For starters, get introduced to an all-new Eddie Murphy. His trademark mirth goes missing as you meet the man who cooks, devours literature, paints, dances, and plays jazz music. And the victory of the film lies in the fact that though so many of his facets are revealed, he still continues to remain an enigma.
He begins his journey with the Brody family quietly taking charge of their kitchen with his culinary skills. Though young Charlie resents him initially, he eventually wins her over with his mouth-watering preparations. Not to forget, he also gives her reading tips that she later grows to value. Keeping Marie’s cancer a secret from the young girl, who doesn’t know that her mother is about to die, Church, who has had a troubled childhood, quietly assumes the role of a caring elder in the household.
