Eddie Sucks.
I seem to have this
"goodwill" attitude with Eddie Murphy...don't
know why, because he can be quite
obscene...though, of course, he's largely left
that behind for the average to below family
fluff.
Any semblance of good will goes out the door
when I see Murphy...an actual, talented human
being...offering the public crap like this film.
There literally is nothing positive about this
film beyond an occasional joke that works and
some amusing costuming and set choices. This
film is certainly not a horror film, an action
film, a family film, a vampire film or even a
comedy. It is not romantic...it is mostly just
embarrassing for all involved, I'm sure.
Murphy co-wrote this stuff, so he has to accept
much of the blame. In one of his worst
decisions, Wes Craven directs this film. Ah yes,
Wes, please stick to horror films. You do not
have a gift for this sort of film.
There are no decent side performances here...Kadeem
Hardison...awful...John
Witherspoon...hilariously awful...Angela
Bassett...humiliating...Joanna
Cassidy...unmentionable.
This film is laced with obscenities, and
racial/ethnic stereotypes. They come off as
mostly sad and pathetic attempts at humor.
Whatever genre of filmmaking you enjoy, this
film will be a disappointment. Eddie Murphy fans
would do best to just skip this one.
