sillstaw 414 Posted March 14, 2012 Usually, I've watched the movies that I post recommendations for this podcast. But in this case, the Rotten Tomatoes 0% rating (at least as of the Tuesday after its release) is more than recommendation enough. Â Oh, and should I mention that this was filmed back in 2008? (Although there were apparently reshoots in 2011, the Rotten Tomatoes consensus that the jokes are dated indicates it didn't help much.) Honestly, almost any post-"Nutty Professor" Eddie Murphy comedy seems worthy of this show. Share this post Link to post
Quasar Sniffer 4174 Posted March 23, 2012 Considering the greatness of Murphy's early career and the absolute dreck he's produced in the last 15 or so years, he definitely deserves an episode. Any of his recent films, really. Does 'Vampire in Brooklyn' count as "recent"? Share this post Link to post
sillstaw 414 Posted March 23, 2012 I'd say so. In fact, I should probably amend my statement about just his post-"Nutty Professor" career; after all, let's not forget "Best Defense." Share this post Link to post

liebot 55 Posted February 22, 2015 I've never seen this film, but this description alone has forced me to watch. How could this NOT get made...  Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) is a literary agent who uses his 'gift of gab' to get various book deals, and he isn’t afraid to stretch the truth to get them. While he is trying to get a book deal from a New Age self-help guru named Dr. Sinja, the guru sees through his deceit and agrees to the deal, only to later deliver a five-page book. That night, a Bodhi Tree magically appears in his backyard. Dr. Sinja goes to Jack's house and they both discover that for every word that Jack says, a leaf will fall off of the tree. When the tree runs out of leaves, the tree will die, as will Jack. In time, he finds that even written words count towards his limit; plus anything that happens to the tree will also affect Jack. When Jack tries to cut it down with an axe, an axe wound appears on him. When squirrels climb the tree, it tickles him. When a gardener tries to poison it with DDT, Jack gets high on the fumes and when the gardener tries to water the tree, Jack starts to sweat/perspire profusely. Share this post Link to post
