VHS Movie Reviews of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Eddie Murphy [VHS]
Movie Review: Legendary TV Star!
Summary: 5 Stars
These clips are from a time when SNL was the biggest thing to ever happen to television. And then it died. Then it came back hipper and edgier than ever thanks to Eddie Murphy. So much of culture has changed since then, but if you know your cultural history, this disc will amaze you.
Eddie is still the most lucrative movie star ever and the biggest star to emerge from SNL. He combined acerbic wit, razor-sharp performance and creativity (he helped write all of his sketches, unlike many SNL legends). He is also the only black SNL member to dominate the show in popularity and appear in non-demeaning, safe-for-white America roles. Only after Eddie, did mediocre talents swarm to SNL in hopes of superstardom. So you really are catching the show at its most raw, vital and inspired here. And funniest.
The most legendary moment in the 70s SNL was seeing Belushi, Chase, Murray and Aykroyd in the same sketch. In the 80s, it has to be the on-screen union of Murphy, Martin Short, Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest (with Larry David in the background!).
ANYONE with a comedy collection should grab this.
Summary of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Eddie Murphy [VHS]
Perhaps one of the greatest lights ever to shine on late-night television, Eddie Murphy has gone on to well-deserved international superstardom. Check out his earliest television work on Saturday Night Live: The Best of Eddie Murphy, a collection of his greatest roles, from Gumby to Stevie Wonder to Buckwheat. Of course, some would argue that his best role was as himself, and there is plenty of evidence for that--many of the skits feature Murphy au naturel and the opening sequence is taken from his monologue when he returned to the show triumphantly after leaving for Hollywood. Exploring the world around him and finding laughs everywhere, Murphy can take a simple idea (such as the "James Brown Hot Tub Party") and run wild with it, leaving the audience hysterically begging for more. You don't have to be a fan to enjoy this collection, but odds are you'll be one by the time you're finished. --Rob LightnerAfrican American Cinema VHS Video
