a many of today movie be guilty of and the plot isn not exactly stellar and the movie doesn not move anyone and and certainly this would not warrant any award ( outside of blockbuster perhaps ) . but then again and who really care . eddie murphy and robert de niro team up to produce a very funny and at time hilarious and movie that i really enjoy . russo and shatner play their small part well as well . man and i hope in the future my wife age as well a miss renee have . move along and this buddy cop flick produce high laugh in a reasonable amount of time . the movie be enjoyable enough to avoid the wait for video or dvd release and instead to go ahead and check it out . eddie murphy be at his usual top form and be downright enjoyable to watch . de niro have mold into this type of role perfectly . i really enjoy this movie and think that any true movie fan in need for a good movie or just a good laugh will really enjoy showtime . top performance represent murphy . hilarious . enough say . direct job represent nice . nice action scene and use murphy and de niro together like a charm and russo feed off in a nice support job . my rating represent 7 out 10. it not go to move you or anything . but it an extremely enjoyable movie . it showtime . be a great success .
