Product Description

Amazon.ca

In this crowd-pleasing 1983 comedy of high finance about a homeless con artist who becomes a Wall Street robber baron, Eddie Murphy consolidated the success of his startling debut in the previous year's 48 Hours and polished his slick-winner persona. The turnabout begins with an argument between super-rich siblings, played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche: Are captains of industry, they wonder, born or made? To settle the issue, the meanies construct a cruel experiment in social Darwinism. Preppie commodities trader Dan Aykroyd (perfectly cast) is stripped of all his worldly goods and expelled from the firm, and Murphy's smelly derelict is appointed to take his place, graduating to tailored suits and a world-class harem in record time. Eventually the two men team up to teach the nasty old manipulators a lesson, cornering the market in frozen orange juice futures in the process. Director John Landis (The Blues Brothers) doesn't have the world's lightest touch, but he hits most of the jokes hard and quite a few of them pay off. Trading Places is also a landmark film for fans of Jamie Lee Curtis. --David Chute

Goofy comedy, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I'd class it as bubble gum for the brain. No elaborate deep thought required.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great movie that deserves to be watched Sep 5 2002
By A Customer
Format:DVD
This is a timeless classic that I have to watch at least once a year. I've been waiting a long time to get hold of this movie on DVD. I hope that they put in special features and the documentary that they made on making the film. This is really Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis at their best. Great supporting actors also. I rate this movie a A+++++

4.0 out of 5 stars An Early Gem From Murphy
This was one of Murphy's first movies. From back in his SNL days. He's hilarious and so are Ackroyd, Curtis and Denholm Elliot from the Indiana Jones flicks. Read more
