the same concept as with the Batman & Robin movie poll, rate it in a number your think this movie diserves from the scale between 0/10, One of the most revolutionary brave comedic films from the 80s where thw two lead rolls playes many roles in the same movie. I have seen it 14 times  , but i would not rate it higher then 8/10 a good movie but not a masterpiece but close to be one, a nearly masterpiece.   -------------

| I give it a 5, not a big fan of this kind of goofy comedy (plus wasn't Murphy accused of stealing the idea?)-- if I'm going to watch a silly 80s comedy it's probably gonna be Weekend at Bernie's or Tootsie |

I had to go with 1 as I have only seen it once. Beverly Hills Cop is my favorite. Also liked Trading Places.
------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I liked the movie, pretty funny in some spots. The bath tub scene with Murphy and the servant girls is good......My problem with this movie is Arsenio Hall......100% a Murphy wanna be and I think he rode Eddie's coat tails for some time. Eddie could have picked a better side kick....I never thought Arsenio was funny at all.
6/10 -------------

I laughed out loud almost to tears when I saw this in the theater when it first came out in a few places. But it didn't age very well.
The only comedies I go back to from that era are What About Bob? and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

| 7/10, very funny movie. "Hey, baby, I'm almost single. My husband's on death row."Girl, you look so good, someone ought to put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit." |

I watched this only the other day and i've watched this loads of times and still enjoy it. I gave this an 8. Trading Places on the otherhand would have got a 10 as it's one of my all time faves

7 / 10, because it has its moments. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's not. The storyline is good. When it comes on TV, I wouldn't zap it away. It's entertaining alright. So it deserves a 7/10. |

Used to be one of my favourites when I was younger. Haven't seen it for over 6 years probably, so I can't remember much of it.
