The Really Un-exciting Adventures of a Person with a Horrible Name
By Michele Dillon

Alright, let’s get it over with and right out into the open…I am in love with Eddie Murphy. His voice, his hair, his acting abilities down to his crazy out there funniness…man, if only there was a way I could meet him, I just know I could make him love me back. (This paragraph is best understood if read in a sarcastic tone).

Ok, now that that is out of the way; what was up with this movie? As I was watching it, I was wondering, as I often do, how this movie even got past the pre-production phase…as in the pre-pre-production phase where the movie hasn’t even been bought by a studio yet. It just boggles my mind how movies like this can get made and yet I am still not making movies. Yes, I know, it all comes down to dedication and you know “actually trying” but really, if I had done even either of those things…I could have made a really sh***y movie by now! If only! Can you think of it? I would title it “The Dumbest Movie Ever” Starring Jackie Chan, Eddie Murphy, Cedric the Entertainer and Scarlet Johannson (AKA the dumbest actors ever). It would be amazingly bad! Come to think of it, I am going to start writing it now…I just hope that I can get the cast I am picturing….ahh, who am I kidding, they’ve got nothing else better to do!

Anyway, I totally lost track of the fact that I am writing a review and not telling you about my awesome future plans for my life…so this movie, um…I really don’t know…I did watch it…it’s just…hmmm…OK, yes, I believe there was Eddie Murphy and he lived on the moon (by the way, the moon is very dusty, don’t ever try to live there) and someone was trying to take over all of the moon’s businesses in order to make the whole moon a casino (I know, why didn’t I think of this). So as if that wasn’t enough of a plot to keep you going (which, by the way, it really wasn’t) then they also added some running away and some hiding and even the all inclusive cloning! If I haven’t sold you on this movie yet then you just have no creativity or imagination.

So anyway, obviously I loved this movie and I will immediately go out and buy it and watch it every day. (Come to think of it, this whole review would be best understood if read in a sarcastic tone)
