Murphy shines alongside an on-form Dan Aykroyd in one on the very best films of the ‘80s. The fun concept sees Murphy’s street con-artist swap places with Aykroyd’s banker as a result of a secret bet.
The set up is comedy gold and allows Murphy just enough time for his wisecracks to really stand out without ever outstaying his welcome. In short, it left us begging for more. 'Trading Places' isn't let down by its killer script - it never flags from beginning to end.
