- Where Murphy goes to town is with Rasputia, and even the act of wearing what looks like seven layers of flesh makeup doesn't stop him from delivering some of his patented drop-dead expressions

  Not as funny as it could have been
  
  This film could have been a lot better than it was. Good comedy could have been written around this storyline but it fell short of our expectations.
