The Haunted Mansion (DVD)

As Eddie Murphy starts to trickle down this well travelled road of family entertainment films, he falls upon this kind of all round family ghoulie story. This film has the Disney stamp all over it, so you can be sure it is jam packed with what I call kiddie content. Which can transpire as god damn boring/tedious to the adult audience. Meet Jim Evers(Eddie Murphy) Who plays a workaholic estate agent with a definate gift for the gab. Although not to be knocked as this has made him very successful, but not very on the homefront.

Curlers prominent, hair net in place, my mother always told me to listen to Johnny Vaughan (that may have been before they made "Passport to Paradise" or whatever it was called). Well, actually, she didn?t but after reading his critical review of this Eddie Murphy vehicle then maybe I should have.
