Harlem Nights

Harlem Nights (1989) – You expect a lot more from a cast with this many comedy greats—Pryor is solid in a restrained performance, but Murphy is underwhelming in all facets, especially in terms of the script (which is horrendously on-the-nose and riddled with clichés) and the direction; in short, it’s just not that funny, and it doesn’t have much in the way of class going for it either. 5
