Description:
Comedy superstar Eddie Murphy (BOWFINGER, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR) brings down the house in THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN, the hilarious new comedy hit about a small-time con man who runs for Congress -- and miraculously wins! As Thomas Jeffferson Johnson, Murphy hustles his way to the big time and wins an elected seat in the U.S. Congress. But that's only the beginning -- with the perks and power of his new position, Murphy cons for cash and doesn't have to break the law to bamboozle the big bucks! You can be sure you'll love it when Eddie Murphy goes to Washington!
Amazon.com essential video:
"Mr. Murphy Goes to Washington." As a sly con man from Florida, Thomas Jefferson Johnson (a name he enjoys reciting), Murphy seems just about perfectly cast. And the notion that a crook would be drawn to Capitol Hill like a fly to honey is a cheap, cynical idea that could be milked for a few belly laughs. The chief bad guy, a greedy lobbyist aptly named Dick Dodge (Lane Smith), is a perfect, smarmy target, but the movie loses its cool and turns earnest and patriotic, striking a high-minded attitude that it has scarcely earned. It may have seemed a clever idea hiring a Brit, Jonathan Lynn (Clue) to direct, but he doesn't bring a fresh eye to the material. Sheryl Lee Ralph and Joe Don Baker bat cleanup. --David Chute

The Distinguished Gentleman is one of those movies that was a little too smart for its audience. Because of this, it came and went in theaters. I think its one of Eddie Murphy's better movies.
The story: Eddie Murphy plays Thomas Jefferson Johnson, a small-time crook that runs for Congress and wins. He ran with intentions of getting rich and left with intentions of helping the little people that get ran over by those corporate fat cats in the oval office. This being after he meets up ...

I Think this was a good comedy and it has a good storyline too.
Eddie was at the top of his game and working his way to the top in WASHINGTON. Move over Obama my vote goes to Eddie for PRESIDENT!!
I rate this move a 8 from 1to10!!

Edward Regan "Eddie" Murphy goes to Washington,D.C. in this film directed by Jonathan Lynn(MY COUSIN VINNY). Murphy,over the years,starred in many films produced by Paramount,but this one is a property of Hollywood Pictures,a subsidiary of Buena Vista and a sister of Touchstone. Murphy plays a congressman who goes out of his way to frame a colleague of his who's a devious criminal. Murphy is either mildly vulgar or not vulgar at all unlike when he's on stage. Around the time of this 1992 theatrical ... Read More

Strategically "The Roots of Shallow Thinking" can be traced to the tragedy-of-the-commons, which the late Garrett Hardin ranted so elegantly about. Envy makes the world go round, so e.g. each individual male citizen is mainly concerned with buying a big house so as to win the girl, relative to his near neighbors. WHY SHOULD e.g. a male invest heavily in considering policies which benefit the-pork-barrel-as-a-whole, when those resources might have gone into getting the girl ?
OF COURSE you won't ... Read More
