Critic Reviews
Murphy shows an easy versatility, going for guffaws one minute and pulling off a grinner the next. [04 Dec 1992]
While the result is inevitably middle of the road, it still manages to be the funniest picture Murphy has made in quite some time. [04 Dec 1992]
With a refreshing absence of earnestness, the movie mainly spins out many variations on a theme: Easy Street begins and ends on Capitol Hill. [03 Dec 1992]
The film is content to remain at the level of the mildly entertaining, with no real surprises and not much sass. [04 Dec 1992]
It has a few good laughs in it thanks to Murphy, but mainly depends for its appeal on an uncomfortable manipulation of racial stereotypes. [04 Dec 1992]
The Distinguished Gentleman isn't - distinguished, that is - but it's a notable cut above Eddie Murphy's recent ventures. [04 Dec 1992]
Despite Murphy's campaigning, Gentleman deserves a veto. [04 Dec 1992]
It's last in laughs, last in drama but first in Murphy ego, as he gives a performance that everybody has seen before, only louder. [04 Dec 1992]
The Distinguished Gentleman isn't much of a movie - it's a mess, in fact. [04 Dec 1992]
