A great cast full of amazing comics, solid writing, and fun situations detailing the changing of the guard in NYC's criminal past make this movie one of my favorites. It isn't "laugh a minute" and isn't supposed to be, but it keeps a light-hearted spirit and a general good nature even in it's darkest moments.
The cast is brilliant and excellent at keeping the movie well-paced and engaging, and the characters are fleshed out just enough for the comedy to shine through.
Completely entertaining and features Eddie Murphy in his prime (although it's certainly a bit of Eddie patting himself on the back for being so damned charming and brilliant as writer, director and star, but he's honestly done a great job. The man knows funny.)
In a word: fun.
