Eddie Murphy is great!

I've seen all Eddie Murphy-movies, and I have not yet been disappointed by any of them (except for the 1984-catastrophy "Best Defence"). I cannot see why everyone feels such a need to constantly criticize him. He's the best comedian there is. OK, so maybe I exaggerated just a LITTLE bit, when I gave this movie a solid 9/10, but that's not the point. The point is, this movie isn't bad at all, it's quite funny actually. Tell me honestly that you didn't laugh your a** off, when Eddie said "I just had Italian" or something like that. I like this movie, so what, you can't kill me for it! Eddie, if you ever read this I just want to say: Keep up the good work!
