Trading Places (1983)


Apparently inspired by Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper and thematically similar to movies like Man With A Million (The Million Pound Note), this prince and pauper story, a huge comedy success in the 80s but fairly ugly now with its gratuitous T and A, N-words, and only glib social commentary, has a pair of unpleasant New York brokers make a bet to see how a 'have' and a 'have-not' fare when their roles in society are reversed; when the 'have' and the 'have-not' learn of the bet, they seek revenge.

★★★☆☆
