Seeing his NUTTY PROFESSOR as a kid remains one of my earliest memories of dying of laughter in a movie theater, and I’ve long held the belief that, at his prime, he was easily one of the greatest standups of all time (in terms of broad appeal, not insight or intensity). Still, I can separate my memory of Eddie at his peak with the reality of current Eddie, who is thoroughly content to sleepwalk through high-concept, low-brow family films like MEET DAVE, IMAGINE THAT, and A THOUSAND WORDS.
