Funny as hell

it's a shame people seem to think this movie sucks, sure it's not an Oscar worthy movie, but is hilarious as hell. I think Eddie Murphy is ok in this one, compared to some of his newer ones. Robert De Niro on the other hand was awesome, he have some of the funniest lines i've ever heard in a movie in a long time.

The line about how his home is the bat cave, or the one scene where Shatner tastes the white powder, and de niro comments about what if it would be cyanide.

Or the one where Murphy slides over the car, pure comedy gold.

Might not be the bestest movie in the world! But it is funny, a lot funnier than both of their recent movies.

You know what? I agree. I don't understand why there's so much hate for the movie. Dumb, but entertaining. And funny.

I remember seeing this in theaters spring break of my sophomore year, thought it was hilarious then and it holds up over a decade later. Deniro and Murphy are great together
