Not bad, entertaining enough and had some laugh out loud moments (which I think woke some people up on the plane).

i thought that this was going to be a complete piece of garbage, but I was wrong. very entertaining and fun to watch.

Not quite the bad but entertaining Ocean's 11 mock-up I expected it to be.

A likable cast in a comedy heist film that works because it is built on believable characters rather than cheap gags. The ending is completely unbelievable, though, and that hurts the movie a bit.

Inoffensively innocuous and immediately forgettable. There aren't very many laughs, (although Broderick's 'Matlock' line nearly made me piss my pants) and the plot is silly and somewhat lightweight. "Tower Heist" is exactly what you'd expect from any Brett Ratner movie; a little bland, not too much flair or innovation, but perfectly harmless entertainment.

Very entertaining!

Eddie Murphy does a great Charlie Murphy.

easily forgettable... only a few "smiles" that's all...

Some action, some thrills, some laughs, but at the end of the day it's weighed down by a nonsensical plot and poor pacing that doesn't really manage to come together at all. While its strongest elements (Leoni, Broderick, and the times when Murphy is allowed to channel his eighties self) are underused, its weakest (Sidibe, Stiller's moral centrepiece) are far too prominent; the story seems to focus in on plot twists that really aren't that twisty, and the end result is distinctly unmemorable.

The story and jokes are nothing to praise, but the cast is top notch and makes up for a lot of the movie's misfortunes (which there were plenty of).

A poor man's Ocean's 11. Marketed as a comedy so I was disappointed there were so few if any laughs. Murphy and Stiller were wasted, apparently there were some other people in it as well.

This film gets a bad rep. Very enjoyable Heist movie with a great cast, I thoroughly enjoyed it. More action than comedy.

This film is clearly trying to be an ensemble Ocean's 11 type of film. However there are only a few laughs and the actors in this film do not have great chemistry together. The actors have some funny moments but they have all been better in other films.

At first, everything is serious and the action's slow. The comedy starts after a little bit boring and long introduction, but when it starts, it gets awesome.

Pretty much what it says it is, what with whose in it and the plot. It is just a bit better than I assumed it would be, but not by much.

Eddie Murphy isn't cutsie for the first time since about .... 1993ish.

Not so good

Not that bad really; mildly entertaining with a couple of chuckle-worthy lines.

Entertaining, but very unreal.

I was entertained... Kind of surprised by how low the ratings are on here for this movie.

it squeezed one or two poor charity loughs out of me....bad waste of time. Maybe a child would find something funny in the story or dialogs.

Like the good old McNeil would have said: Meh...

It's a half-assed heist movie and an average comedy. If you're looking to watch two mediocre films for the price of one, this is for you!

I didn't know a movie could be that lazy in every single way

Very fun. Very entertaining. When I come across it again, I'll watch it. The people who compare this to Oceans are making a mistake, it was never meant to be seen like that. More comedy than heist this is for people looking for laughs not people looking for complicated heist and intense action. Its a little insane how many people are reviewing this as a serious movie.

"A bland, schematic contrivance of a class comedy that never elicits any responses beyond the primitive and the childish." - R. Kurt Osenlund

Not spectacular but definitely fun! This film had a great cast and a pretty good story complete with one of the best smooth talking bad guys of late, Alan Alda. All of the supporting cast was good too. Worth a look.

Routine and lethargic. Gabourey Sidibe was the worst.

Surprisingly sharp and biting for awhile, thanks to some worthy performances and a crackling script. Soon enough, though, it deflates into nothing more than a lot of incongruously generic, slapsticky, sitcommy tomfoolery. It should also be stated that Murphy--in a pretty smallish part, actually--delivers a performance that approaches "Pluto Nash"-level blandness.

In a way, I like the stupidity of all these characters, and I see this one as such a happy film for Eddie, who is fortunately back to basics. For a heist film set in a period of financial breakdown, it should be at least a little bit more intelligent. And, well, Ratner doesn't know how to handle with the rest of these guys -- I just couldn't hear Casey Affleck's voice; no, really, I couldn't. But that scene with the car in the heights scared the hell out of me.

Amusing.

With the amount of talent involved, 'Tower Heist' deserves to be less generic than its title suggests. Director Brett Ratner wants to combine 'Rush Hour' with 'Ocean's Eleven,' but he fails---delivering a comedy that isn't all that funny. Eddie Murphy is criminally underused, but in the little time he has, he makes the most of it, returning to the element of his glory days. Outside of Murphy, the other actors fail to generate excitement. Aside from one memorable visual, 'Tower Heist' flops.

very funny 10 out of 10

It may feel like a poor man's Ocean 11 with less attractive people pulling off a less complex heist with less snappy dialogue, but it's still entertaining. It's nice to see Murphy return to his roots as a streetwise guy who doesn't wear a fat suit. Pena deserves a mention as he's the funniest person overall. Even Broderick chips in some laughs (even if his character's inclusion in the heist makes no sense). It'll get some undeserved hate, but I found it a fun movie. Give it a chance.

Needs more Murphy. The plot is fun enough, and the jokes are mostly funny, but nothing I'll remember for very long.

Almost every person in the cast has impressed me at some point in their careers, and their collective charisma keeps the movie moving at a brisk enough clip. The actual heist sequence just doesn't have the verve, complexity, or creativity of a film like Ocean's Eleven though. Seeing as this is a heist flick, this is a problem. But to give Ratner credit, there is a scene that, as a person with a severe phobia of heights, made me go "Oh shit!"

Bar a few quality moments and disjointedly put together segments, Tower Heist (or as I shall be calling it from now on, Ocean's Eleven's retarded little brother) is a disaster. Weirdly, the overall production is occasionally impressive, with some Tower shots of almost Die-Hardian scope. The bulk of the blame lies with the plot, which is a nonsensical nightmare, a fact you're reminded of in every single scene, and then once more between scenes for good measure. The cast is a bit lifeless, too.

Perhaps the most unwillingly funny movie I've ever seen. How did this get made? It's just filled with plot holes, inconsistencies and so many unanswered questions. But that is also why I give it such a high score. Because it is so funny to talk about.

It's not bad, it has some original ideas. Passes the time. But what the hell happened to Matthew Broderick? He's been porking Sarah Jessica Parker too long, he looks as ugly as her now.
