Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke. Now they bicker over the most trivial of matters and what they are bickering about is whether it's a person's environment or heredity that determines how well they will do in life. When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe's job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him.
Leave your thoughts about Trading Places.
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergAn altogether hilarious concoction that features Dan Aykroyd at his strongest, Eddie Murphy at his freewheeling funniest, and director John Landis at the absolute top of his game. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkHilarious chemistry between Aykroyd and Murphy. |
| VarietyVariety StaffTrading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrTrading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBut what's most visible in the movie is the engaging acting. Murphy and Aykroyd are perfect foils for each other. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldTrading Places is a comedy of unavoidable fits and starts. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPreposterous lighthearted one-joke comedy. |
| Film ThreatBrad LaidmanBecause Eddie doesn't have to carry the whole movie, he is free to make every word that comes out of his mouth infinitely appealing. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...one of the most impressive comedies to emerge out of the 1980s. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittDirected by John Landis with a surprising amount of class, though he lets some of his old ''Animal House'' vulgarity slip ostentatiously into the action. |
