OK, probably been said a thousand times, but this IS Eddie Murphy at his best. I originally watched this back in the day ('88) and fell in love with his comedic stylings (although Richard Pryor'ish at times), you forgive Mr. Murphy because he does it so well.
From animating the most peculiar (what if they were...) gay personalities to reflecting on a childhood which I have a real empathy with (!), Murphy manages to have you on the verge of hysterical collapse every time.
I have seen this film umpteen times, know it verbatim but still manage to laugh out loud when the punchlines come. If you do anything in this lifetime, see this film as it is a true masterpiece!!!
