For this weeks post I will be discussing my favorite Eddie Murphy films. Eddie Murphy is one of my favorite actor’s/comedians! the characters that he creates leave a long lasting impression of you after you are done watching them and you will find yourself quoting them in normal life situations. Well, at least I do lol. There are so many movies that are my favorite and I could go on and on about which ones but I will just highlight a few for you. Aside from the ones that I mention I recommend looking up other ones and watching them.

The Nutty Professor: These movies will have me cracking up the entire time, you would think something was wrong with me lol. If you have seen the first one then you know about the first family dinner scene. I’m sure if you YouTube it it will be there, probably, broken up into parts. Underneath all the funny parts I think that this film represents how people have deep rooted insecurities and will go to drastic measures to be the person that they long to be. Everyone has a “Buddy Love” of their own on the inside, it’s just knowing that you cannot let him take over your life because you can hurt not only yourself but the ones you love. If you have no idea what I am talking about watch the movie lol. It is hilarious that Murphy plays almost all of the family members who have all these different personalities. It makes the experience all that more to enjoy, especially when watching them for the first time. The second one is very funny as well but the first will always be my favorite.

Coming To America: This movie is always shown on TV and even though I have seen it a million times I still will watch it and laugh. The plot of the story has not necessarily never been done before but it is still lighthearted and laugh out loud funny when you watch it, which is refreshing. The fact that Murphy and his co-star Arsenio Hall play nobility from Africa and are completely ignorant to the American Lifestyle adds something to the film that grabs your attention and makes you want to finish it. I would totally watch this if you have not already. Murphy also plays a few other characters beside his lead role, so does Arsenio Hall.

Norbit: Anytime that Eddie Murphy comes up in conversation this movie always seems to be shouted out as their favorite with him in it lol. The first time I saw it I laughed so much that it hurt. Rasputia is one of the most hilarious and disturbing characters I think he has ever played lol. I will say that she has tremendous confidence in herself which can be seen as border line denial when it comes to her weight, and sadly that makes it all the more funny lol. As I’m writing this I actually want to watch the movie now, it has been a long time since I have seen it. I am about to look it up right now:) lol. See it if you haven’t already!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post! Have a good rest of your week!
