Plot Summary
The fun begins when the rich and greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether born loser Valentine (Eddie Murphy) could become as successful as the priggish Winthorpe (Dan Akroyd) if circumstances were reversed. The Dukes have the money to make this happen, but when Valentine and Winthorpe catch on they arrange for a rich and riotous payback!

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [A] shrewd but very likable movie.
Fresh: Trading Places also makes Eddie Murphy a force to be reckoned with.
Fresh: Trading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.
Fresh: What's most visible in the movie is the engaging acting. Murphy and Aykroyd are perfect foils for each other.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic Film, Horrible Price!
First off, I am a huge fan of this film and I suggest everyone to purchase it on DVD for only $5.00 or less from your local walmart or target etc. There is no way in hell that I'll pay $10 to download this on iTunes. It's really bollocks to charge that much for this when you can have an actual hard-copy on DVD for less but I guess if you like less clutter then by all means purchase this on iTunes!
Great movie!
this is one of my all-time favorite movies! I'm so glad to see it on itunes!! its great!!!
Definitely within the top 25 Greatest Comedies of all Time!!
Eddie Murphys best movie or contribution to a movie ever, period!
