All I hear is that god damn donkey every time the ads for Tower Heist come on.

F*ck DeNiro sold out.

Seriously? These are the WORST Eddie Murphy movies you can come up with?

I would posit that Meet Dave and The Haunted Mansion are worse than A Vampire in Brooklyn or Dr. Doolittle.

Boomerang and Metro are far lousier than Harlem Nights. That said, the man became one of the biggest stars in the world on the basis of two stand-up specials, 3.5 movies (Coming to America is terrible but great) and four seasons on SNL. That ain't bad.

You're telling us that you think Nutty Professor 2: Meet the Klumps is better than Harlem Nights, AND you think you can get me to bite on your obvious Bowfinger trolling? Ha.

Will Eddie Murphy reference Norbit during his Oscar hosting duties? I hope so....There's so much potential to mock all these crap movies. I hope he doesn't shy away from making fun of himself.

Or save it for Anjelica Huston's worst movie list.

holy shit. elle fanning in daddy day care? had no idea.

I have to give some love to "Distinguished Gentleman".

Until it kind of goes off the rails near the end, the movie has some frighteningly accurate portrayals of Capitol Hill life.

The scene where he gets a crappy office because he didn't participate in the lottery? Totally true; they are on the 5th floor of the Cannon building, and they used to have chicken wire cages for staff as supplementary office space.

Basically, I've seen nearly every vignette in that movie played out in real life.

I call foul on Harlem Nights. It may not be very funny, but it DOES have a very well-written crime story and very memorable scenes. And Richard Pryor's performance in that flick was genuinely heartfelt and powerful. In the scenes where he's talking with Murphy and trying to serve as a mentor to keep him away from criminal wrongdoing you can feel the fatherly concern he has.

Norbit should top this list, though. Never have I felt LITERAL pain from watching a movie until I saw that one. It's like the script was directly lifted off the Necronomicon.

Sorry Harlem Nights does not belong on this list. Fabulous cast and tons of great lines.
For some reason I like Holy Man, and it has nothing to do with my obsession with Jeff Goldblum, well maybe a little but there was something about it I really liked.

I have been chastised for YEARS for my usually unwelcomed distaste for Harlem Nights, I have seen it several times, and yes when Della tells Eddie she is about to cut him and then he shoots her baby toe off, its funny, kinda... and a couple of other scenes, but collectively that movie sucks donkey ass.

Y'all need to ease up on Boomerang, that movie was probably the most honest movie Eddie ever did,(and granted thats not saying much) he was the straight man which was rare...and most important, to me at least, is it was the last Eddie Murphy movie I liked, so I give him a pass on that movie; Leave Boomerang alone dammit!!!

At least Daddy Daycare had Cheap Trick in it.
