What's the deal with Eddie Murphy?
shmokes:
I'm all wired up from the healthcare thread today. ;D

The Nutty Professor was good.
How about mentioning the fact that Eddie walked out of the Oscars when he didn't win the award. He literally got up and walked out of the theater after Alan Arkin was announced.

Now that is a little b*tch.
Howard_Casto:
Actually, for actor driven films (in other words one person carries the whole film) it's generally assumed that the more money you make, the less successful you are critically. You see people will go to non-edgy films more than they will go to more niche films.
In other words crap sells because it's bland enough for the masses to accept.
It's just like music really. People like Ashley Simpson are at the top of the charts, but do you really think that makes them better than someone more obscure? Nah, her stuff is just so generic anybody can tolerate it.
With that being said, Mr. Murphy has what I like to call "old comedians syndrome". See part of being a good comedian (and of course part of making good comedic films) involves having a quick wit and having a pulse on the latest in pop-culture. After a comedian reaches the age of 40, he automatically becomes at least 50% less funny. It's not an Eddie Murphy exclusive.... Chevy Chase, Robin Williams, Tim Allen (ok Tim Allen was never funny) ect.... it happens to them all.
