Crass and Crude
by
After watching the preview on Fandango, I decided this film must be "The Nutty Professor" with a slightly more adult twist. So I took my ten year old son for an Easter outing.
After forty minutes, I took him out, embarrassed to have been so wrong. Eddie Murphy took the gentle humor of his Nutty Professor films and twisted it into offensive stereotypes. Unlike the other movies, in my opinion Murphy never lost himself under the makeup, but merely did quick SNL caricatures without the underlying humanity.
The trailer should really have been more explicit about the extensive sexual "humor" in the script. Next time I'll read user reviews before buying a ticket.
