The biggest problem with this all-star comedy is that it never really gets funny anywhere. And that's a shame, because if you can't get a movie funny despite the presence of Pryor, Murphy, and Foxx, something isn't quite right. Nice for Murphy that he was finally allowed to work with his great idol, but unfortunately it is of little use to the viewer.
