Being Eddie

I think this a good look at the life and career of Eddie Murphy. I loved Eddie Murphy on SNL and I loved some of his movies. Others were horrible. He takes a lot of chances and not all work out but he was a trend setter. I loved the interviews with Chappelle, and the SNL crew etc. Eddie is an odd interview and has a somewhat overblown view of some things. I think there is the world of Eddie Murphy and the world according to Eddie Murphy and they re not exactly the same thing. That doesn't;t diminish his accomplishments or talent. Worth watching.

I agree with Pete Davidson in this Eddie Murphy documentary when he says that the voice of the donkey in Shrek may be the greatest comedy performance or indeed any performance in any animated movie in history. Eddie reveals it was very draining to do because of the loud emotions & yelling, so I'd like Eddie to know that his many fans appreciate how he is ALWAYS giving the proverbial 110% on the big screen. If you're one of those fans, make sure to watch this.

Just watched this and it's bloody amazing! Loved his movies since a young age, but didn't really know too much about his stand up comedy. But obviously that's where it all started for him.

You see a very different side to Eddie. A film and comic genius, but actually a very down to earth guy who would rather chill at home than do all the Hollywood party's. Which is quite amazing when you see the people who he was surrounded by. No drugs and drink and actually very squeaky clean which is probably why he's where he is today.

A great insight into his life and a must watch for fans of his.

Maybe would have liked to see a bit more of his family side and why certain things happened, but still a great documentary.

All too often do we bio-documentaries rely on controversy or tragedy and Being Eddie is a refreshing reminder of documentary on post-peak stardom. A reminder of what a talent Murphy is, the power of change his breakthrough ushered in and the re-illumination of a star whose light is not yet burnt out.

This is an overview of Eddie Murphy's life and career with a combination of current and historic interviews and clips from his various works. Eddie is one of the great entertainers/artists of our time and that is pretty obvious when you see the people who see him as an inspiration or even a unicorn. Well done. Recommended.
