This was actually my first Eddie Murphy movie. I don't remember how I initially SAW this movie, but I do remember it had a big impact on me. I remember first seeing it as a teen and I also remember it being a lot better than it actually was this time I saw it. Maybe my taste in movies is changing?
Murphy plays Chandler Jarell - a man who locates missing children. While on the hunt for one, he ends up starting the hunt to find another...a GOLDEN CHILD. The story goes that every 3,000 years a PERFECT child is born. It brings compassion to the world. Without this child, there is no compassion in the world and the evil people will gain ground. Yeah, the plot sounds a lot lamer now that I type that out.
Chandler is told he is "The Chosen One" who is predestined to rescue the Golden Child. So begins a search for the missing child as well as a selection of different twists and turns that take Chandler on his own journey of self discovery. This movie is considered an action/comedy. Not appropriate for younger children - mid teens should find it entertaining though.
