Editorial Review:

Product Description:
As the result of a bet made between two rich brothers the lifestyles of a street hustler & a broker are reversed. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 06/05/2007 Starring: Dan Aykroyd Don Ameche Run time: 116 minutes Rating: R

Amazon.com essential video:
In this crowd-pleasing 1983 comedy of high finance about a homeless con artist who becomes a Wall Street robber baron, Eddie Murphy consolidated the success of his startling debut in the previous year's 48 Hours and polished his slick-winner persona. The turnabout begins with an argument between super-rich siblings, played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche: Are captains of industry, they wonder, born or made? To settle the issue, the meanies construct a cruel experiment in social Darwinism. Preppie commodities trader Dan Aykroyd (perfectly cast) is stripped of all his worldly goods and expelled from the firm, and Murphy's smelly derelict is appointed to take his place, graduating to tailored suits and a world-class harem in record time. Eventually the two men team up to teach the nasty old manipulators a lesson, cornering the market in frozen orange juice futures in the process. Director John Landis (The Blues Brothers) doesn't have the world's lightest touch, but he hits most of the jokes hard and quite a few of them pay off. Trading Places is also a landmark film for fans of Jamie Lee Curtis. --David Chute

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AWESOME transfer to Blu-ray!!! YAH!
What is there to say about this movie, except that its a CLASSIC! ~ YAH!However, the fact that this movie has been around since the 80's caused me to be wary about purchasing it on blu-ray. Unfortunately, the clarity of some blu-ray discs aren't a whole lot better than standard DVD, so I was hoping for a good transfer, but not expecting great quality. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Other than the datedness of the time period the movie was made, the movie itself looks as clear as ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic movie gets high def release packed with special features
This review is for the Blu-Ray release of the 1983 comedy classic "Trading Places." If you have not seen this movie yet then you really are missing out and what better way to experience this movie than in 1080p high definition.
I already owned the bare bones DVD release, but did not hesitate to order the Blu-Ray release. The quality is truly incredible with a level of detail that simply blows me awaqy and none of the grain or softness that plagues the inferior DVD version.
Plus we are ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The BEST SNL Alumni movie EVER!!!
There is NO argument! This is THE BEST SNL ALUMNI MOVIE EVER!!! Not only is it FUNNY, but it's also intelligent. This is one of those movies that you just have to watch every time it's on tv even though it is cut horribly for tv.

DVD or Blu-ray is THE way to watch this movie in all of it's glory. In fact, it's become a 'Christmas' movie at out house. I have literally watched this movie and then gone back and watched it again. THAT'S how GREAT this movie is!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - EDDIE MURPHY IS FUNNY!!
I GOT TWO WORDS FUNNY AND CRAZY! OR IS THAT THREE NO TWO?
YOU FIGURE IT OUT LOL!
