Poll question: Worst Eddie Murphy film
In honor of the soon to be released "Haunted Mansion," starring Eddie "I use to be funny" Murphy, I give you my first poll.
Worst Eddie Murphy Film.
This is tough considering the steaming piles of celluloid Murphy has starred in the last several of years. Now I know it might be tough for some of you to think about some of these films again (lord knows I did 6 months in therapy for Klumps 2), but please try. :)

21. Pluto Nash
Eddie Murphy did everything in his power to keep that movie from being seen by audiences, and it worked for 4 years

2. Best Defense
Really a Dudley Moore movie, with about 5 minutes of Eddie Murphy footage. But, all the promos had EDDIE MURPHY in giant type above the name.

A perfectly bad movie, in every way.

4. What was he thinking........
When he did the nutty professor films. I liked Daddy Day Care I thought it was cute and alot of his old stuff was good too. I thought that the doolittle stuff was alright but the nutty professor just flat out sucked. I didn't even bother watching Bowfinger...I saw the cover of the box for rental and walked away quickly. LOL

6. Bowfinger was actually pretty funny.
Probably the best thing Murphy's done in the past decade...which, true, isn't really saying much.

23. Perhaps because he didn't have control
more of a Martin project, I believe. When he has complete control, he sucks. Have you watched him on Letterman or Leno? He is completely outside reality now. Completely detached, he no longer lives on our planet.

12. The best one
was 48 Hours. The BHC ones were sort of all right. Holy Man sucked shit. So did the Golden Child. A lot of his movies seemed lame to me.

Is that the one where the guy gets raped by the giant gerbil? Is that not in the worst of taste?

20. The first Beverely Hills Cop was good.
Then the plummet began...

I Spy wasn't the agony I anticipated. I only watched it for Famke Jannsen.

22. Man, that guy turned into such a whore.
Everything of his in the last 15 years has just been tripe.

I seriously hate him. His movies remind me of my ex-girlfriend- her dad was a huge Eddie Murphy fan.
