Quotes
Add a QuoteEnrique DevReaux: "I got the ski caps..." Josh Kovacs: "What? (looks at them) No, no, no. Ski masks. 'Masks'." Enrique DevReaux: "Yeah, but the guy said that these were the warmest ever made." Josh Kovacs: "With pom-poms? You serious?" Charlie: "You're such an idiot. I need a 'mask'! It's gotta cover your face!"
Director Mazin: "You've been a lawyer for less than a week and you're trying to bribe the United States government?" Miss Iovenko: "Sharks are born swimming, sir."
Cole Howard: We're not criminals. We don't know how to steal... Josh Kovacs: Don't worry. I know someone who does.
Mr. Fitzhugh: Shouldn't we be avoiding law enforcement? I never saw an episode of Matlock where the criminal banged Matlock!
Josh Kovacs: He's been arrested a bunch of times. He pays no income taxes. He's got 2 Doberman Pinschers. So let's show him some respect, OK?

Add a CommentGreat Movie...very funny...Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy are good together....Enjoyable for the family.....
Entertaining, fun movie with fairly familiar plot, but with some twists. Stiller is usual flappable straight-to-funny persona, Murphy funny at times, though not overly convincing as the 'criminal', Alda hits it as aloof, sleazy 1%er, Broderick is very good as mousy, financier-down-on-his-luck, and rest of cast supports it well. Don't expect a classic, but gets there with some fun.
surprisingly funny! worth watching.
Creative, stylish comedy/crime caper. Well written (one of the co-writers penned a screenplay in a similar vein - Ocean's Eleven). Great casting, everyone being well suited for their roles. Alda is an intelligent actor/person; Murphy (one of the producers, also) was his usual persona, and funny. Broderick was funny, too, as the hopeless, homeless squatter. Pounding, pulsing horn and rhythm section on the musical score. Sweet vintage Ferrari.
This movie was okay but looked a lot better in the previews than it actually was.
I enjoyed the Tower Heist, it had a great cast, and a pretty good plot. I knew nothing about this movie (except the cover image) before watching it, and I think that's part of why I enjoyed it. No expectations= less disappointment
One of the most depressing films I’ve ever seen. Really a dumb movie. "I fast forwarded all the way."
Eddie Murphy of Beverly Hills Cop is back! Lots of fun and plenty of action.
This movie is a really big yawn all the way. While it had a few laughs, the storyline seemed deadening and not a lot of action. Plus a couple of the characters were very annoying, especially the yakking coming from Eddie Murphy and the blabbering Shaw. I'm just glad I didn't waste my money from watching it on the big screen.
While this movie wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be, it was still very funny. All the actors did a decent job and the movie was well scripted. I would recommend this to fans of off beat comedies.
