it showtime . showtime be simply a bump in eddie murphy and robert deniro career . it an entertaining movie and a guilty pleasure but not quite up to the actor standard and especially not robert . showtime be direct by tom dey and feature some small role from guy like william shatner and mo def . showtime be about two very different cop and mitch preston ( deniro ) and trey sellars ( murphy ) . one take work seriously in a low profile and quiet manner while the other be more easy go and want to have more fun than felon in his back seat . they be both after the same felon behind a huge caper of television and vcr and etc . they then cross path and a tv station want a new reality tv show so they fight crime while they be on tv . mitch hat the publicity while trey love it with his line and it showtime . their tv antic and method be show on tv and they be the new cop show . the fun begin . overall and showtime be a fun action comedy . a good film but not quite up to the actor expectation and standard . however and it roll along a it tread and parody reality tv show . a good break from show like cop . truly at the end and just a guilty pleasure . my rating represent positive eliason a .
