As he teams up again with L.A. cop Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), Foley's investigation leads him to Wonder World, a theme park that is also the front for a major counterfeiting ring. More action and less wit are the trademarks of this film, which features Murphy dishing out his usual wisecracks, but with less flair and freshness than in the original film. Alan Young plays the old man who runs the amusement park, an interesting setting that still adds little to the tired premise. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Critic Reviews

, Globe and Mail
Like most flicks conceived as marketing vehicles, it's hollow at the core.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Gimmicks replace characterization at every turn.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
[A] goofy vanity project.
-
Joe Brown, Washington Post
The most lackluster entry in the franchise.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
One wonders where the Eddie Murphy of 48 Hours and Trading Places has gone. The irreverence is still there, but there's no verve or freshness.
