What this film suffers from is lack of fun. Full Review

Scoring high marks alternatively for repellent dialogue, staging and characterizations as well as deadly boredom, Harlem Nights may well be the worst major movie of 1989. Full Review

If he's going to confine himself to bad movies like "Harlem Nights," it's probably better that he writes and directs them himself. Full Review

The plot exposition gets laborious in spots, the period flavor is only occasional and approximate, and the direction tends to be clunky, yet the strong secondary cast helps to take up some of the slack. Full Review

Harlem Nights offers a depressing answer to that not entirely pressing question, "Will success spoil Eddie Murphy?" It looks as if it has. Full Review
TIME Magazine

Rating: 2/5 -- "Harlem Nights" is billed as an action-comedy, but it doesn't blend the two very smoothly. Full Review

Rating: 1/4 -- ''Harlem Nights,'' it's worth remembering, is a comedy, though as the body count piles up and entire reels go by without a joke in sight, it's also easy to forget. Full Review

Product Description:

Sugar Ray (Richard Pryor) became Quick's (Eddie Murphy) adopted father when an adolescent Quick saved his life. More than two decades later, in 1938, Ray runs the most popular club in Harlem, with Quick as his right hand man. Before long, Bugsy, a white mobster (Michael Lerner) comes knocking for a piece of the club's action in the form of weekly protection money, with a crooked cop (Danny Aiello) as the muscle and a dangerous woman (Jasmine Guy) as the bait. But by fixing a big boxing match, Ray and Quick just may be able to thwart Bugsy's plan and make off with a wad of his cash in the process. Murphy wrote and directed.

Harlem Nights- Truly Funny! Movie Lover: from BRONX, NY US -- January, 17, 2018

Harlem Nights marked Eddie Murphy's directorial debut! This film has practically become a favorite among Eddie's loyal fans! The film's cast is its biggest strength with Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Jasmine Guy, Danny Aiello and many others! Even Boxing great Roberto Duran has a cameo! Harlem Nights is a film that you can watch over and over again and not get tired of it! A close friend watches this film on his birthday every year! As far as comedy films are concerned, Harlem Nights is right up there with the best!


Harlem Nights- Funny as Hell! Movie Lover: from BRONX, NY US -- January, 14, 2018

Harlem Nights marked Eddie Murphy's directorial debut! Eddie does a good job also in giving the whole cast a lot of moments to shine! Speaking of the cast, you cannot do any wrong with the likes of Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Jasmine Guy and Danny Aiello! This film is naturally funny and I guarantee as you watch it, you will be laughing too! I remember viewing this film in 1989 at a movie theater and the audience could not stop talking about it! Harlem Nights is a personal favorite of mine and i hope you will enjoy it just as much!
