Negative Positive
Title: A very plesant night on the town.
Review: You would not expect Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy to be a great comedy match, but both of them pull if off in SHOWTIME.De Niro who proved he could do comedy in ANALYZE THIS and BRAZIL proves it a third time. He does it however playing a "De Niro " role as the tough no nonsense cop who gets stuck with Murphy to get out of a PR jam.Like De Niro Murphy plays a part he has played before as the cop who is more savvy about TV then police work.Rene Russo is fun in a supporting role and William Shatner is absolutely hilarious as himself trying to teach De Niro how to play to the camera. If he had more scenes he would steal the show.The only flaw in my mind was the lack of development in the relationship between Di Niro's character and Russo. I get the feeling that those scenes were left on the cutting room floor.Definately worth the price of admission, a great date movie.
