In general, I'm an Eddie Murphy fan. My very 1st VHS tape I ever bought was Beverly Hills Cop (paid $40 for a used copy when the movie came out and still own it to this day). Eddie HAS been in some "stinkers," but I always felt he not only should've won an Oscar for his role in Dream Girls, but I was truly hoping he would've won the Oscar for his portrayal as Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite Is My Name. He was fantastic in it!
