    "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

    4 out of 5 stars Mr. Murphy goes to Washington!   April 14, 2008
    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 release,Murphy began to clean his image,in the aspect of film roles. He remains profane on the stage today because fans expect that of him.

    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 find this deep analysis in the film, yet as a thought experiment everyone involved in the making of the film might have read these words each day before filming, this message seems "baked into" the film, so much better than being explicitly spelled out. The "baked in" message is so important - pure democracy being as they say "two wolves and a sheep deciding about lunch".

    I really enjoyed this movie again. After having viewed it several times in the passed I decided that it must be in my collection. Charlton Francisco

    My husband and I had seen this movie several time on our TV but our children missed it. We wanted to purchase a copy as a Christmas gift. Finding one in the used sections of various stores was impossible, so I went online and learned it was available from [...]. I ordered it and within three days in was in my hands! Not only was it a swift delivery but the item was new, still in its sealed package. I would use this method of ordering again.
