The world is well and finally tired of Eddie Murphy, and so he’s disappeared for awhile. Maybe he hasn’t really vanished and I’ve just unremembered his last film. The fact that I can’t be certain he hasn’t made anything tells me a little something about the quality of his recent work.
Well, he’s back to doing the same boring stuff he’s done before: playing multiple characters. Eddie has written a comedy with his brother Charlie Murphy called Norbit and it’s headed to theaters for DreamWorks under the direction of Dodgeball’s Rawson Marshall Thurber.
Eddie will star as a meek, probably awkward guy forced into marrying an awful woman who looks a lot like him, because she too is played by Eddie Murphy. The unique opportunity here is that at some point Eddie Murphy may have to kiss himself. Later, male geeky Eddie meets the woman of his dreams (not played by Eddie Murphy and probably also not a tranny) and has to figure out a way to dump the monstrous version of himself in a dress that passes for his fiancée.
The thing to really pay attention to here isn’t so much that Eddie Murphy may soon be somewhere on a movie set frenching himself, but that his brother Charlie Murphy is helping him do it. With Dave Chapelle in the looney bin, I guess he has the time.
