I don't like musical films. I don't understand what significance the songs add to the plot and I don't like that the plot is basically put on hold for 2 minutes while people are singing and dancing. What's wrong with silos? Broadway musicals for the song and dance entertainment and movies for their storyline. Is that too difficult?
Eddie Murphy did a great job playing Jimmy Early. His character is my favorite in this movie because his character was surprisingly dynamic and vulnerable. Fame is not easy nor is it always glamorous and his character experiences the full emotional spectrum. In the last 30 minutes, Jimmy shows his depth and you see that he isn't invincible and my heart broke for his character.
Fav line: Jimmy want a rib! Jimmy want a steak! Jimmy want piece of yo chocolate cake!
