Eddie at his stand up best again, 20 November 2002
Author: (DeDu6@aol.com) from Newport News, VA

Eddie Murphy Raw is the second stand up film Eddie Murphy did and it's just as funny. The topics froms gays, sex, Wacko Jacko and Mr. T are all very very funny. Some of the film's best moments are when Eddie does impressions. If you've never seen this film you're in for a treat.
