Heist movies have hit the screens with regularity in every language and generation. You know how it all ends: the smart thieves get their booty despite all odds and twists. But, very few are actually smart and slick enough like an 'Italian Job' or an 'Oceans Eleven'. On a comparative rating, 'Tower Heist' doesn't even get close. 'The Tower' is a luxury high rise apartment (actually filmed at Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan) where the hard working staff led by Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) make sure that its high profile tenants are pampered. In the backdrop of difficult markets and people losing jobs including one of the Tower's tenants and Wall Street trader Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick), FBI arrests the wealthiest tenant Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda). Just then, Josh realizes that his pension along with that of his staff have been wiped out in Shaw's Ponzi scheme. To make matters worse, Josh and two others are fired for their outburst at Shaw. When the drunken FBI agent (Tea Leoni) reveals that Shaw could be having cash hoard in his penthouse, Josh resolves to steal it. For all practical purposes, a film starring Ben Stiller cannot be an action flick. Thus, comedy is written into it. And Josh's conspirators aren't professional thieves, but a concierge, Charlie (Casey Affleck), an elevator operator, Enrique (Michael Pena), Fitzhugh and Odessa a cleaner (Gabourey Sidibe). So, they hire Slide, a small-time thief (Eddie Murphy) to teach them to do the job and Murphy adds a few laughs. How the bunch of simple folk handle the heist forms the rest of the story. Contrary to other Heist flicks playing on the difficulty of the job or employ 'Mission Impossible' style technology or stylish actors, 'Tower Heist' tries to differentiate itself as a comedy where amateur thieves bungling up on something or the other. But, comedy is forced and feels as if someone is holding an 'Applause' or 'Laugh' board for the audience. Going by the star power that 'Tower Heist' had, one would at least expect a decent comedy. But alas, such is not the case and you don't see concrete stuff till it gets to the end, which, in contrast to the rest of the movie is smartly written. Well, you won't mind watching it on Cable TV; but coughing up bucks for a movie ticket is a no-no.

Last Friday, we had Tower Heist for dinner. We went there without much expectations, as is so often the rule when it comes to sitcoms. One shouldn't expect a movie-making masterpiece, but that is not a problem anyway. Sitcoms do what they should: Give you a good and easy laugh! And it did. The old recipe of comedians (Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy) can still put off some good laughs, I must admit! But not always so, for the first half hour was very boring and regular. It is the standard introduction of the environment, in this case "The Tower", a gigantic skyscraper where the high and rich can spend their days embalmed in luxury and high quality service. We see Ben Stiller as its manager, the one to make sure everything is alright. I will not really use elements from the story, because you can also read a short introduction. These first touches are boring but necessary: They contradict what is about to follow when the sh*t hits the fan, the ricochet. Only, the problem was that this part of the film lasted just a little too long. But what followed made everything right, nonetheless. The casting isn't special, but it works, an older formula with a new touch. Who doesn't know the comedy about businessmen whose life is about to get into serious sh*t? Trading Places, Liar Liar, anyone? Who doesn't know Eddie Murphy, always there to turn even the most serious and formal places into a mess. And don't forget Ben Stiller, who happens to take up a role much more serious than we're used to. If I have made you think that this is just a comedy, well, not entirely. It has action in it, and some parts actually gave me the thrills (I have fear of heights). Comedy and action has also proved a very good combination, for example "The Hangover". So far so good. It might seem like a cliché, which it actually is, but it's good. It's nigh impossible to think of an original comedy story, because there's an ungodly amount of them made every year. Elements of older comedies are used by the new ones, creating slightly different ideas every time. Think about it for a longer time and you'll see the simplicity in them, which you could... but... maybe you shouldn't. Why not? Because these movies aren't made for thinking, but laughing, enjoying. Conclusion: I can recommend this movie to anyone looking for some nice and easy sitcom fun. That's what you want, that's what you'll get. I promise, you will not be disappointed. This movie is nothing special compared to its other comedy counterparts, but neither are they. This is everything a comedy SHOULD be: Fun. [8/10]
