Yayyyy for Dolemite, and that motherfuckin’ signifying monkey too !

I love Blaxploitation movies and had many on VHS tapes. I can't watch them now because I don't have a working VCR and it's hard to find them on DVD.
And a historical note, Ric Flair stole one of his most famous catch phrases from Rudy Ray Moore:

I loved the original movies. My Dad took me to see them back when I was a teenager. Eddie Murphy was the best thing about 'Dreamgirls'. I can't wait to see this.

Those old Dolemite comedy records were some funny shit, man. Some guy had them in my dorm. Mid ‘70s.

A two-minute trailer about a comedy with characters played by a bunch of comedians and I didn’t laugh once. Not even a light chuckle. Where’s the funny?

Maybe if you watch the trailer again but this time without your head up your ass, you might get it.

Terrific movie, the revelation is Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Lady Reed. She was amazing from her first scene sitting in a bar all the the way thru. Now that lady deserves and Oscar nomination.

Was it mean or did Wesley Snipes play D'Urville Martin really gay?

The movie is okay, but not very funny and hardly awards caliber.

There is plenty of humor but I wouldn't categorize it as a comedy, but the Golden Globes will.

I didn't know the backstory, Dolemite was a real persona from the Blaxploitation days.

I just watched this on Netflix and here are my thoughts:
1) I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know the movie was about a real guy. I thought it was just some piece of fiction until the end credits and they showed scenes from the actual Dolemite movie.
2) It felt like Ed Wood with black people to me. Then I saw that the same guys who wrote Ed Wood wrote this movie.
3) I think I laughed in maybe two parts of the movie.
4) Eddie Murphy was fine in it, but I didn't think it was an Oscar-worthy performance. I thought he was much better in Dreamgirls and 48 Hours.
5) Eddie once had a hot body. Holy cow, not anymore. I realize he's almost 60, but yeesh!

Also, Wesley Snipe's acting was atrocious. So over the top. It was as if he was playing gay, but the guy he was playing wasn't at all like that in real life. Just a strange performance overall.
