Format:DVD
The concept of the film is good. A con artist, Murphy decides to become a United States congressman and play the game, only to find out that the issues involved are not a game. He becomes a person who cares and make things right. Eddie Murphy was nicely placed as he handles the entire transformation remarkably well.
If you are interested in politics and like genuine comedy, you won't be disappointed.

Format:DVD
Murphy plays a charming con man who swindles his way into Congress through voter inattention -- they think he's the incumbent, who is actually deceased. What starts as a game to merely soak the job for all it's worth turns into an unlikely effort to make a real difference. Several scenes are laugh-out-loud, particularly early on. Though a shade overlong, the story is engaging enough to keep the viewer's attention, and it serves up some nice potshots at how bloated and self-serving government has become.

Format:VHS Tape
Distinguished Gentleman is a film comparable to tading places but without the corny ending. This film showsa up U.S politics in a startling way. The serious message of the film is greatly set aside with a lot of humur arising from Murphy. A nice movie.
