It's "Showtime"

[apoppin]

. . . with Robert DeNiro, Eddie Murphy, Rene Russo and William Shatner.

Haven't heard a thing about it (it's out now on DVD).

It's a relatively funny movie, but it could have been funnier. I thought Eddie was funnier in Beverly Hills Cop, and Deniro was better in everything else he did.

I hate Blockbuster's 2-day rentals (and I refuse to pay any late charges).

I got in on that 10 videos + LOTR DVD for $25 deal.

I guess I will force myself to stay up late and watch it tonight then.

Deniro was better in everything else he did

Thanks for the comments (Robert DeNiro's worst movie???? This I gotta see.)

Haha, well I don't know about worst movie. He's pretty good in it. But I tend to compare his roles to stuff like Heat, in which he was pretty good. I watched the first 30 min of Meet the Parents, didn't laugh once. So that could be his worst role.

It's not a bad movie, but it could have been a lot funnier. Not a gut buster, that's for sure.

I really liked it . . . well the WRITING could have been a LOT better, but the actors did well with thin material.

DeNiro was playing a tough role - someone who couldn't act. Murphy was let off his leash and pulled off some funny stuff - or would have if the script was better.

But 'not bad'.
