    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.

    A flat-out cynical attempt to launch a new Lethal Weapon-like franchise.

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

    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
