Murphy gives his sweetest, most touching, and most genuinely likable performance to date, playing a character who embraces society instead of holding it in contempt.

Not only a great comedic effort but Eddie Murphy's best romantic film as well.

very funny and shows Eddie Murphy in his prime

...a worthy followup to Murphy and Landis' first collaboration, Trading Places.
June 06, 2009
The winning combination of Landis and Murphy redeems the very predictable storyline, which is chock-full of snappy one-liners and impressive caricatures by Murphy and Hall.

Superb comic timing, a satirical edge, and Murphy's extraordinary gift for mimicry lift it right out of the trough of mediocrity to which it is all but consigned by its utterly predictable storyline.

Silly, curse-happy '80s Eddie Murphy vehicle.

Murphy has dealt audiences the movie equivalent of a royal flush and he is now clearly Hollywood's reigning king of comedy.
May 20, 2003
A screenplay that seems to have escaped its doctors before it was entirely well.
January 01, 2000
In Landis' hands, the film doesn't live up to even the meagerest of expectations.
October 18, 2008
Starts on a bathroom joke, quickly followed by a gag about private parts, then wanders in search of something equally original for Eddie Murphy to do for another couple of hours.

The director is ... rather distracted; John Landis seems to be browsing through the scenes rather than gobbling them down.
