Ben Stiller. Period. He is one of few that have a direct line to my sense of humor, along with Jack Black, Will Ferell, and Seth Rogen. But in Tower Heist, he has showed a side of him I have never seen before. You feel yourself rooting for Stiller to actually get away with an incredible crime. Tower Heist succeeds with the important help of Matthew Broderick, oddly sexy Gabourey Sidibe, and don't forget a subtle comeback for Eddie Murphy. Eddie hasn't made a really good movie that shows off his roots as a funny black comedian that we saw in past movies. The movie is fresh, fun and harmless. In a couple of years, no one will remember this movie. It doesn't excel, and it doesn't sink. But with a subject like this, I feel it hard to create a timeless film to remember for decades. Tower Heist is a movie that if you love Stiller and Murphy, you should see. If you don't really care, see it. The only problem with this film is the major plot holes at the climax. They make no sense. Whatever, I had fun.Bottom Line: Regardless of the plot holes, Tower Heist yields an all-star cast lead by Stiller and makes you root for not-so-good criminals.
