DVD Reviews of Trading Places (Special Collector's Edition)

DVD Review: Great Movie Crystal Clear on Blu - Ray
Summary: 5 Stars

I've seen this movie many times. It was great to see it on Blu-Ray (I brought it). One of my all time favorites.

DVD Review: Absolute classic movie, but maybe not for blu-ray
Summary: 3 Stars

I got a great deal on this blu-ray that's why I bought it. If you can't get this for under $10 I would say stick with standard DVD for this one. It's a classic, and straight laughs all the way through.

I just don't see how blu-ray technology could make this movie any better.

Go with a regular DVD and save some cash.

DVD Review: best gift ever
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a movie purchased as a gift for someone who wanted this particular title. He was very pleased with the movie and the quick shipping time.

DVD Review: One of the funniest and most underrated movies ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've loved Trading Places ever the since the first time I saw it some 20 yrs ago on HBO. It's just a great well-written and well-acted comedy that never fails to make me laugh. This is a movie, like 40 Yr Old Virgin, that doesn't contain ONE wasted scene. EVERY scene in this movie has something funny in it, where most comedies just don't have that kind of consistency.

And regarding how this movie looks on blu-ray, I will say: NOTHING short of spectacular!

And the "Behind the Scenes" special they included (with many brand new and older interviews from the cast and crew) in the Special Features section is great too. I highly recommend buying this movie on blu-ray.

DVD Review: One of My Favorites!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this movie! I am so happy that I finally own it! I had already seen this movie at least a dozen times before buying it. I didn't realize that the guy in the gorilla suit on the train was Jim Belushi! Only drawback was having to go through the previews before getting to the movie menu.

Description of Trading Places (Special Collector's Edition)

AS THE RESULT OF A BET MADE BETWEEN TWO RICH BROTHERS, THELIFESTYLES OF A STREET HUSTLER & A BROKER ARE REVERSED.

In this crowd-pleasing 1983 comedy of high finance about a homeless con artist who becomes a Wall Street robber baron, Eddie Murphy consolidated the success of his startling debut in the previous year's 48 Hours and polished his slick-winner persona. The turnabout begins with an argument between super-rich siblings, played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche: Are captains of industry, they wonder, born or made? To settle the issue, the meanies construct a cruel experiment in social Darwinism. Preppie commodities trader Dan Aykroyd (perfectly cast) is stripped of all his worldly goods and expelled from the firm, and Murphy's smelly derelict is appointed to take his place, graduating to tailored suits and a world-class harem in record time. Eventually the two men team up to teach the nasty old manipulators a lesson, cornering the market in frozen orange juice futures in the process. Director John Landis (The Blues Brothers) doesn't have the world's lightest touch, but he hits most of the jokes hard and quite a few of them pay off. Trading Places is also a landmark film for fans of Jamie Lee Curtis. --David Chute
