Eddie Murphy Raw [HD]

The guy from New Mexico doesn't know what he's talking about
Not only does this guy not know anything about comedy, but obviously has no sense at all, since he agrees with Leonard Maltin. While I'll say that I liked "Delirious" more than "Raw," they are both utter classics. I can watch them a near infinate amount of times, or just listen to his 3 comedy cd's. New Mexico man says that all Raw is, is Eddie using the F-word a lot. Well, New Mexico, have you seen any comedy inthe last 30 years? all the comedians use the F-word too much. But the difference with "Raw" is that it is used in context, and it doesn't dampen the effect of the rest of the comedy. New Mexico man should consider going back and reviewing "Raw" and maybe trying to look around on Amazon auctions for a sense of humor

"IIIIIIIIIII....WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!"
This is ONE of the funniest stand-up acts you will ever see!! There's only one better than this, and that's Delirious! This man is a comic genius, and also one of the best impersonators I have ever seen before! His Richard Pryor impersonation is DEAD ON and one of the funniest parts! It's about time they released it on DVD and I can't wait to enjoy it again and again. If you're on the fence, trust me, this is well worth your time and effort and money! And if you find this funny, go and get Delirious!! "Hey Boy.....Hey Boy...you look mighty cute in them jeans....now come on ova here....and..!" FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS!

Filmed at the height of Eddie's status as the world's biggest film star (while on contract with Paramount), "Raw" is an hour and a half of hysterical impersonations and skits.

Written by comedy star/director Keenan Ivory Wayans ("Scary Movie"; "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka"; television's "In Living Color") and directed by Robert Townsend ("Meteor Man"; "Hollywood Shuffle"), Raw's highlights include Eddie's trip to San Francisco (where he is greeted at the aiport by flamboyant gay men), his trouble with women, and celebrity put downs.

The most memorable skit in this film probably has to be Eddie's imaginary wedding to an African tribal woman who gets corrupted by American women upon her arrival to the U.S. "Unfoofoo" (his African wife's name) and Eddie's...
