Eddie Murphy’s back — front-and-center and full force — in ‘Dolemite Is My Name.’ Read Peter Travers' review
On his best day, Rudy never had the comic chops that effortlessly pours out of Murphy. Still, there’s no disputing the joy thestar takes in getting into character as this can-do symbol of black ambition. The script makes it clear that Dolemite did not spring fully formed from Rudy’s head. He hears a homeless man, played by Ron Cephas Jones , telling stories in rhyme on the streets and begins recording his ramblings.
Rudy’s major shot at the big time comes when he decides to turn Dolemite into a movie. After sitting through Billy Wilder’s lazy 1974 remake ofRudy and his pals — Da’Vine Joy Randolph makes every minute count as a plus-sized, ex-backup singer Rudy crushes on — decide they can’t do any worse. Plus they can add nudity, kung-fu fighting and their own brand of raucous humor and aim it at underserved black audiences. The Dolemite movie shoot is complete chaos and a laugh riot to watch.
