Tower Heist

Eddie Murphy is back, and channeling Axel Foley.  Match that with Ben Stiller's more subdued yet still classic persona, Matthew Broderick's deadpan timing, and a slightly neurotic Casey Affleck and you have a recipe for some pretty funny shizzle.  With this strong cast and several other recognizable faces Tower Heist cannot help but be an enjoyable watch.  The funny is just there, without even really trying.  I found myself audibly laughing at some of the dialogue, when in most situations a comedic movie simply elicits a smile.  The end felt rushed and incomplete, so much so that I stayed through all the credits hoping for a final "secret" scene, but other than that I really have very little to complain about.  Ridiculous and fun, just let the witty banter wash over you as you feel all warm and fuzzy (and hopeful) that Murphy has finally stepped away from the seriously dumb.
