News & Interviews for Trading Places
Critic Reviews for Trading Places
All Critics (42) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (36) | Rotten (6) | DVD (11)
Trading Places is a comedy of unavoidable fits and starts.

Trading Places also makes Eddie Murphy a force to be reckoned with.
This 1983 film re-creates a screwball comedy format and then eliminates everything but the crudest audience-gratification elements; any incursions into the more morally complicated side of the genre are quickly curtailed.
Trading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.
As a satire on the internecine savagery of fiscal doings under late Reaganite capitalism, the movie is not as biting as it thinks it is; but it's still the best hoot since Arthur.

What's most visible in the movie is the engaging acting. Murphy and Aykroyd are perfect foils for each other.
Audience Reviews for Trading Places
Okay 80's comedy. Laughed a few times.
Super Reviewer
A classic 80s comedy that's still surprisingly relevant in our day.
Super Reviewer
That was amazing. Eddie Murphy killed it. Didn't like Winthorpe though.
