Josh Kovacs: The average apartment in the Tower costs 5.6 million dollars. We have the best views, the most advanced security systems, but you know what these people are really buying?
Rick Malloy: White neighbors?

What?
Josh Kovacs is the manager of luxurious tower apartment in New York. All the tenants are rich, richer and richest of New York. The staff is amazing, the security is the best you can get and of course an amazing penthouse with a pool on the top. Arthur Shaw, one of the wealthy tenants is arrested by the FBI for Fraud. The name Ponzi rings here a bell and what do you think, there is a scheme attached to it. All the pensions of the employees of the tower are gone, when Josh has decided to Invest in Shaw. After Josh Kovac understands that every Ponzi has a hidden security net he decides to rob his apartment in the towerand get revenge. From here you understand that for unprofessional criminals, crime is difficult.

Yes?
The movie is funny, that’s the least I can say. You feel for the employees and the villain is well played by Alan Alda. He has this face where you just want to hit him for what he does. You want the Criminals to succeed; I just like it when Hollywood tells us that crime is ok, when it’s against someone worse than you.

Stiller is just Stiller, you could say that he plays himself, he gives the same performance again and again, but you still love him afterwards. It’s not bad, it’s even good, dry but well. Think about it, he always plays the same thing, comedies in which he is the conservative guy, which needs to become liberal and loose to survive.
Then we have Eddie Murphy, I watched this guy since I was a kid, Beverly Hills cop 1,2,3, I just loved those movies. Then something happened he decided that he needs to play every character in every movie he does, why? I don’t know but I stopped to like him. I am happy to announce that he is back, and he only plays one character and that’s just enough. He is funny entertaining and sharp, he has jokes where you need them and it’s just good to have him here in the film. He and stiller together have a great chemistry and they add a lot to the whole thing.
No?
The movie had some slow moments; you just want them to be over. They ruin all the other moments, you just wait and start to asses’ scene per scene to see if this is going to become a good scene or a bad one. Most of the scenes are good I must say. That’s that.

Then we have the actress, ok she is hot ( Tea Leoni) but what’s with the acting part. She faded in the background and was just not needed in this movie.
Well…
This movie was entertaining, I felt that I got my money value here and I laughed a couple of times. You got what you expect from a comedy with Stiller and Murphy. You don’t have to watch it at the movies, you can just wait till it comes to DVD or rent it, or else. Because of all the above I grade this…
