Can a buddy-cop parody still qualify as a good buddy-cop movie? Showtime struggles to prove it's possible, and with a few solid laughs it almost succeeds. No movie starring Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro could be a total turkey, and their pairing--as (respectively) a brash patrol cop/wannabe actor and a seasoned detective with zero tolerance for showmanship--yields a few choice moments of slick, professional comedy. Still, most of Showtime represents a missed opportunity, squandering Rene Russo's talent as a TV producer who casts Murphy and De Niro in a buddy-cop reality show that turns them into overnight celebrities. In an effort to repeat the modest success of Shanghai Noon, director Tom Dey capitalizes on the casual chemistry of his leads (especially Murphy, who outshines his costars) until parody succumbs to routine action involving big guns and bad guys. With a sharper sense of satire, this passable entertainment could have been a comedy juggernaut. --Jeff Shannon

A few things:
1. Robert DeNiro shines as the gruff officer in this movie.
2. The movie is good when you are in the mood for something light and not too involved (in terms of plot).
3. Eddie Murphy is funny, as ever. It is a testament to this man's versatility that he is a good actor, a comedian, and even does a good job acting like an actor who can't act.
4. Mos Def was even able to redeem himself after his horrible performance in "16 blocks." ... Read More

I would've never put Eddie Murphy and Robert DeNiro together as police partners, but somehow it worked in this comedic film. Murphy's character plays a cop who so badly wants to be an actor, and DeNiro's character plays a cop who is completely disgusted by reality shows with cops on them. He's also a no nonsense cop who will go way out of his way to make sure people are put in jail, and he's not afraid to tell elementary school kids this either. After an incident with DeNiro, the captain makes him ... Read More

Alright Andy, here it is; another review - can you do it? Do you have the integrity to speak honestly about films from an un-formally educated opinion? You watch, you make your thoughts known, no pressure - no pressure at all ... alright, here it goes, you have to psych yourself up. Here it comes: three deep breaths and ... it's SHOWTIME! Wow, that hurt more than I anticipated, especially near the end when it was obvious that I wanted to say more, but repetition just seemed to be the only way out. ... Read More

From DeNiro's opening as a guest Detective at a show and tell in a kids classroom, to William Shatner's cameo as William Shatner who played TJ Hooker the policeman, to Eddie Murphy's double reverse, this is a spoof that actually is real. There are a couple of times you can almost see DeNiro crack a smile at the "inside-ness" of this movie.
I've watched it now over 20 times and the experience is never quite the same as I laugh at different parts that tickle me during each watching.
