One great comedy indeed! Eddie Murphy is hilarious as usual, when he plays Chandler Jarrel (or "Yarrell"), Charles Dance is perfect as Sardo Numspa (or "Brother Numsy") ;-) , the girl is beautiful and even the Tibetanian kid who plays the Golden Child does a great job.
If you're looking for a great laugh combined with a touch of magic and fairy tale, as well as an exciting thriller, then this is the film you're looking for! As a bonus the film takes you on a trip to Nepal which isn't something you see every day.
Eddie Murphy's done a whole bunch of awesome comedies, and this is definitely one of them!

The SFX in this movie are of cause well outdated, but remain entertaining enough. Its a comedy film with a serious religious and spiritual overtone. My wife had never seen the movie, and I end up purchasing it after using a scene in it to explain a situation we were dealing with at the time. I can't say I've ever purchased a film before for this reason, but glad I did, as I can't remember the last time it was aired on television. In the end its a film where good overcomes evil, and a story of sacrifice and love. Eddie Murphy's ability to make a joke out of everything makes it ever more hilarious when he's doing it in a continuos environment of people who take the situation very serious. I wouldn't let my 4 year old watch it, as there may be one or more scenes that would cause her to have nightmares or create fears. However, I'm sure when she's a bit older she will enjoy the message of the film without being affected by the scarier parts.

Childhood memories were better than the real thing
I remember as a child that this film was amazing, hence why I bought it. Unfortunately, 20 years or more on, it didnt have the same effect.

Poor
Murphy sleepwalks his way through this one, re-hashing the "crazy black guy" routine that worked so well in earlier films (Trading Places in particular). Read more
