I love this satirical movie. It's so funny.
I'll go against the crowd and point out that this much-reviled movie actually was quite prescient in premise. It anticipated a lot of History...
The Dudley Moore / Eddie Murphy debacle. The premise has enough promise, but it never really takes off.
Brilliant? Um, no.
Brilliant? Um, no.
Will this movie win any awards? No.
It is a widespread myth that Eddie Murphy's scenes were only added after the movie tested poorly with audiences. That theory makes sense, given that the Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy storylines are so different and set in two time periods, and that Murphy's appearance is so brief.
I'm not sure how else to say it.the above summary pretty much describes my feelings on this movie.
