Year: 1998
Director: Stephen Herek
Plot: Stephen Herek directed this comedy-drama in which soul-less exec Ricky Hayman (Jeff Goldblum), programmer for the failing Good Buy Shopping Network, is dismayed by a request to increase sales in two weeks. Bald do-gooder guru G. (Eddie Murphy) assists when Ricky and marketing director Kate (Kelly Preston) get a freeway flat. When G. passes out, tests indicate a heart murmur and heat prostration, so the robed prophet becomes Ricky's house guest. At a party, G. uses hypnosis and psychology to rid guest Nino Cerruti (portraying himself) of his flying fears. Ricky witnesses this and gets the notion to put G. on the air. Unfortunately, G. ignores both cue cards and on-sale products, prompting station owner McBainbridge (Robert Loggia) to calculate Ricky's severance pay. He's back on the job when both sales and ratings soar. The situation eventually causes Ricky to reexamine how his own values became lost in the labyrinth of corporate consumerism. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Body: I walked out of the theatre after 20 minutes if sheer torment watching what was probably one of the worst movies, of all time, In fact, I dont think you can really call it a movie, or a film, might as well refer to it as what it was, a steaming pile of donkey shit.

Body: i liked shrek ,shrek 2 , mulan(personal faves) and the oldies beverly hills cop1 and 2 and trading places like you. My other faves are: Coming to America (1988)very funny classic with asenio hall(whatever happened to him?)james earl jones in queens ,n.y.(i have actually been there where they filmed that movie,i have seen that mcdugalls{really mcdonalds);i remember the scene when when e.murphy(prince akeem) hands out a stack of money to two homeles old guys that became poor because of the switch of stock shares from the movie Trading Places??; Showtime (2002) great annoying funny cop duo with robert deniro,; Holy Man (1998) ,and Bowfinger(1999) under rated but so-sooo funny especially when e.murphy had to cross that super busy freeway(one my guilty-pleasure funny faves movie)He did win a Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Golden Globe award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Rolefor: Dreamgirls (2006) which is pretty great ;i believe it is his first win for both the SAG awards and Golden Globe awardas for the 2009 beverly hills cop , 15 years later??? i wonder how that would turn out,Will they have the same original cast??guess will find out in the future because nothing much has been written up about this,i thinkyou know,he has an older brother (mostly stand-up comic/comedian and a few bits of acting parts,nothing major though) Charles Q. Murphy;just saw him in a movie a few mths.ago,King's Ransom (2005),not bad;never knew he had an acting brother til i saw that movie;when i saw kings ransom, i thought it was eddie murphy (kinda looks like him but older looking)til i took a second look and read the credits/cast at the end of the movie
