A shallow skeleton of a farce would be my summery for this. I found this film to be a bit underwhelming given "Dudley Moore" and "Eddie Murphy", a lot of the comedy seems to come off as quite bland. I also wasn't sure where the story was heading as it [spoiler] shifted between the two main actors, only at the end did I realize that it was showing "Dudley's" past events to the lead up to "Murphy's" [/spoiler] [spoiler] It is kind of strange that neither of the two characters meet or are on screen together at nay point, which does make sense in the end, however it was not what I went into the film believing. [/spoiler] I enjoyed the final tie up toward the end though so there's that. All I can say is temper your expectation's for a semi-passable watch with a few chuckles thrown in.
