Talkin' Dirty After Dark (1991) User Reviews

Talkin' Dirty is a dirty little pleasure

[view_and_review · 6/10 · 30 March 2020]

Before Martin Lawrence had a hit show he had some bit parts in a few movies and even a small part on "What's Happening Now." "Talkin' Dirty After Dark" was a movie he starred in though I don't think he proudly touts that.

"Talkin' Dirty After Dark" is a funny low budget movie about a comedy club called Dukie's. Martin Lawrence was the star of the movie playing an up and coming comedian named Terry Lombard. The funniest parts of this movie were the stand-up routines. There were routines from Mark Curry, Lance Crouther, Dwayne Kennedy, Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, and of course Martin Lawrence.

Talkin' Dirty is more of a dirty little pleasure. It's not a particularly well written or even acted movie, but it is oh so funny. I feel guilty even admitting I like it.

Anyone who gave this embarrassing mess a 10 or 9 must be blind!!

I finally decided to take a look at this "movie" after passing it for years! I soon regretted that decision! Martin Lawrence should have NEVER tried to act in a movie! 30 mins of him is my legal limit!

This movie is silly, sad, horrible and STUPID!

Finally poor Tiny Lister has played the SAME character his ENTIRE career, he is the go to man, for BIG and DUMB!!

Very good comedy

Martin Lawrence is my favourite comedy actor.This is his first leading role in a movie.He is great.This movie has small budget but it has some funny jokes and it is very entertaining movie.I would recommend this movie to anyone who like quality and intelligent comedy movies.Although it is an independent movie with very low budget there are many famous black comedy names in this movie:John Witherspoon(Friday,DR.Dollitle 2),Tiny Listner(Dracula 3000).They are also great actors.Witherspoon is one of the most famous black comedy actors of all time,and Listner is hilarious in this movie.This movie is not a masterpiece but it is very funny and it is easy to watch this movie and enjoy in brilliant jokes about sex and life of ordinary black people.I have seen many Martin Lawrence movies but this movie is different there the others,It is a classical slapstick comedy.The scenes in the comedy club are great.All the comedy actors are very funny and talented.The movie follows story of another stand up comedy actor,He is in love in a cute girl,but two other girls are chasing him,one of them is ugly,but the other one is sexy and I enjoyed while i was watching her in this movie.This is a silly comedy for people who like black comedies and sex jokes is highly recommended.

Another one of my favorites.

Again, another favorite movie of mine. I first caught it on late night cable. Found out when it was on again. Taped it, and watched it 40 times since. An early preformance by Martin Lawrence, who was only in the equally great House Party 2 years before. It has some of the funniest lines I've ever heard, including the cook's thoughts on cannibalism.

Here's the plot: In an LA comedy club, Dukie loves Aretha, Dukie's wife Rubie Lin loves Terry, and Terry just wants 6 bucks for his phone bill.

Highly recommended.
