About this movie

Comedy superstar Eddie Murphy brings down the house in The Distinguished Gentleman, the hilarious comedy about a small-time con man who runs for Congress — and miraculously wins! As Thomas Jefferson Johnson, Murphy hustles his way to the big time and wins an elected seat in the U.S. Congress. But that's only the beginning — with the perks and power of his new position, Johnson cons for cash and doesn't have to break the law to bamboozle the big bucks!
