Editorial reviews

4 stars out of 5 -- "Sharply scripted....It's still laughter-packed almost 20 years on, and Murphy and co-star Arsenio Hall are a hoot in multiple cameo roles."

A Great Family Movie

Created: 02/11/09
This was a great movie which really showcased eddie Murphy's talents. He played several characters (as he did in The Nutty Professor). It has a unique storyline and was well written. It has a cast of characters (John Amos, Eric LaSalle, and Arsenio Hall). Despite Arsenio Hall's despirate attempt to keep up with Murphy in the talent department, the movie was cute, funny and appeals to the whole family. Not many movies can say that these days.

This movie was funny back in the day and it still stands up now! Absolutely hilariousl!!! Even the full face makeup on Eddie and Arsenio actually looks pretty realistic considering how long ago this movie was produced. I have watched it 3 times since it arrived a week ago!!! Funny, entertaining, visually stunning shots of the palace in Africa, and really ratty looking shots in Queens! You could almost smell the garbage in the streets! John Amos is also great, and I love James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair as the king and queen of Zamunda....very regal and still hilarious!!! Buy it, you'll like it...alot!!!!

This is such a great movie. It is one of Eddie Murphy's earlier works, but it is just as funny as his normal material. It includes an all-star cast as well, including several characters played by Eddie Murphy.

This movie is a must have for anyone's collection. Eddie Murphy, Samuel Jackson, and Aresenio Hall are hilariously funny. I loved it from beginning, middle, to the end. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Everyone should own a copy of this movie. You will love it!
