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.

Not exciting, not funny, not anything...

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!"

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.

Routine and lethargic. Gabourey Sidibe was the worst.

Everything that escapes from brett ratner's bulbous meatball head and finds itself on a cinema screem makes me long for the eternal sleep.

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.

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!

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

Just another half assed heist movie. Basically the most enjoyment I got out of this is laughing at Ben Stiller existing in the same movie as Eddie Murphy and a sassy black woman to a much less comical effect than desired.
