This movie was a delightful romp through absolutely impossible scenario's, an well worth the price of a ticket to see Eddie Murphy have fun again. (Doesn't just his laugh make you ant to laugh too?) Keep in mind that Brett Ratner did direct, and thus, there is very little social merit to be gleaned from this two hour junk-food fest, it was still a good time.
I suggest you see it with your twenty-year-old son, and just don't expect Shakespeare!
The ensemble cast includes the always spot-on straight man in the body of Matthew Broderick, a sleazeball in the form of Alan Alda, and the charms of the requisite hot F.B.I. agent done splendidly by the too-little-used Ti'a Leone. Rounding out the cast is the barely mentionable Ben Stiller who did just enough to take home a paycheck (probably not HIS paycheck, but maybe the key grip's).
Better yet, don't buy a ticket, but definitely see it on DVD!
