A TYPICAL EDDIE MURPHY SPOOF, 18 March 2002
7/10
Author: iohefy-2 from Charlotte, NC

I went to see this movie not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by the teaming of Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy. It was a fast paced movie and the hour and a half went by fast. This one certainly won't win any Academy Awards but it was a change of pace for Mr. De Niro. He is good in comedy. Overall I enjoyed it.
