Wonderful Movie

Why so much hype?

Pretty Good

Boring

Well, I watched with not many expectations as it was a comedy with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy, so I just hoped to be entertained and the movie did that very well. It tells the story of a big apartment-building manager who gets caught in a problem of fraud of one of the persons who live in the building, who had received all the money from the people who lived in the building for inverting it, so he with a few other people decided to enter in his apartment and steal the money they think he hides in his house.Of course it's not a perfect movie. There are some plot holes that may distract you a bit from the story and apart from the main characters, the rest are a bit useless. Anyway, Ben Stiller & Eddie Murphy have a good chemistry and they provide some funny moments with the characters of Casey Affleck, Michael Peña & Matthew Boderick. Also the last part when they enter in the building and they were planning it and so remanded me a bit to the Oceans movies (well, just a bit, this is not as classy as that trilogy) and it was made very well.In general, this movie is made for entertain and make you laugh and at least, accomplishes that, so if you want to spent an hour and a half watching a funny and entertaining movie, don't miss this one

Tower Heist is Ben Stiller's latest comedy where he plays the building manager of a New York high rise tower block. He regrettably invests him and his staff's pension money with a smooth-talking crook who lives in the top floor penthouse. Naturally, the crook wastes their money and they're left without a cent.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.It's a decent enough premise and, again, all the cast to a decent enough job. There you have it - it's a decent film. Not quite funny enough to be a comedy through and through. Not quite dramatic enough to be a straight drama. It even throws in a bit of a high speed car chase into the mix to add an element of 'action' into the genre.It's a bit of a mixed bag. If you go into it without any expectations, you should find it an okay watch.Not great, but not bad either. Fans of Stiller and Murphy should find extra things to enjoy about it.

Since the first Shrek movie, Eddie Murphy seemed to have been doing his best to prove to everyone that his best movies are now where he is heard and not seen. However here he gives a performance as good as some of his earlier work.As for the rest if the cast, although a straight man, Casey Affleck shows a talent for comedy rarely seen in his filmography, Tea Leoni is hot rather than a hard nosed, Matthew Broderick puts in his best performance for years and Alan Alda is always a delight to watch! However Ben Stiller is once again doing his usual nice guy Ben Stiller routine. It's more than a bit tiresome and boring now, as (with the exception of Dodgeball and Zoolander) he is always playing the same role. There are a few loose ends at the end of the movie, but overall it was an enjoyable ninety minutes.

This is what you get when you have excellent actors, a decent script and an actual plot. This film has an ending and just does not simply end, it is also funny, I laughed out loud at Ben Stiller with the line "...the elephant in the room" and Gabourey Sidibe "what your saying", Plot Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) is the manager of a residential apartment in New York. He is close to all the tenants, especially Arthur Shaw (Alan Alder), a financier. One day Shaw is arrested by the FBI for fraud and from there the fun begins, Eddie Murphy is back to his best. I know everyone has an opinion but the 1 star haters need to lighten up, treat yourself and watch this film.
