Yes I know it doesn't quite fit, but I think it's worth the wordplay - also I'm certain anyone understands this and how it is meant. It was quite a while since I saw this the first time ... and I only had seen the dubbed version of this. Considering the comedy talent at hand here or how they would develop ... the decline of Eddit Murphy (at least comercially speaking), would bring the Rise of Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence.

This romantic comedy might not have dated well in a more PC culture that we live in now. There are quite a few cringeworthy moments, most involving humor against homosexuals. One thing is for sure, if you are easily offended, this will not do anything for you. One may argue that since the characters are flawed they have certain backwards thinking antics ... Having said all that, if you can go through that all, the movie is quite funny. Not to mention it was my first actual experience of Halle Berry. Where I really noticed her ... but like Eddies character it wasn't apparent from the start ... I got fooled too. Sometimes you don't see the thing that is in front of you ... maybe others were aware of it more than I was back then. They surely are aware of her now ...
