Richard Roeper
Cheerfully crappy schlock.
Eric D. Snider
Made me laugh and held my interest more than it should have, given how sloppy it is. Call it an acceptable bit of B-minus work from a C student.
Tom Long
So what if it's sheer petty escapist enjoyment? Tower Heist delivers the laughs in desperate times.
Peter Rainer
Alan Alda plays the billionaire, and his oleaginous smarm is so good that you almost wish Alda were starring in a hard-edged movie about Madoff instead of this goofy heist picture that takes way...
Robert Levin
This is, of course, Hollywood schlock, directed by shlock-master Brett Ratner. But it's also a surprisingly effective social drama.

Hard to remember the last time Eddie was funny I wanted to come up with a list of things more boring than this movie but the paper is still blank. Gross pandering to the OWS crowd from a bunch of has been comedians. Money thrown in the garbage disposal is better spent

Love some Ben Stiller Pretty much any movie that I get to see Ben Stiller making his quirky faces is a plus in my book. Gabrielle Sidibe delivered a good performance. Eddie Murphy was able to the reprise his comedy without overshadowing the other cast members. I love that the movie has a plot both adults and young kids can understand and follow.
amazing no its gay this is the worst mmovie I have ever seen it is so bad I puked halfway through the soon actually ashley to cedar park
Good Matthew Broderick has the best jokes in this flick. I enjoyed it and its absurdity. Murphy wasnt funny at all. Stiller was okay.
Never again!!@ I've seen 50 times better comedy movies than this one. In sort crappy! Spend you money on something else
Not as good as expected Not up to Eddie Murphy normal standard, I thought it fell flat
Pretty boring Im not sure I even laughed in this movie. Very disappointing considering it has z some actors I usually enjoy.
I expected more Don't get me wrong, it was an okay movie, but a comedy? Almost... Action? Again, almost.. perhaps they should have picked one or the other and ran with it cuz the hybrid didn't quite pull it off.
Very funny I laughed a lot during this show. Not because all the jokes were clever but because it was clean humor, rarity these days.
Rent it!!! IT was halirious and serious at the same time it was a great movie I'm really glad I decided to go with this one best movie ive rented on here so far deff go for it don't think twice !!!!!!
The ending?? Not what I wanted I have to see the alternate one.
Mr. Reds When u rent how long do you have to watch it......how many times can u watch the movie
Sold their souls This movie is terrible.. written with no ambition of any kind. The film equivalent to seeing a once semi-popular band playing a state fair.
Failed with license issues! I've tried watching this movie on my DROID, DROID X, DROID RAZR MAXX, and my Galaxy Nexus to no avail. I've tried everything, all the way down to a complete restore on each phone and a fresh copy of the app, still nothing. I keep getting the same error on all the devices, failed to fetch license, please try again later. Well, later hasn't helped. I've rented both versions, hoping that it was just a fluke with the first one but, nope, same thing. Even tried the Blockbuster app an got the same thing! WTF!
Awesome movie Hilarious Ben stiller is awesome with Eddie murphy see it on Netflix or something cause it's dumb to buy it for four bucks on hear
