    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

    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.
