Can't believe the scores I'm seeing for this film. It's a cult classic. Perfect marriage of the comedy from legends at their peak, with a solid heist plot. Do yourself a favor and watch this!

It is one of the best comedy movies ever released. Eddie Murphy was a great actor. I like the city buildings, streets and cars in the movie. I thought it was a good comedy with a good script and a funny story.

This film may have been panned by critics, but I believe those critics lacked any relatability to the film. The legendary comics a part of this film were hilarious throughout, the setting and cinematography were well chosen, but there is a lackluster story to push through. Overall, this film is extremely funny and a joy to watch.

Why oh why oh why is this movie rated so low by the 'experts' ?? I understand that a number of people wont like this movie, like people who watch gone with the wind for 10,000th time on Saturday night. People like my mother who wont find the movie all that amusing because there were no real romantic scenes. Or people like my 5th grade teacher who hated cursing. Yeah fair enough they may hate it - but their views are not the be all and end all view of this movie. I have watched this movie several times and enjoyed it thoroughly. I laughed all the way thru. I loved the chemistry between the characters i thought the movie was brilliant. Sorry experts, you are Wrong.

As a comedy, this movie doesn't really work, but as a rather dark gangster drama with some funny bits thrown in, Harlem Nights is a film that was well ahead of its time. If it were made today, it may of had a different reception. The ending could have been stronger, but I enjoyed the film and see it as a precursor to the type of style adopted by films like Pulp Fiction and shows like The Sopranos.
