Ahh... Eddie Murphy in the 80's. Before he became a little too big for his boots and was endulged to play every character in his films. It's easy to forget that in the 80's and early 90's he was involved in some good stuff. Trading Places was a Dan Ackroyd vehicle on release but Murphy gets most of the laughs in a croud pleasing 'fish out of water' story. A $1 bet between 2 ageing billionaires let's Murphy 'trade places' with Ackroyd from down and out to rich play boy. Good harmless fun, with a nice little Jim Belushi cameo.
