Advantages: funny

Disadvantages: not as good as Beverly Hill Cop I

Okay, so this wasn't quite as good as the original, it is still a good movie. Like the first movie, you can watch it over and over again and still laugh. It is hilarious and as a movie itself it is pretty good too. The characters have even had a chance to grow from the first film. This is a really funny movie and if you haven't seen it in a while you should treat yourself and do so.

But of course what we expect out of Eddie Murphy in this role is a wise cracking, fast talking, spur of the moment character. And that we get. He does just as many little "skits" in BHC2 as the first and most of them are hilarious. Especially funny is the one in the gun club when he supposedly brings in a bag of " plutonium nitrate highly explosive soundseaking projectlies." The scene works because we really don't know what all that jargon is and neither does the lady behind the desk. Murphy is the master of smart ass comedy. He has an impeccable sense of comedic timing and he plays the crowd at the theater like a drum. We are under his spell and we love it. BHC2 is comedy at its finest and there is no reason for you not to enjoy this film unless you are just not a fan of Murphy. There were few films in the 80's that Murphy failed in, this is not one of them. True hilarity from beginning to end.
