Eddie Murphy goes for Oscar (and fails according to the reviews)

[StraxStrax]

“Mr. Church” tells the story of a unique friendship that develops when a little girl and her dying mother retain the services of a talented cook – Henry Joseph Church. What begins as a six month arrangement instead spans fifteen years, and creates a family bond that lasts forever.




The reviews

"Mr. Church wastes a wonderful dramatic turn by Eddie Murphy on storytelling so stale you could chip a tooth on it."

"More galling than the film's litany of melodramatic banalities is its regressive view of race relations."

"Beresford has made another film in which a saintly black servant teaches the white folks how to live."

"This mirthless Eddie Murphy vehicle from the director of 'Driving Miss Daisy' is rife with hoary 'magical negro' stereotypes"
