It's damn funny. I think it's one of his better films, in fact. He never was making art house movies, LOL. As 80s Eddie Murphy comedies go, this one was one of the better ones, to me.

He started 'going downhill', for me, when he just started making those Disney-like kiddie films all the time.

He came back big time in "Dolemite is My Name" a couple of years ago. That was such a pleasant surprise of a movie. I found it hysterical, and I was genuinely touched by it. Not since "Ed Wood" had a movie so reminded me how admirable it is for anyone to just make ANY movie.

As for "Harlem Nights", it's not just Eddie, it's a cast of absolute legends. It is to 70s-80s urban comedies what "The Expendables" was to 80s action flicks.
