After watching all those worthless flicks starring Eddie Murphy, I thought I should re-watch one of his good old classics. And I wasn't disappointed. When he gets some material, the guy can be just hilarious. Dan Aykroyd was a pretty good too. Furthermore, I really enjoyed how they handled the stock-exchange making it all look like ruthless, worthless and also quite ridiculous. Still, even though ... read more

Two wealthy men "Randolph Duke" Ralph Bellamy (Pretty Woman, Oh, God!) and "Mortimer Duke" Don Ameche(Cocoon, Gidget Gets Married) bet one dollar in a "scientific experiment." The experiment: to turn a begger "Billy Ray Valentine," Eddie Murphy (48 Hours,The Nutty Professor), into a successful and wealthy person. They turn a rich person, "Louis Winthorpe III" Dan Aykroyd (Driving Miss Daisy,My Fel... read more

A perfectly crafted movie. There isn't a scene or a line of dialogue unneeded.

That people rate it 6.9 on Listal reveals that few know what real move making is all about.

This movie is a 10 and anyone who knows movie making knows it is. Why do you think it plays heavy rotation on TV screens to this day?

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"This 1983 film re-creates a screwball comedy format and then eliminates everything but the crudest audience-gratification elements; any incursions into the more morally complicated side of the genre are quickly curtailed. - Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader"

My Top 90 Favorite Comedy Movies (90 movies items)

"A story of a poor black man trading places with a rich white man, with the lead roles going to Dan Akroyd & Eddie Murphy. For those of you who haven't yet seen this early 80's classic, based on that information, can you guess who plays which part? Considering that this was one of those early 80's movies that features Jamie Lee Curtis in her prime, I wouldn't mind trading places with either of those guys, just so I'd be able to star in a film with her insanely perfect & fine ass, yo."

"First viewing - March 5th/6th Recommended by phillydude To some it may come as a surprise I hadn't already watched this, but when it came out I was 5 & by the time I reached an age where I could watch it it wasn't really on my radar. Unless of course you count the film's title being dropped in Scream, but even then I wasn't inspired to check it out. Turns out if I had been I might have enjoyed it more. For a so-called comedy I hardly laughed, which is the first strike against the film. Add to "
