Holy Man

Holy Man

The only G i know to is "GANGSTER" or "ALI G" And GG is a horse 🐴 i know over the stables which contains foul play! If you decide to watch this then "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND"

First the positives... I agree with some reviewers who thought that the film contained an important message about the distorted values of 21st century society. It also had some laugh out loud moments, and I definitely felt that there was a good story trying to get out. I loved the idea that the major religions were all trying to claim Eddy Murphy's 'G' character, the eponymous 'Holy Man', as their own. Indeed, there were several good metaphors for the ills of modern society. As always, Eddy Murphy did his best with a poor script, but sadly, the two romantic lead characters were totally unbelievable. And in common with a lot of Hollywood's recent output, the whole thing was handled with the subtlety of a bull in a china shop, and felt like it was directed by a committee. Overall... very poor. Avoid!

after making a nice comeback with the "nutty professor" a couple of years ago i thought the real eddie was back along with jeff goldblum, and kelly preston this could have been a hit. the plot is weak and the three main characters are really undeveloped. goldblum isn't convincing as a salesman, and kelly preston is a joke as a tough analyst that can make the tough "axeman" decisions needed to save the network. this is a waste of 2 good actors and an actress.

Although this movie was advertised as a "comedy", and subsequently panned because it was not "chock-full-o-laughs", I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, being that I did not initial expect it to be a yuk-yuk fest. The enigmatic character of "G" held my interest throughout the entire movie, not because he was so "holy", godlike or special, but because in his presence the true nature and intentions of those around him, by comparison, was laid instantly transparent & clear. I enjoyed this movie more because of what it said, than because of what it showed, which is a VASTLY DIFFERENT role for Eddie Murphy, and one which the general public, as well as the critics, were not ready for. I would welcome a "Holy Man II" (he walks off at the end of the movie, to continue his "journey") but I realize this will never happen, due to the movie's lack luster response.

Holy Man, starring Eddie Murphy, Jeff, Goldblum, and Kelly Preston, is an early holiday treat for film-goers like me who enjoy a feel-good movie that supplies hearty laughter and a warm feeling. I went to see Eddie Murphy, and his performance was every bit as good as, perhaps better than I expected.

I will have to say that Jeff Goldblum should not be the main star in anything comedic. OK, maybe the show wasn't trying to be 100% comedy, but where it wasn't funny, it just tried too hard to make you think. But when Jeff tries too hard, he gets annoying. He has one monologue during the movie that just put me to sleep. I will have to say that if they had a different actor than Jeff working with Eddie, it would have been a bit better. But Eddie's part wasn't very well done either. Yes there were some funny parts, but all two of them were shown in the preview, and were unfunny by the time you saw them in the movie It just felt like a cheap movie that wasn't put together very well.

This movie is a complete waste of time. This flick must have been thrown together because somebody was broke and needed some fast jake. Eddie Murphy looks pathetic and almost seems to be laughing internally at how low he has stooped in this role. He looks about as comfortable in the role of "G" as a three pound sausage in a one pound sausage skin. Even more "irritating" is Jeff Goldblum. His character may be the all time worse role for anybody anywhere. (He is worse than that clown in Weekend at Bernie's Part 2). The only saving grace in this movie is the beautiful Kelly Preston. Scientology aside, this lady is the bomb. Unfortunately, she took a role in this dud. I might have to go rent Jerry MaGuire to reinstate my faith in her. Do yourself a big favor and save your $$$ on this one. 2 out of 10 on a charitable day.

This is the second on the "Harry Truman" series that Hollywood has planned for the next ten year season. This time the naive "Harry" turned "holy." walks out the studio throught a double door, instead of a single door. In the third of th "harry series," coming out soon, "Harry" walks under the Triumphal Arch in Paris, just as the Bastile day parade, this time on his honor, is about to start. End of movie.The title role this time will probably go to the ubiquitous Robin Williams (in the movie called "robinette" (french for 'faucet') Thus the story of "holy man" complements the clever first version of behind-the-scenes TV dramas. It's one hell of an acting tour de force for Mr. Murphy et alia. with less and less and less humor to the end. The best ground kissing I've seen since Pope Paul came to Colorado. I give it generous "4" Antonio C. Gonzalez

I really don't know why everyone hated this movie, I found it pleasant and diverting. Murphy actually didn't annoy for once, I kept going to films expecting a hilarious side to him like Beverly Hills Cop, but he kept disappointing me with crap like Golden Child, Boomerang and even The Nutty Professor. But finally a nice, funny, subtle role as G. All the others were great too, except for Jeff Goldblum, he's starting to really come off the screen as a one-note actor. Go see it, especially for Murphy's sake!
