The Distinguished Gentleman puts Eddie Murphy in Congress as a small time con man who runs for the seat, wins it, and starts working the perks.
He plays Thomas Jefferson Johnson, and the joke the film keeps landing is that once he is inside, the legal ways to take money beat anything he ran on the street.
Good to know
Reviewers keep returning to the same two points: the machinery it satirises has not aged, and it gets there without nudity or bad language.
On the disc
A no frills release. Buyers note it carries no extras, and that the film has never had a Blu-ray edition, so this is the format there is.
