Trading Places
They're not just getting rich... they're getting even.

From acclaimed director John Landis comes the story of a down and out con artist who trades lifestyles with a well to do investor (Dan Akroyd). Two wealthy power players (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) set the wheels turning with a crazy bet... and, from there, the comedy gets richer by the minute!

It is fun seeing such "a" list stars in this really old movie. Eddie Murphy does a great job playing the down-and-out con man who lives on the street and is thrust into riches and responsibility. Dan Akryod is also amazing being screwed over and trying to make sense as to what happened to his life overnight. Jamie Lee Curtis was funny too, she reminded me of Liza Mineli in Arthur a little bit. Very cute light hearted film. Worth the watch.A great load of fun. - moviegenius
This was a lot of fun to watch. This was the kind of movie that I had wanted to see, but I was kind of putting off seeing the movie. However, one night when no one else wanted to watch Longest Yard and Little Miss Sunshine, we decided to watch Trading Places (by the way, ``we'' is my family). I must say, it was very funny. Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd both did a terrific job in this movie. So, I think that this is a movie that fans of Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy should see.Rich with humour - punkjuliette
Dan Akroyd was great in this movie. And that is saying alot coming from me, because I am far from an Akroyd fan. As usual Murphy delivers endless laughs. There are also some great moments in this movie, that make me think, "what if?" A movie that I am sure I will add to my collection.
