Hrm. Second look at DOLEMITE IS MY NAME?

I mean, this review is really tempting me to watch DOLEMITE IS MY NAME.

This bit in particular struck me:

We come to admire Moore not as a performer but as an entrepreneur, a classic American type, a hard-working slogger who takes on the task of making a movie not only for himself but for an assortment of friends who need a little excitement in their lives. The only time Rudy expresses real anger comes when the bit-part actor he’s hired to direct the film (a wonderful turn by Wesley Snipes, who reminds us what a terrific comic performer he can be) acts as though he’s feels he’s slumming by working on it. Rudy is paying for the movie, and he’s the star of the movie, but, he says, “if a box needs to be moved, I will move the box. And if the crew is hungry, I’ll be downstairs making sandwiches!”

Which is to say, he’s a small businessman who’s put everything on the line.

But I’m busy this month, so I dunno. Anybody watch it yet?
