This is an Eddie Murphy movie that didn't receive the recognition it deserved. Very underrated movie and is truer to the way American politics actually works.

This is not a comedy, but a reality. Not surprised that this film was not recognized. I guess someone in Congress looked up some dead presidents or made hints that unfortunate things happen. Incredibly relevant in today's situation as well. Many similarities.

30 Years later and it's the perfect picture of DC today. Only Eddie Murphy could make that funny.

This movie should be categorized as "Educational" so people can see why Congress is so close to a snake pit, and it's almost impossible to get anything done..

@@w.everett8860 this is in the context on today barley anyone talks about this movie today and that is a crime in my opinion so that’s why it’s underrated to me. Now yes it made money but it was panned by critics of the day and was pushed back by the often mentioned movies of which are too many to list here but anyone wants to can look up them selves. That year alone had 30 -40 movies that get mentioned all the time and that’s not dig at them but this movie has basically been blackballed that general public forgot it exists and it’s never on TV 📺 . This is why I always make sure to show this movie to those who haven’t seen it so it stays alive. also it’s weird that it never got blu ray release when other movies from that same year that made far less money 💰 did.

Truth about many politicians! Comedy makes us laugh, but deep down, I feel sad looking at the way "things work."

You could argue this is just as a good as Coming To America, very underrated film that has aged very well considering American politics

"Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made," quipped Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), the famous Prussian statesman and architect of German unification.

My father and I used to watch this when I was in middle school, we used to laugh about how ridiculously outlandish these scenarios were. I can still watch it and laugh, but it's an eerie uncomfortable sort of humor. This film has become a dark comedy. I can't believe what has happened.

This was really a great meal movie I really enjoyed it. The ending is hysterical. It really hits the nail on the head politically.

It’s a marvellous film. I think my favourite of all time. The performances are all stellar. Eddie Murphy was never better. It is regarded as a box office failure for Murphy. It should be regarded as his greatest triumph and same for everyone involved. Sonofabitch!

Thank you for putting this up. I went to the movies to see this and didn’t understand a thing. 30 years might make a difference.

One of the best if not THE best satirical comedy I've ever seen. I e viewed this movie before but, had to vie it again. There are so many hysterical scenes but, the hunting scene is fantastic. Of, course, Eddie Murphy is terrific and so are the other familiar actors! Enjoy!

Eddie Murphy's wardrobe is incredible in this....and the politics are accurate

Eddie Murphy is the best!

Lawyers don't need to know the law; they only need to know the loopholes.

My sister and I watched this in the theater when it came out, and enjoyed it. It came out the same time as his more well-known 1992 film Boomerang. Both were playing at our theater, but this one had an earlier showtime.

This is not a comedy, but a reality. Not surprised that this film was not recognized. I guess someone in Congress looked up some dead presidents or made hints that unfortunate things happen. Incredibly relevant in today's situation as well. Many similarities.

Most people see a Comedy in this movie, George Santos and Crooked Donald found a tutorial. 'Congress is going to throw you out!' Eddie: 'Yeah, but I'm gonna run for president'

Great film. Only one point in this film. you would also have to add the press media to the line of crooks to give it more realism. But never the less very enjoyable film. Thank you for posting.
