I agree saw it a few nights ago and had a lot of fun.
I was also surprised by how it touched me emotionally and was pretty inspiring as someone with a passion for creativity.

I really enjoyed this film. It was only passingly funny, but it was surprisingly heartfelt, mature and gentle for a film with a "motherfucker" every few minutes. Wesley Snipes wasn't in it a whole lot, but he gave a great performance, and Eddie Murphy managed to straddle a really fine line between comedy and pathos.
I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say it was amazing, or one of my favourites of last year, but I can say it was genuinely surprising - in a good way.

It's pretty good, plus I really enjoy films about making films.
Also, Wesley Snipes steals every scene he's in.

I liked it a lot better than I was expecting. Has a bit of an Ed Wood vibe, which is one of my favorite movies.
My only complaint is that they included scenes from "The Human Tornado" as being scenes from "Dolemite", inherently fucking up any chance of a sequel.
At the same time I'm glad they found a way to incorporate "Bitch, are you for REAAAAL?" in the film as it's easily the best delivery Rudy ever gave.

spelling rules in English is kinda like "should we try? Nah, fuck it"
Hahaha yeah. Though if I remember, I'm definitely pronouncing Yosemite like Dolemite from now on hah :)
Good fun movie for sure 👍
I had tears in my eyes at the end. When they were riding to the premiere while reading the bad reviews, only to pull up to a huge crowd of black ppl who don't give a fuck about what critics who don't represent them have to say about a movie made by/for them. Powerful stuff. Also Rudy's choice to stay out and entertain the crowd. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I and the friends I watched it with thought it was great. Way more impactful to me since it was about a real person. I am sure they dramatized some stuff hollywood style but still, the big picture felt real.
As a fan of RRM (used to watch the films and listen to his comedy albums when I was younger), I absolutely loved this. The first "WAYYYYY DOWN IN THE JUNGLE DEEP..." and I was hooked. Great stuff.
