My friends and I have a longstanding argument to try and name the three best Eddie Murphy movies.
And shucks, wouldn;t you know it, we can all only come up with two: 48 Hours and Trading Places. Afer that, there's a huge falloff and no one can come up with a film that gets more than a star and a half.
We finally decided that this film would merit the third spot. But only because it had Robert DeNiro in it, not because of its quality.
Anyway, I thought it was funny the way Eddie Murphy stormed out of the Oscars after he didn't win for Showgirls. It was very reminiscent of the way I leave the theatre after about 30 minutes of most of his films.
God Bless You Eddie!

I found this movie to be simply fantastic! Personally I think I am a very very tough critic....Am shocked that so many find the film so-so...... De Niro was his same ole same ole outstanding. Eddie Murphy was sometimes a little wierd, but overall as the sidekick was excellent. Rene Russo had a few zzzzzzzzzoring sceens, but again like all other cast, really made the film enjoyable, START TO FINISH!!!!!!!!!!! I give it a solid 8 outta 10, Heck I even bought the soundtrack I like it so much....Cheers Vintage Man in California

Showtime brings to the screen the pairing up of two police officers recruited to take part in a reality, Cops-like, TV show.
Robert De Niro, Eddie Murphy, Rene Russo, and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows, allowing for a highly entertaining movie.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all very good.
In short, though not a masterpiece it is definitely a movie worth watching, as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment.

Director Tom Dey evidences with SHOWTIME that he must have passed the Cinematic Academy's Buddy Cop 101, as this movie is a replay of so many movies, they're almost interchangeable. Robert DeNiro, seeming to enjoy doing comedy, stars as a seasoned veteran who after destroying a tv camera, is faced with a 10 million dollar lawsuit OR...agreeing to participate in a reality tv show partnered with somewhat inept patrolman Eddie Murphy. Rene Russo fills in the role of the aggressive producer who helms the series, which becomes a hit, at DeNiro's chagrin. The movie's plot involves a mean and nasty gunrunner and it's up to our heroic pair to get him off the streets.
As a comedy, there have been funnier buddy cop movies; as an action drama, it has its fair share of exciting chases and some explosive action, climaxing in a swimming pool disaster.
It's certainly not a high point in either actor's career, but there's some fun in watching two talented actors try and make a movie better than it really is.

Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro do a thoroughly enjoyable job as two buddy cops on the streets of L.A. Trey (Murphy) is the cop-in-training who wants to be a real cop...on TV of course. While De Niro plays Mitch, a tough, no-frills cop who doesn't take much off of anybody. In this hilarious comedy, two unlikely characters are thrown together to do a reality cop show. While Mitch hates the whole idea of the show, Trey can't help but be caught up in he idea of being a star.
The mishaps that follow these two around are laugh-out-loud funny, and the friendship that results is a great ending to this movie. If you are either an Eddie Murphy or a Robert De Niro fan, or you just like movies about cops, this is definitely one you should see.
