Murphy's Best, Never to be outdone!

This film is now 20 years old, and every aspect of it is simply iconic. Classic. Memorable. Genius! If you disagree, "What do you know from funny, ya bastard?!" Every line in this movie is a line worthy of repeating, every scene one worthy of re-enacting. Easily one of the top ten comedies of all time, and top 100 films of all time. From Zamunda to McDowell's, you'll feel the greasy goodness of Soul Glo in your hair and delight to the sounds of Jackson Heights' own Mr. Randy Watson with his band, Sexual Chocolate. Get off the damn computer and go watch this great movie already!!! August 15, 2008

Finding a Bride in New York City

This is a hilarious movie by Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. One gets reminded of the Klump family from the "Nutty Professor" films when Murphy and Hall's numerous performances of different characters are shown. It was a blast to seem them!

James Earl Jones, Madge Sinclair, and John Amos give excellent performances, while Shari Headley sure is beautiful. Cameos are also a plus: Louie Anderson, Samuel L. Jackson, and a couple of fictional characters from "Trading Places".

The middle and end parts are a bit slow at times, but put that aside, and you've got a clever movie. A- August 5, 2008
