I tried watching “Nacho Libre”, but I just found it lacking (boring ?). I just think he’s missing some component that I find desirable in a comedic actor.
As for Eddie Murphy, I think he’s been stuck in a rut for some time. I think he was better in the ‘80s, and the same goes for Steve Martin, for that matter (although their joint production of “Bowfinger” was pretty good). My personal favorites from childhood are largely gone now, such as Rodney Dangerfield, John Belushi, John Candy, Richard Pryor, Ted Knight, etc. Nobody seems to be able to fill their shoes.
I agree. You just can't beat "Back to School". Also Jon Lovitz in "High School High" was one of my all-time favorites ("My name is Anferny ... A-N-F-E-R-N-Y!") :D
