7/10
Excellent cast /solid humor

You can't go wrong with this cast. David Alan Grier and Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence at his quirkiest delivery and Chris Rock. Edie does a sold hub acting here and his comedic timing is right on.

The lot is a it one note, mostly about a womanizer who eventually turns to true love. For that to occur, we didn't have Enough time built with his real love, to believe it. It's till good that it happened, the womanizer turning to his real love, we just needed to see that authenticity is more scenes. Too much time as spent in the womanizing (with Robin Givens (well played)), and raunchy sex that wasn't necessary. A warning for current day users that the workplace romance could never occur today with Eddie's character bedding the owner, his boss and his subordinate all in a few weeks. We have so much transparency and openness required in work relationships today.

A sold comedy. Great cast. Great comedic timing. Eddie Murphy is a solid, great character. And the supoortoncast with an always excellent David Alan Grier, Lawrence, Rock and Eartha Kitt allow it to lynch with their great cameos.
