A lot of people don't like this movie, but it's one my "Early" Eddie Murphy favorites. I can't hardly stand him now, but he was flawless in the 80's almost. Seems like now he's trying too hard to be "80's Eddie" again and it just doesn't work. He tried to revive his Coming to America phase by doing "Norbit", which was terrible. "Haunted Mansion"(Bad, even for Disney)
"Adventures of Pluto Nash"(Wuh?) "Daddy Day Camp"(Not too bad) "Showtime"(Good comedy, but should've been made in the late 80's, early 90's) "I Spy"(I tried SO hard to like this one, but it sucked). "Dreamgirls"(His acting in that was actually good, but he acted like a baby when he didn't win the Academy Award for it). That new "Meet Dave" he's doing looks cute but could also be real annoying. I guess after the 2nd Nutty Professor, I just kinda gave up on ol' Eddie. I can watch his younger year movies and still laugh, but now, he's all washed up.
