A Movie Review: Tower Heist

Tower Heist. Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) ran a Ponzi scheme. Some of the victims are the staff of the condo tower where he lives. They want their money back and Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) along with Slide (Eddie Murphy) are out to find money that is hidden away in Arthur Shaw's penthouse.

This is a poor man's Ocean's Eleven: a funnier movie, but the heist is not as sophisticated. A poor man's version doesn't mean bad. It was a fun movie to watch. One of those movies where you don't have to think too much. Just sit back and enjoy the antics of the actors on screen. Sometimes you need a movie like that.
