An average movie

By now, I have the dubious honor of having watched all the movies involving Eddie Murphy. Yes, I have watched every single one of them. It is in fact rather surprising since I have never been a huge fan of his work but, somehow, all his movie have been broadcasted at least once on one of the Dutch channels I have. Anyway, what always stroke me with his movies is the fact all most of them had some very lame concept so, right from the start, they were pretty hopeless. However, there are some expections and some of his features actually had some pretty cool ideas. Indeed, this movie for example, had so much potential! I mean, I love movies about politics and the concept behind this picture was rather interesting. But, unfortunately, instead of making a smart comedy or something sharp and cynical, the whole premise was just an excuse for some stupid lame jokes by Mr Murphy... Pretty much as usual with this supposedly talented actor. To conclude, it was just too bad because, this time, it seemed that the whole thing really had some potential but it was once again really underwhelming and I don’t think it is much worth a look.
