I imagine that my reputation in this phorum already hit a rock bottom after that posts on Seagal, but I have to say this: I hate with all my strengh Eddie Murphy and his vehicles, and yet I laughed all my way through his last turd, "I Spy". The movie is pretty bad, and Malcolm McDowell is given literally nothing to do as the villain, but Eddie Murphy was surprisingly funny. I couldn't help it and I started cracking up when he complained about the hotel room, or later when he is given a sock (!) to cover his face in a clandestine op. By the time he clued an agent to recite "Sexual healing" to his platonic love, my sides were aching, and the last joke in the movie is just hilarious. What can I say...
The thing I have noticed with Eddie Murphey, is that all his characters seem to have merged into one. Rent Shrek, Mulan, I Spy and Nutty Professor 2, and all he does is talk and babble and occasionally will sing a funny song or say a funnt line.
It almost seems that murphy has always been on Ritalin, and every director who uses him now just takes it away so he becomes a bumbleing fool.
How was Owen Wilson in this Movie???
Wilson was quite funny, somehow he reprised his role from "Shangai kid", but instead of a useless cowboy he plays an useless spy. At least he dropped the "I am so good, you know" attitude an instead of that he plays it soft and vulnerable.
