    From frame one Showtime displays an ingenuity, cleverness and briskness that never flags.

    Chalk up another big-name star vehicle that fails to live up to a wealth of potential.

    No matter how much good will the actors generate, Showtime eventually folds under its own thinness.

    this movie was hilarious, good stuff! Robert DeNiro's attitude is hilarious, and Eddie Murphy’s character is funny. Rene Russo’s hot too!

    Showtime has a few moments that make you chuckle but the whole story seems discombobulated. You would think that a comedy with Murphy and De Niro would work....it should have but the storyline was just one that didn't allow the actors to really flourish in a buddy cop type movie. Drop the whole reality show premises and you might have had a decent flick but with it Showtime is just to unbelievable.… Expand
