About this product

Product Information

Originally released in 1983, Trading Places is an American comedy that many fans of the genre consider a classic. The film stars Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd and casts them as a poor street hustler and a snobbish managing director, respectively. When two callous millionaires switch their lives are switched as part of a social experiment, the men must spend some time experiencing the world from the other side and see it in a new light. Often seen as a combination of Twain's 'The Prince and the Pauper' and 'The Million Pound Bank Note,' the story is an entertaining, feel-good take on a moral story.

Funny Sting Operation On Wall Street
A very funny, sting type, revenge movie starring two of the best SNL comedians. Lots of familiar supporting cast members round it out. Great story, funny acting, satisfying ending. This movie is one of Hollywoods standout comedies. They don't make them like this anymore.

Trading Places -- One of the greatest comedies ever made!!!
This is an all time great Classic Comedy. Very entertaining with awesome scenes and locations. The NY Stock Exchange, The Twin Towers, Philadelphia and more. Great actors and characters in what is a really good story with great life lessons and a very satisfying ending. I bought it to add to my collection of movies that will never be matched in their quality and magic!!! It is a keeper!!

Great movie and this DVD replaces our VHS tape.
Such a great story line with excellent actors, sets, music and so funny. If you have not seen it you will love it when you do, we like to watch this several times per year.

Disc Condition
My top concern was the condition of this disc. It came with no scratches or other defects. I “loaned” someone my original copy, but never got it back. So far as this movie is concerned, it’s a classic & one of my top favorites!

Classic not for kids
I forgot there was nudity in this movie. I’ve heard it’s based on a true story. The N word is said as well.
