Trading Places

Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd combine their comedic talents in this hilarious outing from director John Landis. A conniving Philadelphia street hustler (Murphy) and a snobby, rich executive (Aykroyd) both get a taste of how the other half lives when a pair of corporate bigwig brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) scheme to make them switch lives as part of a "heredity vs. Environment" wager. With Jamie Lee Curtis, Denholm Elliott, Paul Gleason. 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
