I did not like this movie.....at all. I did not like Shrek the Third
and Shrek 2 was...well okay. I think the thing that disappoints me the
most is that the original trilogy is so good. Now as I already said, I
did not like Shrek the Third. So considering that this was a
technically constituted as a continuation ruined it for me from the
start. I think the biggest problem ...

Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

Other than a few misses (Tom Arnold for one) I thought this was one of
the better roasts. I'm not sure what standard you other guys are
holding this up to. I'm guessing you thought the Flavor Flav roast was
the funniest thing you've ever seen.Greg Giraldo wasn't funny? Please, he was one of the better roasters
and he had the intimidating task of going first. Car...

always seem to get a low rating on IMDb) but if you watch them for what
they are they are FUNNY.@jogliore from United States What's wrong with you? My wife and kids

Genres: Comedy    Romance

First let me say ... I am an Eddie Murphy fan. I think he's a comic
genius. And that's why I was so surprised to see him star in and even
write such a low level and offensive comedy.The first few minutes of the film started out with a little promise,
but it didn't take long for the film to fall to such a low level that I
cringed from early in until the movie was over. A...

I have to say that i was holding my breath when I sat down to watch
this. I wanted so much to like it but everything pointed to this being
a total disaster. First off Christmas specials are rarely on the
caliber of Charlie Brown Christmas and are usually closer to The Star
Wars Holiday Special. Add on the fact that the last Shrek movie was
nowhere near as good as the first two....

disappoint. But, oh, how wrong I was! While not as bad as many a film

Screened overnite in Australia for critics and industry.Ten minutes into director Bill Condon's adaptation of the hit musical,
I whispered to my friend "There's no way the film can go at this pace
for two hours!" Because up to that point, we had been utterly dazzled
by breathtaking staging, impassioned performances and a display of
film-making craftsmanship in all its forms...

I was in Hollywood in the summer of 2003 and I saw this when I visited
Universal Theme park.This was a funny "ride" as you watched the 3-D video
on
the giant theatre screen the chairs moved along with the movie,like when

seats shook as if you were riding in the carriage alongside the characters

Genres: Comedy    Family    Fantasy    Mystery    Thriller

Another nail in the coffin of Eddie Murphy's career, The Haunted
Mansion is a slap-dash attempt to cash in on The Pirates of the
Caribbean, an infinitely more successful and better film based on a
Disneyland ride. There's just nothing here to write about--very little
human drama and not enough computer wizardry to keep you from noticing
you don't care about the humans.About the...

I've seen this movie a couple of times and I'm feeling rather mixed
about it. On one level I have a new kind of respect for Eddie, seeing
him in a nice family movie that I can show my baby cousins and still
laugh at myself. However I also know that we've passed the point of no
return on this one, we will never again see the strong 80's Eddie that
we once loved. I suppose we sho...
2002
Genres: Comedy    Action    Sci-Fi   

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Randy Quaid, Rosario Dawson, Joe Pantoliano, Jay Mohr, ...

This is just another example of the continuing downward spiral of Eddie
Murphy's once exciting career. Murphy will always have scripts handed to him
and he'll always be working in films but the once edgy comedian has lost his
edge a long time ago. This story takes place in the future where Earth has
populated the Moon and a former smuggler named Pluto Nash (Murphy) takes

I had to decide: go and see Sweet Home Alabama, or go and see I Spy? I
took the decision I took, because I like Owen Wilson and I also like
Eddie Murphy, so I thought, in the case in which the movie would be
worth nothing, I'd still get to see some friendly faces. I'm pleased I
can say it was about what I expected.I put this movie in two categories, and I think I placed it ...
2002
Genres: Action    Comedy    Crime   

Starring: Robert De Niro, Rachael Harris, Eddie Murphy, Zaid Farid, Alex Borstein, ...

I cannot understand why so many
people did not like this film. Robert
De Niro was on top of his game,
delivering his lines with such aplomb,
one has to believe this is his everyday
demeanor. Granted, the film seemed
to take on many buddy-film conventions
while trying to make fun of the concept,
it goes without saying this film was
genuinely funny. From ...
2001
Genres: Comedy    Family    Romance   

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Kristen Wilson, Raven-Symoné, Kyla Pratt, Lil' Zane, ...

"Dr. Dolittle 2" is pretty much what you would expect out of a family
comedy, only a tad more crude. We could've done with maybe one less gag
about animal urination. The plot is a pious, predictable one involving the
preservation of an endangered species of bears. You know, one of those
storylines that's supposed to deliver a "message" to all the young ones out
there.Like us...

Shrek is a wonderful parody of every fairytale story that you can think
of, for the kids it has charm, humour and tons of fun, and is a

subtle innuendo and more adult themes running seamlessly along side the

Given Tom Cruise's recent unstable behavior, it might be the right time
to revisit 'Bowfinger,' Steve Martin and Frank Oz's highly
under-appreciated satire of the side of Hollywood we mere mortals
aren't supposed to see.In Hollywood, there are no secrets--everyone knows who's secretly gay

movie work.1999's Life is a good example of Murphy getting

I was impressed by this Disney film for so many reasons, too many to

be one of the best Disney female characters that ever saw production,
in the midst of a colorful and artistic film, that will resonate in

I can understand why this movie received such a low rating from the overall
IMDB audience. There is probably a large segment of voters who expect
certain things from an Eddie Murphy movie who were disappointed. Murphy is
best known for action comedies in the vein of 48 Hrs. and Beverly Hills Cop.
He also did some fine work in Trading Places, a straight up, but darkly

his gift is long forgotten until he hits a dog with his car and hears it

Perhaps the biggest problem in Eddie Murphy's career always was, that people
expected him to be a fast talking guy whose mouth gets him in and out of
trouble. As soon as he tried to escape that formula, viewers were in for a
disappointment and found his movies below than average.If you leave that behind, "Metro" is a solid action movie with a couple of
remarkable stunt scenes. It's...

people. Most skinny people just assume that we're lazy. They think that we

I think "Beverly Hills cop III" was an extremely regrettable turning point
in the nice career of one of the most talented and funniest black comedians
Hollywood has ever seen - Mr. Eddie Murphy. Before it he used to be funny or
at least much funnier. He appeared in the rather enjoyable flicks like "48
Hrs.", "Coming to America", "Another 48 Hrs.", "The Distinguished

Genres: Comedy    Crime

This overlooked Eddie Murphy from 1992 gem is much better than most
critics would have you believe. Murphy plays a charming con man who
swindles his way into Congress through voter inattention -- they think
he's the incumbent, who is actually deceased. What starts as a game to
merely soak the job for all it's worth turns into an unlikely effort to
make a real difference...

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Robin Givens, Halle Berry, David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence, ...

After a terrible 1991 loanout to Hollywood Pictures for the weak comedy "The

year and gave one of his all time best and funniest performances in this
romantic comedy with a twist. Murphy portrays Marcus Graham, a New York

Another 48 Hrs. (1990) was another sequel. During the 80's any movie
that made the slightest of profits made a sequel. For one reason only,
to make even more money. However many producers never made another dime
off of the momentum of the previous film and were stuck with a sequel
that cost two or three times as much as the original film, Another 48

The first part of this movie, showing Eddie Murphy's life as an African

Genres: Comedy

This movie came out late 1987, and people were dying for a sequel to
"Delirious" which was 1983. If you go back and watch Richard Pryor's
"live in Concert" or "Here and Now" you see that Eddie used some of
Pryor's stuff, but gave it its own shot of himself (In delirious,
Murphy does the "bARBQ scene/story" and he describes his aunt falling

Why hardly anybody seems to appreciate this film anymore is without doubt
one of the greatest mysteries of our time. I'm truly perplexed. Roger Ebert
seems to be the only critic to at least half-realise how truly funny,
entertaining and brilliant a film THE GOLDEN CHILD really is.Without doubt it's one of Eddie Murphy's finer films; it's impossible to not

Beverly Hills Cop was a big hit in the 1980's. The film was loved by
many action fans, as well as comedy fans and movie buffs at the time.
It is still being admired by many people as one of the funniest cop

I was 16 when my parents took me to see Eddie Murphy live in concert in
Washington DC at Constitution Hall back in 1983. Unfortunately, since then

Starring: Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy, Annette O'Toole, Frank McRae, James Remar, ...

This is the one of the movies that kicked off the buddy cop formula.
Technically, Nick Nolte's the only cop, but other films have tried to
imitate the style by having a tough, cranky, by-the-book cop (Nolte's
character) paired off with a loose, easygoing, unorthodox cop (like Murphy's
character). Some of these "imitators" have failed miserably and even those
that succeeded do...
