Tower Heist is a great movie with a well written storyline with a great comedic cast.I was certainly disappointed by this movie,it teams up two comedy actors who I am huge fans of,Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy,and on top of that it also stars Matthew Broderick and Casey Affleck,and while it is an enjoyable movie,I gave my hopes up on this being an outstanding comedy,because I expecting nothing more with a comedy cast like this,also it was Murphy's first adult comedy on years.It still is a really good comedy however,and the best performance certainly has to be Eddie Murphy,it was a great comeback to characters like his Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop characters,the much better and way funnier Murphy that I really missed,and this movie is certainly much better than the movies he's done in recent years (Meet Dave,Norbit,etc.) and I hope he realises after doing this film that these comedy suit him much more than family friendly ones.Tower Heist is a very enjoyable comedy that I would recommend to all fans of comedy,Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller. With the Macy's Day Parade, particularly Snoopy in the background, Matthew Broderick hanging by a rope, Gabourey Sidibe running her trolley into a guard and knocking him out, you'll have a good time. It's a shame Eddie Murphy's career took a nose dive he's no less talented than he used to be. Matthew Broderick, Gabourey Sidibe, and Eddie Murphy are especially funny. The cast here is super talented and while it's not the most original script, there are some fun things in it. Caper movies seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but there's always room for one more good one. Meanwhile, the FBI, in the person of Tea Leoni, has arrested Shaw but it looks as if they might have to drop the charges. Kovaks recruits a thief he knows, Slide (Eddie Murphy) to help. Determined to take Shaw down, they learn that he kept about $20 million mad money and decide it's in his safe. After Josh nearly destroys the incredibly expensive car that Shaw has on display in his apartment, he and everyone else are fired.
He finds out that he and the other employees have fallen victim to a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by a tenant, Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda). Stiller as Josh Kovaks manages an exclusive apartment building, The Tower (like Trump Towers). It's a caper movie, and it's a light and fun one. Fans of Stiller and Murphy should find extra things to enjoy about it.īen Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Judd Hirsch, Tea Leoni, Stephen Henderson, and Gabourey Sidibe star in "Tower Heist" from 2011. If you go into it without any expectations, you should find it an okay watch. It even throws in a bit of a high speed car chase into the mix to add an element of 'action' into the genre. Not quite dramatic enough to be a straight drama.
Not quite funny enough to be a comedy through and through.
It's a decent enough premise and, again, all the cast to a decent enough job. Therefore, Ben and a few other disgruntled employees, enlist the help of small time crook Eddie Murphy to break into the penthouse and steal back their money. Naturally, the crook wastes their money and they're left without a cent. He regrettably invests him and his staff's pension money with a smooth-talking crook who lives in the top floor penthouse. Tower Heist is Ben Stiller's latest comedy where he plays the building manager of a New York high rise tower block.
