Leave your thoughts about Harlem Nights.
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThe movie is a whirlingly divergent romp, blending serious violence with outrageous comedy, but it has the feel of oral history, of lives and times rescued from oblivion. |
| Associated PressDolores BarclayMurphy's writing is about as snappy as a Sunday school lesson. The constant obscenities become a distraction and an eventual turnoff, and seem to be used when the writer and director can't invent something more creative. |
| Apollo GuideCatherine CantieriThough it's not easy to watch, Harlem Nights is gorgeous to look at. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertPeople may go to see Eddie Murphy once, twice, three or even six times in disposable movies like Harlem Nights, but if he wants to realize his potential he needs to work with a better writer and director than himself. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrHarlem Nights isn't the embarrassing vanity production it might have been, there's still not a lot to be said for it. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkHarlem Nights is not the disaster some people might have been expecting. Mr. Murphy has appeared in far worse films written and directed by people much more experienced. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonEddie Murphy's directorial work is amateurish at best. And as a performer he looks as if he is in agony, as if his mother made him stand in front of the camera for punishment. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe plot exposition gets laborious in spots, the period flavor is only occasional and approximate, and the direction tends to be clunky, yet the strong secondary cast helps to take up some of the slack. |
| Washington PostDesson HoweUnfortunately, entertainer-for-life Murphy, directing for the first time, seems to have spent his energies on topping the bill rather than on the bill itself. |
| User ReviewAmy WPUT YO BLIND ASS IN THE CAR... I GET MY MOUTH ALL SET FOR SOME ORANGE JUICE AND IT AINT NOTHIN BUT A SWALLOW... HAHAHA |
