Trading Places

Lisa and Joe's very first date on Saturday, July 9th 1983 at the no longer, Regal movie theater on the corner of Maple Road & Alberta Drive in Amherst, NY

One of the funniest films ever made. A treat to watch Eddie Murphy in his prime.

A great cast all round - and a brilliant final twist. (spoiler) Having worked in that area, I cannot tell you how many times I've been asked to describe how they made all that money shorting the commodities!! (spoiler)

This is Murphy's finest performance in my opinion. His character work in Coming To America is fabulous but his Billy Ray Valentine here - especially the scenes in jail and then when they first show him his new home. Absolutely brilliant!

Merry New Year! What a classic.

Trading Places is like the stock market: you never know what's going to happen next, but you can always count on Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy to make you laugh harder than your portfolio's returns.

THE Christmas classic in Italy. Can't miss it on Christmas' eve

_Trading Places_ is an absolute gem of an 80's comedy that still holds up today. The dynamic between Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd has great comedic timing, and the clever social commentary on class and wealth adds an extra layer of depth to the film. What's really impressive, though, is how unapologetically politically incorrect the movie is. It's refreshing to watch a comedy that doesn't hold back. In fact, it's hard to imagine this movie being made today with today's woke standards, which only makes it even more enjoyable.

Great supporting cast. An Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd classic.

Still a classic, carried by the excellent performances by Murphy, Aykroyd and Curtis. Two millionaires make a bet for a dollar to ruin one guy and make another one a millionaire. The tho targets find out about the bet and decide to take revenge. Even though the movie has aged, it still works and is good fun. Just a classic.

A homeless man is offered the opportunity to get rich.

This is probably one of the funniest films of the 1980's... real gem.
