Eddie Murphy back when he was RAW... The acting by Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd in this movie is wonderful. I wish Eddie Murphy would go back to doing movies like this and Beverly Hills Cop and stop doing the crap that he does today. -T

Comedy is like pornography: there is an infallible test of whether it works. For comedy, of course, it's Does it make you laugh? By that test, this movie was a failure for me. The only scene I thought was genuinely funny was the one where Murphy was dressed in a dashiki.

Quite possibly the 2nd funniest movie of the 80's; right next to Caddyshack.

I've widely heard this is a comedy classic, full of laughs. My experience is that it is quite the opposite. Only a small handful of the jokes made me chuckle, and there aren't very many of them throughout the whole two hour movie. In fact, the entire film didn't feel like much of a comedy. I guess I just don't get it.
