I wish ‘Trading Places’ (1983) could be traded for laughs

Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Though the comedic talents of Murphy and Aykroyd are apparent, they have little to work with.

Movie review: Three decades later, Murphy and Hall still look great. But the writers obviously weren’t polishing fresh jokes in the interim.

Throwback Thursday (Movie review): “Coming to America” isn’t a hilarious screenplay, but the wild creations of the two leads are a blast.

Axel Foley flashback (Movie review): Murphy has his franchise, and he’s having fun in this sequel. It mostly transfers to the audience.
