Dolemite is My Name-Eddie Murphy Dyn O Mite Disaster

"Dolemite is My Name" starring Eddie Murphy in a biopic of an irrepressible comic who wants to come up big in the world.  Based on the life of Rudy Ray Moore (b Amer. 1927-08) a comic, actor and low budget filmmaker who found a niche audience in the black community.  "Dolemite is My Name" is as flippant and forgettable as Jimmie Walker from the 70s sitcom "Good Times."  Good times were not had by all who viewed this straight to Netflix film that would've been a resounding flop at the box office.  The film was nominated for this year's Golden Globe for Best Picture and Eddie Murphy received a nomination for Best Actor.  Murphy was playing his stock comedy schtick which was a perfect fit for this feckless flick.  Murphy's performance was mostly one note and not noteworthy of accolades.  The film should hold appeal for a similar niche audience for which the original "Dolemite" films gained notoriety.  There was little variety amongst the 7 films of Moore's genre which can be politically incorrect labeled black action/hillbilly hick & titties.  Rudy's ditty is now being touted as the father of rap.  I think that's a bunch of crap; just like the movie.  There were performances worth mentioning; Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Lady Red was phenomenal and the bankable, unheralded Craig Robinson - coo coo ca Choo.  Keegan-Michael Key was a lost cause in the film and Snoop Dog was spot on as DJ Roj.  "Dolemite is My Name" did not have game.
