MAXIMUM ASS

Nathan Rabin of the Onion A.V. Club:

Just try to imagine a world without [Eddie] Murphy. It’d be a grim dystopia where filmmakers would have to hire different actors to play morbidly obese shrews, skinny geeks and grotesque Asian-American stereotypes, a nightmare realm where red leather jumpsuits went tragically unworn and hilarious stand-up routines about faggots with AIDS were never written or performed. It’s a world where transvestite hookers are tragically denied rides from good Samaritans and Chris Tucker voices sass-talking dragons and donkeys. In short it’s a world no one wants to contemplate, let alone inhabit.
