BEING EDDIE is a fabulous, insider’s look at the one and only Eddie Murphy. This documentary will entertain fans with comedic moments from Murphy’s legendary career. It is filled with insightful reflections from the man himself, along with several well-known colleagues, including Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Arsenio Hall, Jamie Fox, Tracee Ellis Ross, John Landis, Pete Davidson, and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
The interviews and clips from Murphy’s astounding past allow audiences to laugh out loud. The schtick and fast-paced jokes are never-ending, but they still allow for a deeper, emotional dive into how Murphy catapulted to fame and what he thinks his legacy is. It is fascinating and impossible not to admire and respect him for what he has accomplished while opening doors for all who followed.
BEING EDDIE is a delightful, educational, and nostalgic romp. It brings back the infamous red leather suit no one would dare wear during such turbulent times. Murphy is so not done yet. His creative, genius mind is still percolating. I can’t wait to see what boundaries he knocks down next.
BEING EDDIE is streaming on Netflix.
