The "Coming to America" and "Beverly Hills Cop" actor plays a
cook who develops a long-lasting friendship with a young girl he
helps raise after her mother becomes sick.
"It caught me off guard because I don't usually get offered
things like this and I usually don't have an emotional reaction
when I'm reading something," Murphy said at the film's premiere
in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
"You're reading (films) 'Imagine That' or 'Daddy Day Care,' you
don't cry ... You're crying while I'm reading this, I had never
had that experience.
"It was a small movie and I had never done that before ... I
hadn't done a picture in five years so I was like that will be
easy and fun to do."
Murphy, 55, last year received the Mark Twain Prize for American
Humor. "Mr. Church" opens in U.S. cinemas on Sept. 16.
