When was Eddie Murphy last funny?

[tcfrogs]

Another bar discussion tonight. What movie??? Bowfinger was good, but I don't buy that the Nutty Professor & his other recent stuff were funny.

Does it go all the way back to Beverly Hills Cop???

Edited for grammar...

1. Shrek & Shrek 2

[NightTrain]

2. The last Eddie Murphy film that I enjoyed was 1987's GOLDEN CHILD.

Unless you count him as the voice of Donkey in SHREK. (Haven't seen SHREK 2, so I can't offer an opinion on that one.)

3. Was he ever funny in movies? I can't recall...

5. Trading Places & 48 Hours

both good & funny.

4. I liked him in Bowfinger

[Minstrel Boy]

8. "Happy premise #3: Even though I feel like I might ignite,

I probably won't."

Also the last time Steve Martin was funny, and the first time in a long while for both.
