Holy Man

A cynical TV executive is shocked when a charismatic, possibly enlightened stranger, known only as 'Ricky' or 'Holy Man,' begins to disrupt his carefully controlled life. The stranger's seemingly nonsensical advice and behavior begin to have a profound, and sometimes hilarious, effect on everyone around him, leading the executive to question his own values and the superficiality of his career.

Holy Man was poorly received by critics and audiences alike, widely regarded as a disjointed and unfocused comedy with a weak script and uninspired performances, particularly from Eddie Murphy in a role that failed to resonate.

• The film suffers from a muddled plot and a lack of genuine humor.
• Eddie Murphy's performance is seen as uninspired and out of sync with the comedic material.
