Review of Trading Places (1983) by Henry F — 18 Jul 2014
Eddie Murphy and director John Landis collaborated to create one of my favorite comedies of all time "Coming to America", so when I ran across Trading Places on Netflix, I was immediately interested.
Performance-wise this flick is solid, with Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis sharing charming chemistry. The story is intricate and packed tight, definitely being the films strongsuit in my opinion.
The humor doesn't always land, but when it does it generates good laughs. Trading Places is extremely stylish and witty throughout most of its running time.
