I was in my right mind to fear watching this movie. I already was expecting it to be terrible and instead it was dreadful! Right now, the only good movie that I can remember Eddie Murphy being in is the Shrek series and he was playing an animated donkey. He needs to stop being an “ass” and start learning how to act again because pretty soon people are going to get tired of his one man show. I know I already am.
I think the only way to describe how awful this movie was, is to make a pros and cons list. I will start with the cons.

Cons
1.) Eddie Murphy in a fat suit portraying an evil, ugly woman who’s only dialogue is with herself and she seems to be in a competition to see how many times she can say “How YOU doin’?”. She almost won, if she had said it one more time, I would have slit my throat, or Eddie Murphy’s, whichever one would have been quickest.
2.) Cuba Gooding Jr. deciding to add yet another movie to his list of “how to persuade America I don’t deserve to make movies anymore, yet alone have been respected for my role in Radio”.
3.) Yet another storyline of boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, trouble ensues and boy gets blamed for something he did not do, boy proves himself right, boy gets girl. Did I give anything away?
4.) Fat humor…it’s not funny anymore. Wait…it was never funny.

Pros
1.) ????????
