This amusing comedy deals an original premise when two magnate brothers( two classics actors Don Ameche,Ralph Bellamy) stake about if the environment affects on the richness and poorness . Then they scheme a personality change on a cocky broker(likable performance by Dan Aykroyd) falling in distress and a Philadelphia rogue(Eddie Murphy in his second movie ,the first one was 48 hours) turning into a finances expert.
Agreeable film in which an uptight commissioner well played by Aykroyd suffers uncountable penury, being rescued by a sympathetic prostitute finely acted by Jamie Lee Curtis. Eddie Murphy steals the show as a foul-mouthed street hustler, his best moment involves him impersonating a cripple. Packs ample and good secondary cast as Paul Gleason, James Belushi with veterans as Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy ; adding cameos by Frank Oz, Bill Cobbs and unbilled by Giancarlo Exposito,Nicholas Guest,Eddie Jones among them. Film fails on silly sub-argument about a gorilla and embarrassing incidents originates. Colorful cinematography by Robert Paynter and atmospheric musical score by the classic Elmer Berstein. Brilliantly directed by John Landis in his period of maxim splendor when he directed classic comedies movies such as ¨Kentucky fried movie, Into the night,Animal house¨ and of course ¨Blues brothers¨. If you're into craziness and overacting of the great Eddie Murphy this picture is for you.This comedy is still one of the funniest films ever made.
