I second the motion of saving your money, it was almost like everyone was trying too hard to be funny

I have no interest in the movie. It seems that he's taking his career backwards, but I guess that's where his comedic heart is.

I was THIS close to seeing it these evening. But I figured I had my dose of Eddie today when I caught Nutty Professor II on USA.

I always thought Eddie Murphy did have color issues myself- it seems like evry movie he's been in has a light-skinned lead, and the dark-skinned women are hoes or crazy (see Coming to America and Boomerang).
This petition soooooo got more people to see this movie then would have ever even noticed it before.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting. Interesting indeed.
So maybe he has issues with himself? 
Wait! Tisha Campbell (pre-Martin/Boomerang) was crazy for hollering and shouting over that fence. 
Errr, uhh, my mother just emailed that she saw it. According to her, "it provided many laughs." LOL (I'm going to have to keep my eye on her.)

And the proof of it is Nicole Mitchell (biracial), Melanie Brown (biracial) and Tracey Edmonds (fair-skinned AfAm). Eddie's color issues aren't foreign, of course, to the industry. Look at Jigga and Spike Lee, but with lil' Shelton, he doesn't say it -- he casts it (Cynda Williams, Lonette McKee, Raye Dowell etc.)
