My husband, circa 1954, has long been quoting long passages of Rudy Ray Moore, and has the ALBUMS. That being said, Eddie Murphy stole the show; i wanted more of Da vine, and the old hobo rapper. I also wanted better sidekick performances than Titus and Epps delivered, though Epps had his moments. I also think that I wanted to see Edde transform into Rudy, not just Eddie playing Rudy, if that makes sense. The sex scene had me in stitches, and I enjoyed the movie,as a whole and would recommend (but not to my mom).
