Eddie Murphy

You can almost take your pick of Eddie Murphy films, there are many that belong here..

I'm going to nominate GOLDEN CHILD as perhaps his worst.. COMING to AMERICA was another.. and of course, all the films where he tries to play everyone, such as THE KLUMPS..

BEVERLY HILLS COP was about as slow as watching asphalt dry in winter, and yet it was a big hit. It wasn't a good comedy, nor a good police action film - and it couldn't decide which one to be.

DR. DOOLITTLE was also terrible - a bad remake of a bad original? who does that?

The only Eddie Murphy film I'd recommend as 'good' is TRADING PLACES, and he wasn't very funny in it, he just got some good lines, like "They're screaming 'sell! sell!', else I can't afford to get the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip!"

Murphy was so bad as a standup comic, that in the Showtime Comedy Laff-off, or whatever they called it, he came in LAST in the fan voting! Nuff Said!
