Eddie Murphy did a few great comedies, truly of genius. Then, once he said what he had to say, he started drfting into roles that he walked through. They singularly lacked inspiration, originality, or energy. This is one of those mediocre films: while they tried to spice it up with the multiple role playing, most of the jokes in this - not to forget the entire plot - fall pretty flat. To make up for the lack of a spark, it just gets more vulger and outlandish.Not recommended, except for devotees.
