I just discovered an old Eddie Murphy Movie

[mson]

The Distinguished Gentleman- Made in 92 around the same time as Boomerang. It's currently on YouTube. Learned about it yesterday. Nobody talks about it for some reason.

Nobody talks about it for some reason.

There's a good reason nobody talks about it. That was Eddies first flop of a movie.

 

[TEH]

Did Chris Rock remake this …

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Was it good though?

 

[The_Truth]

I like the movie.

 

[Unbothered]

I saw it a few years ago on Bounce TV; I didn't know what to make of it then; it's one of his “odd” movies if that makes sense.

Released at the same time as Boomerang, which is a classic.

The Golden Child was Eddie's first flop imo.

I watched in the theater with my whole family. We liked it back then. I haven't seen it since it was available for rental though.

[Vandelay]

I liked it. It's not your typical Eddie Murphy movie, but if you like political humor I thought it was good.

It's better than 95% of his movies over the last 20 years.
