    Aw come on. This is one of my favorite movies ever. It's funny and well...it's good. Scratch that, excellent!!! I couldn't even find one flaw! I would give it a chance and if you're into comedy, you'll love this.

    Eddie Murphy is excellent as Professor Klump but some of the other characters he plays are hard to watch.

    While not quite up to the standard of the original, I can't help but wonder that if this one had come first, would most critics praise it the way they talked about its progenitor.

    There will never be integration as long as African Americans insist in maintaining their differences from the rest of us in such a fashion. So alien one would seek the solace of the familiar in Hindu film or Peking opera. A total insult to the humanity and intelligence of black folk. Other than that I thought it was great. It's the kind of movie Ebert gives a better mark than other critics - a word to the wise is sufficient. Although Murphy plays all the Klump roles (only the grandmother is believable), he demonstrates wisdom for the ages by not calling the film, "Being Eddie Murphy." A must see for the development-arrested. Belated 3 points for creativity. Expand

    Eddie Murphy should have just stopped at the first movie. The first movie was crude enough, but this took it to a whole new level. And what happened to Klump's girlfriend from the first movie? Did they break up or something? Now his new girlfriend is played by Janet Jackson.

    Wastes most of its 110 minutes making impotent jokes about male sexual behavior and the repugnance of old women.

    This is a parlor trick, but it's a hell of a good one.
  3. It will linger like a foul odor or the taste of tinfoil between the teeth.
