Showtime [2002] / Region 2 PAL European Edition DVD / Language: English / Subtitles: English / Actors: Robert De Niro, Eddie Murphy, Rene Russo, William Shatner, Kadeem Hardison / Directors: Tom Dey / Run Time: 92 minutes Review Can a buddy-cop parody still qualify as a good buddy-cop movie? Showtime struggles to prove it's possible, and with a few solid laughs it almost succeeds. No movie starring Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro could be a total turkey, and their pairing--as (respectively) a brash patrol cop/wannabe actor and a seasoned detective with zero tolerance for showmanship--yields a few choice moments of slick, professional comedy. Still, most of Showtime represents a missed opportunity, squandering Rene Russo's talent as a TV producer who casts Murphy and De Niro in a buddy-cop reality show that turns them into overnight celebrities. In an effort to repeat the modest success of Shanghai Noon, director Tom Dey capitalises on the casual chemistry of his leads (especially Murphy, who outshines his co-stars) until parody succumbs to routine action involving big guns and bad guys. With a sharper sense of satire, this passable entertainment could have been a comedy juggernaut. --Jeff Shannon Video Description DVD Special Features: Audio commentary with Tom Dey, Jorge Saralegui & Billy Webber Additional Scenes with Optional Commentary Behind the Scenes Documentary (HBO First Look) Hidden Feature - Showtime promo spot (Easter Egg) Trailer Ratio 16:9 Languages: English, French and Italian
