Tower Heist

   There are those times when you look at the movies schedule and you scratch your head wondering what in the world there is to watch.  Most of the movies during the October-November months really don't have that "movie theater" appeal.  Sure a good Netflix, Redbox, or Blockbuster rental but again not a real good reason to watch at the theaters.  I had a day off from work and was invited to go watch a movie with some of my friends.  Those friends having more leisure time than me are able to watch more movies than I am so this was the last choice on the list that appealed to our somewhat shallow minds.
    This is a comedy that has Ben Stiller being his usual typecast self.  The self motivated, anally retentive go getter that is funny because of the more than awkward situations that you see him get into.  Eddie Murphy and his brand of over the top in your face loud brashness that only Eddie can do was a bright spot in this one.  The other actors did a decent job of playing back up and brought in some other laughs as well.
      The premise of the movie is interesting.  Nothing that really hasn't been seen in any Oceans 11-13 movie but the idea behind this one is its not professionals that are doing the heist.  Its a bunch of misfit unemployed workers of a condo in Manhattan NY.   This does provide some funny and interesting situations.
     The movie has crass humor in it.  There are plenty of innuendos and some "minor" cussing.  With the PG-13 rating you wouldn't expect a lot of the harsh words to come out but there is an occasional bomb throughout the film.  I would recommend sticking to the PG-13 rating and leave this for the kids at least 13 and up.  I would not recommend this as a theater experience but more of a take home rental.  Its good for some laughs and to lighten up the mood.
