This film was awful. I was expecting it to be very good, with Murphy, De Niro, and Russell all together in a single film. But it was not. Russell is a film director who decides to make a reality TV show called "Showtime" involving two cops, Murphy and De Niro. De Niro is serious and about business, while Murphy is out of control and goofy (Lethal Weapon 5 anyone?). So the TV show is shot, and the two dummies hang around until the film's end, acting stupid for the reality show's camera with stupid jokes and absolutely no humor. Even Murphy's role in "I-Spy" was better than this! This film makes me wish that all of the reality TV shows that began with Survivor should never have started, because without them, the idea for this film never would have surfaced and moviegoers would have saved a lot of money that they wasted on this trash. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments.
