Eddie Murphy's and Arsenio Hall's exotic accent comes and goes so frequently, it's embarrassing how lazy this whole film seems to be. It's as if they had one reading of the script and the actors simply couldn't get into character. Tracey Morgan, much the same, just collecting the paycheck.
In short, Murphy (because you never feel he is anything else on screen) is looking for the next to be on his throne. He doesn't think his wonderful daughter can take the throne because only men do. So off goes Murphy only to find out he has a surprise for him to take back to the kingdom. Let Queens' worst be ungrateful in the palace of Zamunda and hilarity ensues. Well, not really.
An embarrassing, needless attempt to portray white privileged males denigrating a young black man in a stereotypical way, a throwaway scene of 2 minutes that made its point loud and clear. Several of the jokes are beyond embarrassing. A new way to say you slep with a man is knowing him "up in the crevice". Groan.
This was the movie that nobody asked to get made. And it feels like it from beginning to end.
