    Truly, one of the best "struggling to make a movie" movie ever. Eddie Murphy's hilarious double performance and Steve Martin's brilliant comedic timings serve this film very well. Excellent soundtrack too.

    Smoothly directed and acted with glee... showing quick-witted comic spirit.

    Priceless enough to flush "Metro," "Dr. Dolittle" and "Holy Man" from memory.

    Never hits a note of high hilarity.
