Movies I Want to See: "Tower Heist"

Today I am bringing you the trailer for "Tower Heist;" a new madcap comedy hitting theaters on November 4.

Directed by Brett Ratner, Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy, a comedy pairing that I am VERY Excited about, lead an all star-cast that included Matthew Broderick, Gabourey Sidibe, Casey Affleck, and Alan Alda.

The movie centers around a group of hotel workers, led by Ben Stiller's character, who plan to get revenge on a wall-street billionaire; played by Alan Alda. The tycoon was in charge of the workers' pensions; which he ended up stealing. In order to pull off the heist perfects, Stiller's protagonist bails an old acquaintance out of jail; who apparently has experience in committing acts of robbery. Guess which lead actor plays this role.

I am really excited to see this film in November. First of all, this could be the first truly great Ben Stiller-headlined film in a while. Judging by the trailer, it looks like he is definitely bringing his A-Game. In addition, it is great to see Stiller headline a film like this; as it is more than likely that we will get to see a sharper performance than some of his previous releases.

And, of course, I am greatly excited to see Eddie Murphy take a break from all of the family-films we've been seeing him in recently. As we can tell by the preview, Murphy's performance reminds me of his feats in such comedies as "Beverly Hills Cop," "Trading Places," and "Coming to America." In addition, I am sure that the combination of Murphy and Stiller should be a blast; and their chemistry should be completely hysterical and memorable.

Furthermore, it is great to see Matthew Broderick return to the big screen. I haven't seen him partaking in a movie in AGES; and seeing him star alongside Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy should be very exciting. I enjoyed his performances in films such as"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Cable Guy;" the later of which is very noteworthy-- seeing as Ben Stiller served as the director. Therefore, "Tower Heist" will go on to be a true reunion between the two actors.

In addition, the rest of the cast looks great as well. It is wonderful seeing Gabourey Sidibe should be great as well; and even though I have not seen "Precious;" I do think that she did a fine job hosting Saturday Night Live back in April 2010. Casey Affleck and Michael Pena should be great as well; in fact, this whole movie should be an absolute blast!

Simply put, this DEFINITELY looks like a must-see this Fall; and I can't wait to view it and write a critique. And, in the meantime, give me your thoughts on the trailer. Feel free to comment and offer your insight. The Crime Comedy Genre returns this November!
