I enjoyed it. Doesnt hold up great over time, but I still think it's a good Murphy flick
Classic 80s Eddie with great effects at the end
Struggles from the multi-genre. And then when the effects come they feel hidden. Murphy has a couple funny moments. Lewis is lovely.
Absolutely hysterical. It’s an underrated hidden gem from Eddie Murphy. It can be a little slow paced,& does have its flaws, but it’s good.
This just screams 80's comedy. From the music to the clothes and everything in between. Eddie Murphy is in fine comedic form though.
Entertaining adventure when Murphy still made good movies.
Definitely fun to watch, just not amazing
Was really funny back in the day, though it has not added well. Today you can skip this.
Decent. More of an action fantasy than a comedy
Why did this movie get so much crap? If you actually watch it through you'd see how good it really is. No it's not amazing, but it's good.
