Plot
Summary: Louis Winthorpe III is a successful
New York commodity broker with mansion, manservant
and girlfriend to match. Billy Ray Valentine is a
hustling beggar. Winthorpe's employers, the elderly
Duke brothers, make a bet that by switching the lifestyle
of the two Billy Ray will make good and their man
will take to a life of crime. Suddenly Louis finds
himself uncomprehendingly with no job, no home and
only a new acquaintance, glamourous hooker Ophelia,
prepared to help him. So at least in one way things
could actually be worse.
Comments:
Great
story of rags to riches... This is a great story.
The Duke brothers make their traditional bet "$1.00"
to see how a homeless man (played by Eddie Murphy)
can take a high profile commodities broker position
and be sucessful at it while they take the position
away from Louis Winthorpe III (played by Dan Aykroyd)
and make his life a complete disaster. Jamie Lee Curtis
also stars in this all-star lineup. I would recommend
getting this movie, Beverly Hills Cop and 48HRS which
are Eddie Murphy's 3 best movies of his career. -
