Starring Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Tea Leoni, Matthew Broderick
I was looking forward to this movie, and I wasn’t disappointed. The premise of the movie is based on the Bernie Madoff scandal. Ben Stiller leads a group of employees of a luxury condo apartment building in New York City who have been swindled by one of the wealthy residents. Because the avengers are all law-abiding citizens who don’t know how to steal, they cut a local thief in on the plan.
There was a terrific cast of supporting characters of good guys and bad guys. The plot had several marvelous twists and turns that kept you guessing and a wonderful surprise ending. While this gang that couldn’t shoot straight was trying to pull off the heist, all sorts of funny things were happening to get in their way. Ben Stiller plays the straight man here and Eddie Murphy is hilarious as the con man/thief who becomes their teacher.
Although stealing isn’t a great idea, the movie managed to get across good messages. There was no violence, but some bad language and a little sexual innuendo. Tower Heist is a clever and entertaining movie that will keep you guessing. It should be fine for kids 11 and up who can get the gist of how a Wall Street investor can swindle people.
