Ok, private life aside, just focusing on comedy and acting here, what the hell happened to Eddie Murphy?
I was watching Coming To America tonight and it's a really funny film. Not only that, it's a good film too.
How can a man that did films such as Trading Places, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop 1 + 2 (not 3) and to a lesser extent The Golden Child be churning out crap like The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Daddy Day Care?
I don't know what happened to him, but he really fell off. When I was younger he used to be my favourite actor (mainly because Beverly Hills Cop 1 + 2) were 2 of my favourite films, but all his newer stuff is pretty bad.
Nutty Professor is alright, and I kind of liked Metro, but NP 2 and the two Dr. Dolittle's are bad.
I reckon he should go back to his roots of stand up comedy and get his shit sorted out. Then maybe he'll give us something decent to watch.
Life wasnt too bad either, and although it's pretty lame, I kind of like Vampire In Brooklyn, but another one of late, I Spy I think it's called was shite again.
