Eddie Murphy is great, no matter what he does (well, maybe we could just forget about "Norbit"), and this film is no exception - even though it's predictable and thoroughly unrealistic by anyone's standards, it's still fun because of his winning performance and the performances of several of his co-stars, particularly Khamani Griffin as Murphy's son Ben - where did they find HIM?! Amazing little actor, capable of turning his face into the saddest one you've ever seen, or the happiest, depending on what's called for. And the outtakes at the end are cool too. Murphy has matured beyond his 'angry' stage and he brings a true warmth to this character, very endearing.
