Eddie Murphy blazed a trail to the top of the Hollywood landscape with several iconic roles, only to stumble with a bloated series of ill-fated comedies.

More than 30 years later, people are still referencing McDowell's, Soul Glo, Sexual Chocolate, and King Jaffe Joffer ( [James Earl Jones](https://ew.com/person/james-earl-jones/)) — all of which are a remarkable testament to the film's impact. It was a lesson that Murphy failed to apply in future endeavors, but here it all comes together to create a touching comedy where [EW's critic said](https://ew.com/article/1996/06/28/nutty-professor-2/) "you can feel Murphy rediscovering his joy as a performer." [Halle Berry](https://ew.com/person/halle-berry/) in her breakthrough role — but it's refreshing to see him act outside of instigating the action. [Arsenio Hall](https://ew.com/person/arsenio-hall/) as his loyal sidekick Semmi (and several other characters as well), but it's the world-building that really lifts the film over the top. [Reginald Hudlin](https://ew.com/person/reginald-hudlin/)-directed film portrayed Black glamor as a reality — not as some aspirational goal the characters were seeking. Dolittle](https://ew.com/creative-work/dr-dolittle/), a Murphy flick based on the children's book series. [Mulan](https://ew.com/creative-work/mulan/) is an undeniable highlight. For a film that would see several cast changes (Chris Farley was the original Shrek, Janeane Garofalo was initially Fiona), Murphy was there from the start. Murphy seems to be having a blast, and he even got to sing in the movie (unfortunately, his song was cut, but his voice is still a steady vehicle for starpower here). [Eddie Murphy](https://ew.com/person/eddie-murphy/) is a legend in several fields. And who can forget the sheer musical power of " [Boogie in Your Butt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-peWHO6pRnQ)?" Somehow, this tepid film spawned a three-movie franchise (minus Murphy).
