Man, this type of role is really out of pocket for Eddie Murphy. He isn't funny, and he isn't particularly interesting.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
This is the film is not only the comeback that Eddie Murphy needed but the comeback he deserved.

Rendy Reviews
The problem is that the character is so underwritten that Murphy has almost nothing to do other than look restrained and dignified.

The Public (Buffalo)
Somehow Murphy manages to lift his dignified, all-knowing servant character off the page, giving a meticulously composed performance in a vehicle that can't help but feel superficially repackaged.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/4 --
Murphy is fine as the title character, although his performance consists mostly of suppressing all of his usual shtick. He certainly doesn't endow Mr. Church with any unexpected depths. But then neither does the script.

Washington Post
It's repugnant for its dehumanizing view (however unintentionally so) of a black man, and repugnant for its emptying-out of one of the great black performers of the time into a sanitized symbol of acceptable blackness.

New Yorker
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Murphy's low-key but affecting performance is filled with loaded and loving glances. And the restraint becomes the 55-year-old star. If only the film were better.

In 1965 Los Angeles, cancer-stricken Marie (Natascha McElhone) and her ten-year-old daughter Charlotte are shocked to learn that one of Marie's former lovers has hired a black cook named Mr. Church (Eddie Murphy) to take care of them during her illness. Over the course of 15 years, Mr. Church becomes a father figure to Charlotte (played as an adult by Britt Robertson), and he even takes her in when she gets pregnant from a one-night stand. Directed by Bruce Beresford (DRIVING MISS DAISY).
