sandcrab277 C'mon you can't be serious thinking this is of comedy value...dudely moron is his usual pathetic self...even the women in the cast are taller when he wears elevator shoes...not only does this jerk have to buy all his material he has to pay for the phony laughs as well...the truly funny part of this fiasco was seeing kate "the Body" capshaw in the same scene and bed with dudley doofus...she must have been paid a handsome bonus to appear in this film about non-sense....yes, total disregard for arabs in general ....helen shaver actually had a moment of spark but remained fully clothed for a change...on a scale of bad to worse i'd rate this a minus 20
hugh1971 On a dull evening at home recently I saw this was showing on ITV2, and I settled down to enjoy what I thought would be a reasonably amusing comedy. Oh dear. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were one of the greatest ever comedy acts. Peter Cook was a hilarious solo act. Dudley Moore was a brilliant musician...but NOT a good solo comedy player. All Mr Moore's films seem to have him in an ill fitting three piece suit and horrible seventies hairstyle, running manically around hotel corridors and swearing a lot. This film is no exception. It just didn't have any really funny moments. Mr Murphy (whose scenes were slotted in later) had one or two funny lines but that was about it. If Saddam Hussein got the idea of invading Iraq from this film, that would be a good reason to ban it!
hawkjoel I'm surprised someone would allow this piece of crap to be released after seeing it the first time. Someone saw it, added Eddie Murphy and still released it. What a waste of time, talent, film, air, etc.
anton-6 Almost every one that has been commenting on this film writes that it´s awful and it´s true.THIS FILM IS AWFUL.Eddie Murphy has a few funny lines but that´s all.1/5
