Showtime

We recently watched the buddy cop movie Showtime. This Robert Deniro-Eddie Murphy vehicle was loudly denigrated by most movie critics. As a result, I went into it with very low expectations.

It will never stand up in comparison to the Beverly Hills Cop movies or 48 hours, but I was surprised to discover a movie that was mildly entertaining. I found the characters a nice contrast. Both are cops, one wants to be an actor and is thrilled when a television show tracks their actions while the other likes being a cop and is annoyed by the publicity.

I wouldn't suggest paying money to see it, but on my scale of 1-100, I rate it a diverting 70.
