Murphy plays an enlightened eccentric named "G" (for "guru" or "God"?) who rises to national celebrity when he's enlisted to host a TV shopping network. Jeff Goldblum and Kelly Preston play the show's producer and marketer, respectively, and their formulaic romance provides the movie's lackluster subplot. With skyrocketing ratings and a flurry of cameos by celebrity hucksters (Morgan Fairchild, Florence Henderson, Dan Marino, and even James Brown), G delivers preachy platitudes urging America to stop buying and embrace the finer values of life and love (a hollow message coming from Disney, the most conspicuously commercial of all major Hollywood studios). To its credit, Holy Man occasionally achieves a delicate balance of comedy and commentary, and receptive viewers will be grateful, at a time when crude comedies rule the box office, that someone bothered to try. For that reason, this flawed movie deserves to be seen. --Jeff Shannon

Talent is the key issue here!

I'm writting this review for one simple reason, I was astounded to see it has a measly 3 star rating. Thats totally absurd. Its a definite 4 star movie and that's only because I only give 5 stars to the most incredible flicks. I'm giving 5 here because of all the idiots who slandered this really entertaining movie. One key thing that makes a movie a 4 or 5 star movie to me is if it is rewatchable or not. I've seen this one about 5 times and enjoy it a lot. The key here is Eddie Murphy is so talented, he has more than enough depth to do so well in parts like this where he isnt trying to crack you up by being a total baffoon, but rather he's entertaining you with a great character, made so believeable. It's amazing how well he does playing multiple characters in other movies, something few can do any better than he does. But some shallow minds can't seem to realize this is called talent. some people have a lot of it, like Steve Martin for example. He makes a great movie like "Shopgirl" and doesnt have to be a funny man throughout the movie, he is enjoyable just because he is versatile, and TALENTED. ofcourse Clair Danes is a show stealer and truly deserves being the center of the movie and boy does she ever play it perfectly,, maybe I should go leave a review for that one too if it isn't already rated at 5 stars. anyway, to make one last point here, this is a movie you add to your collection if you enjoy pure entertainment and love to watch fun unique movies. If you are a one track mind kind of person, just slander the movie like all the other small minds seem to be doing, but to intelligent people everywhere, this is a fun movie worth buying, and watching many times to come! Enjoy!

I love all .. unconditionally

Except for this movie. It was awful.

I love Eddie Murphy. But in this movie he just wasn't believable. The real Eddir Murphy would not be caught dead in those hideous robes. And that fake mustache was the worst. I hated it.

The only thing holy about this movie was the stink it gave off. I'm only giving it five stars because I had a dream that someday I was going marry Eddie Murphy and I didn;t want him to see these reviews and be angry at me and then we might get divorced and he'd make me return all teh wedding gifts, including that salad dryer I liked so much.

The movie is great for the whole family

"Holy Man" is a comedy about a home shopping channel executive named Ricky (Jeff Goldblum) whose sales have not seen an increase in over a year. A marketing consultant (Kelly Preston) and Ricky end up meeting a very unusual person named G (Eddie Murphy) who just might be able to help them.

G is earthy, philosophical, mystical and non-materialistic. He is a man on a spiritual quest but because is willing to help others he agrees to become a shopping channel celebrity. Along the way, G teaches Ricky, as well as the shoppers, a few things about living a more fulfilling life. Ricky and G are an odd match and their interactions are funny.

With its great acting and an amusing story "Holy Man" should appeal to most audiences. The film is great for the whole family and doesn't have anything most people would find objectionable. "Holy Man" is a fun movie that will probably make you laugh at least a few times.
