Pretty Good

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Charming and brutal

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Really nice movie Good actors , a decent plot , good screenplay Occasionnaly funny, thrilling and interesting There is some plot holes and some boring random moments , but still I had a good time watching it and why not watch it again A simple movie , funny , entertaining and full of suspense You might consider giving it a shot

The first 30 minutes or so may be sufficient in turning off some viewers. I was glad I didn't stop watching there. After 30 minutes, the film totally picked up. If picking up was enough, within 45 minutes or so, it became much better AGAIN to the point where it was like watching a whole different movie. The shoplifting scene was really funny. If that was funny enough, then get this: it was unfunny when compared to the absolutely hilarious scene that happened a little later (I will not spoil this great joke, but it involves Ben Stiller's character explaining instructions).The heist was fun, too, with humour mixed in to contribute to the action to make it even better. All I have to say is that the whole movie was a good pick, despite not expecting a lot from it.+ Extremely hilarious scene around halfway+ Many other funny jokesFirst 15-30 minutes not that goodScore: 8. It's a borderline 9, though.

Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Judd Hirsch, Tea Leoni, Stephen Henderson, and Gabourey Sidibe star in "Tower Heist" from 2011.It's a caper movie, and it's a light and fun one. Stiller as Josh Kovaks manages an exclusive apartment building, The Tower (like Trump Towers). He finds out that he and the other employees have fallen victim to a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by a tenant, Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda). After Josh nearly destroys the incredibly expensive car that Shaw has on display in his apartment, he and everyone else are fired.Determined to take Shaw down, they learn that he kept about $20 million mad money and decide it's in his safe. They decide to rob him. Kovaks recruits a thief he knows, Slide (Eddie Murphy) to help. Meanwhile, the FBI, in the person of Tea Leoni, has arrested Shaw but it looks as if they might have to drop the charges.Caper movies seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but there's always room for one more good one. The cast here is super talented and while it's not the most original script, there are some fun things in it. Matthew Broderick, Gabourey Sidibe, and Eddie Murphy are especially funny. It's a shame Eddie Murphy's career took a nose dive; he's no less talented than he used to be.With the Macy's Day Parade, particularly Snoopy in the background, Matthew Broderick hanging by a rope, Gabourey Sidibe running her trolley into a guard and knocking him out, you'll have a good time. Just don't expect Citizen Kane.

"Tower Heist" is a fun comedy, action and crime thriller. It's a chess game of life. The opponents are a band of employees who run a high-class apartment building in the heart of Manhattan, and the pent-house tenant who takes their pensions and savings to the cleaners. But, one caper deserves another, and the employees are on the rebound after the FBI get into the picture. It's all about decorum, money, position, working for a living, trusting others, greed, fraud, getting even and justice. That may not sound like the elements of comedy, but they all add ;to a very good and entertaining movie. Ben Stiller is the lead character. Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, Judd Hirsch, Tea Leoni and a host of other actors add to the fast action, bedlam and smiles in this film. Most adults should enjoy this film. Just be prepared for city street language and some vulgarity. The end is an especially nice surprise.
