In the beginning of Eddie Murphy's career he did stand-up, acted in good movies (Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop, Switching Places, etc.) and even made a song produced by Rick James.
Now he stars in mediocre films where he plays all three main roles, with at least one of those roles involving Eddie Murphy dressing up and pretending to be an overweight black woman (Dr. Doolittle, Norbit, etc.).
What caused this change, and when did it happen?

When he started ripping on Homosexuals after the 80's AIDS scare...wrong people to rip on Eddie, they are in most of the decision making positions in Hollywood, so anyone with the real money to make the good movies now won't back anything he does, so he makes rubbish movies.
I agree with the Hollywood folk! And I agree with you, he hasn't made a watchable movie for years.

When after a string of box office stinkers, The Nutty Professor became a hit and made him millions. Now every Black stand-up comedian has to do at least one movie dressed up in drag.

I think that would be when Coming to America came out..I think maybe he figured he was so funny, that 5 of him in one movie would be better than 1

Maybe he has repressed psychological issues? Idk, but I am sick and tired of that crap myself and I don't think it's funny. You're right! what happened to him being funny? He said he would never do stand up again b/c it would be going backwards. But I think it could only help his career. Or doing more serious roles.
