This is like a bargain basement version of Ocean's Eleven - with more comedic elements (and less A-list actors). There were a few solid laughs, decent characters and a relevant story line - but overall, a completely average, forgettable film. |

Marking a return to form for Eddie Murphy, as well as boasting some delicious turns from Alan Alda and Gabourey Sidibe, 'Tower Heist' is clever, if not exactly revolutionary, entertainment. |

When The Tower building manager, Josh Kovaks, discovered one of his close tenants arrested by FBI for fraud and another one as victim, he manages to build a team that would work for their payback.
***
I find this movie really good because for the first time, a comedy-drama was executed well. The story line is unpredictable with dialogues delivering lots of laughs and witty lines. Plus, scenes are mostly original. The actors, I couldn't ask for more, they are all good: Stiller; Peña; Affleck; and Sidibe.
Nice job guys! |

This was suppose to be Eddie Murphy's breakout role from all those crappy kid friendly movies he's been putting out these past couple years so I was really hoping if the movie sucked at least I'd find him hilarious but I didn't find Murphy to be all that funny & The thing that truly suprised me was that I didn't find Ben Stiller annoying at all like I usually do in his movies.Alan Alda was GREAT as the villain & the rest of the cast was pretty good as well.Even though it was a good movie that I liked way more then I thought I would & it had me hooked almost from the beginning its not a movie I'd probably watch again |

Movie Review of Tower Heist |
|
Remember the days when a movie with Eddie Murphy in it was guaranteed to be hysterical? I know, it's been awhile. Aside from his 'Beverly Hills Cop' days, I feel safe saying that the last thing he was in that made me really laugh out loud was "Shrek"---there are a lot of "Donkey" quotes going on in my house, especially when someone mentions waffles or parfaits. Sadly, that little gem was followed by 'Daddy Day Care', and more disturbingly, 'Norbit', which I still haven't quite forgiven him for. I know he redeemed himself slightly in his 'Dreamgirls' role, but MY dream has been to see him get back to business and make me laugh. Well, welcome back Mr. Murphy---it's nice to see you again.
THE GOOD: The movie 'Tower Heist' is kind of like a modern day Robin Hood, only instead of taking dow... |
