The Distinguished Gentleman Full Film - Eddie Murphy (1992 )

In the conniving world of politics, even a professional shyster like Thomas Jefferson Johnson (Eddie Murphy) can find himself outmatched. After using name recognition to get elected, Johnson enjoys many of the same financial perks as other politicians. However, while investigating the connection between electric companies and cancer in young children, he unexpectedly develops a conscience. Unfortunately, fellow Congressman Dick Dodge (Lane Smith) isn't about to let him rock the boat.

This is not a comedy, but a reality. Not surprised that this film was not recognized. I guess someone in Congress looked up some dead presidents or made hints that unfortunate things happen. Incredibly relevant in today's situation as well. Many similarities.

[@patricklockerby4308]

This is one of the best documentaries about US politics ever made.

[@suze816]

This movie should be categorized as "Educational" so people can see why Congress is so close to a snake pit, and it's almost impossible to get anything done.. But I suppose it hits a little too close to home for that.. Kudos to Eddie Murphy for making it so enjoyable to watch, laugh, and learn from...

[@acejojo]

Highly underrated movie 🎥 & pretty much explains the foolishness of Politics all while making us laugh!

[@UseCaut1on]

It made $86M worldwide, and it was made in 1992. How is it at all 'underrated'? I apologize, but 'underrated' is everywhere these days. It's like a bad verbal tick.

[@acejojo]

@@UseCaut1on this is in the context on today barley anyone talks about this movie today and that is a crime in my opinion so that’s why it’s underrated to me. Now yes it made money but it was panned by critics of the day and was pushed back by the often mentioned movies of which are too many to list here but anyone wants to can look up them selves. That year alone had 30 -40 movies that get mentioned all the time and that’s not dig at them but this movie has basically been blackballed that general public forgot it exists and it’s never on TV 📺 . This is why I always make sure to show this movie to those who haven’t seen it so it stays alive. also it’s weird that it never got blu ray release when other movies from that same year that made far less money 💰 did.

[@UseCaut1on]

I'd call that controversial as opposed to underrated, but that's just me. Still a great movie, anyone who has an issue with it is taking both movies and politics too seriously.
