Laura Prudom: 'American Idol' Recap: The Final Three…
With all the drama that's going on in his personal life now, let's not forget that when Eddie Murphy is on the big screen, he's there to entertain, and it's nice to him return to form in "Shrek The Third". After being villafied by the media for his performance in "Norbit", which may have cost him winning an Oscar for "Dreamgirls", Murphy is back to playing it safe as Donkey in the third film with Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas. Between the three Shrek films, Daddy Day Care, both Doctor Dolittle films, and Mulan, Murphy has been great in making family themed films. Although "Norbit" was domestically profitable with $95 million, it still got bad press from his own peers. Despite that, Murphy is still a money maker in Hollywood, and second behind Will Smith in terms of African American leading actors who can sell worldwide.
In "Shrek The Third", which opens on May 18th, Murphy's character, Donkey, once again, sides along with Shrek and Puss In Boots in their quest to regain the throne of Far Far Away after jilted Prince Charming takes Fiona hostage and takes over the kingdom. Joining the group this time is Justin Timberlake as Fiona's rebellious cousin, Artie (as in Arthur of Camelot). Prepare for another family filled adventure.

I think that Eddie Murphy is one of the funniest guys that I have ever watched on television I have laughed so hard that I was crying. I have watch just about all of his movies I really liked the one called vampire in Brooklin but a lot of people said that it wasn't all that good but I just could not get enough of it. And the Haunted Mansion it was a gas and Norbit that was to much oh yes, the Nutty professors they were the whip I just love Eddie Murphy and I just can't say enough about all the years that he has entertain me and my family and I just want to say Thanks because you are doing a great job God bless you.

I love Eddie Murphy. I think Norbett was a true and funny story. Eddie just had guts to put it on film. People in our society shun fat people and Eddie was just showing America how they act. My best to Eddie.

#3 stop player hatin'.
I loved the first 2 shrek movies. My daughter(4) wathes the her shrek disks over and over and over, with me right next to her, we never get tired of it. Unfortunately, we were not able to get tickets to go see shrek the third due to crowdedness. We will wait until the excitement wears down.

Although I am not into cartoons and have not seen either of the previous "Shreks", I plan to treat a couple of youngsters to this highly-publicized movie.

In my opinion Eddie is a talented man and it would be nice to see him acting in projects with the integrity of "Coming to America". His talent is undeniable and holding out for good projects would not be a bad career move.
