impersonations are fantastic, Bill Cosby, is almost nailed, plus others that impress. Here's a great night in, to save you from going out in the cold to a concert. If you don't mind profanity, that is.
fatollahzadeh_armen550 What you're saying is partially arguable because apart from the filming and body language he did quite well on this one. I wouldn't necessarily say it's better than Delirious because the focus on both episodes are on different things. Delirious was very diverse and he kept talking about singers, actors and what not. In Raw however he's more focused on relationship and sex, while that may come of as redundant at times is not a big deal here.Nevertheless, whether he has grown a little more in Raw is obviously a natural course by nature and shouldn't be counted against his performance. Take it from me you should really be thinking about two things when deciding on which one you should watch first! The first one is what kind of subject you're interested in, actors and singers or sex and relationships? The second deals with your own personality as the vocabulary is more vulgar in Raw.Last thing to note here is that both are extremely offensive at times and sensitive people should really be thinking twice before watching either...
roddick-1 I have grown up to know Eddie Murphy as the funny guy who plays multiple people in one movie, but I also knew that some time ago he was a comedian to which no ground was sacred and who wore some crazy outfits. Luckily I was able to watch one of his classic comedy routines recently, Raw.The greatest part of Eddie's routine was his impersonations. The voice, mannerisms and stuff the people speak about are all done perfectly. Another great thing is that he tells the humorous truth about things like relationships and how people act and think.This movie/performance proves that Eddie Murphy is one of the greatest comedians out there. It is definitely one, for all those mature enough, to see. I will be looking out for more old Eddie Murphy stand up DVDs and I hope he goes back to his old ways.
sachpatel This live stand-up isn't just your normal stand-up comedy where you only laugh at half of the stuff and then walkaway forgetting all thats funny about it. Instead this will make you laugh so much you would a have a aching belly and jaw - I couldn't stop smiling for a second.Eddie Murphy is just brilliant(still second to Richard Prior R.I.P) his creative flare shown in this really show everything that a good stand-up is made of and ain't nobody on this level out today. Chris Rock probably being the closest everybody with "good sensors of humours" needs to get this on DVD its so good forget about Def Comedy Jam and all that other rubbish, Eddie Murphy in his prime kicks ass.The jokes to do with Mcdonald's burgers, relationships, sex and Italians are guaranteed to please.
