"I love this movie. Eddie Murphy shines as the Prince and he and Arsenio Hall make a hilarious team. Having seen this when it was released, I get a major wave of nostalgia watching this now. The sequel that was released in the past few years was definitely for major fans. It was pure fan service nostalgia. But, I recommend this movie to everyone. "

"My uncle’s favorite movie and since my uncle is the coolest guy on earth it gets a high rating from me… despite my issues with it. "

"I adore the cast, the barbershop scenes, the pro working class commentary, McDowell’s, the classic Landis humor, and how this is basically a lewd rom-com with Murphy (and everyone else) just going for it. That opening scene and wedding dance routine are absolutely beautiful. "

"This is a classic. Rewatched it with the family recently and found it even funnier than I had remembered it. And the clever Trading Places cameo was a great touch"

"Funny movie with lots of plot holes and potential problems ( 😆 classic late 80s early 90s movie!). It's very entertaining and cute. "
