Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was kinda funny but had too many corny spots. Sleeper of a movie.

I was hoping this movie would be funnier, but it wasn't too bad.

Average comedy heist movie with a few funny scenes. C grade movie

Was a little disappointed in this movie considering all the good actors.

An all star cast. How could it. Or be hilariously ....

Alan Alda as the villain? Worth the 3.99 just for that.

This wasn't a bad movie, just not my kind of movie.

Really enjoyed watching this movie with the family.

Truly a pretty dumb movie. The plot, the acting, actually everything about it was baaaad.

Disappointed - expected tons of laughs but most fell flat.

You work all your life in the service industry with the hopes of a comfortable retirement 25 or so years down the road. Meanwhile, the money in your paycheck earmarked for your pension has evaporated into thin air. While this might be enough to make anyone snap, imagine being at the beck and call of the man responsible for bankrupting, not only your retirement fund, but that of all your coworkers. The Tower is home to the most expensive real estate in New York City. But the real draw of The Tower is not the location or the amenities in any of the individual apartments, but the staff which is on duty 24/7. The penthouse apartment is occupied by The Tower’s wealthiest resident Arthur Shaw (played by Alan Alda) who is the CEO of a high-return investment group. When his fund is exposed to law enforcement and in the press as a Ponzi scheme, it falls to building manager Josh Kovacs (played by Ben Stiller) to inform the staff of The Tower that he’d invested their pensions with Shaw and that said pensions are most likely lost. And during all this, Shaw (Alda) is under house arrest in The Tower. But when a doorman just shy of his retirement becomes despondent and attempts suicide, Kovacs resolves to find the rainy day fund that FBI Agent Claire Denham (Tea Leoni) assures him Shaw is hiding. All in the hopes of retrieving what’s rightfully theirs Kovacs, Charlie Gibbs (Casey Affleck), the building concierge and Josh’s brother-in-law, and Mr. Fitzhugh (played by Matthew Broderick), a former Merrill Lynch employee who was evicted from The Tower after losing his job, savings, and marriage, join forces and begin devising a strategy for the caper. But knowing they’re in over their heads, Josh enlists Slide (played by Eddie Murphy), a thief and Kovacs neighbor who he once went to school with. I’ve never been a big fan of Ben Stiller and while I have great appreciation for Eddie Murphy’s early work (the Beverly Hills Cop series, Coming to America and even The Distinguished Gentleman) I’ve long-believed his best years as anything but a voice actor were behind him. That said, I enjoyed this film a great deal.

The movie overall is good. There is nothing fancy or overly complicated about the plot. It makes for a good relaxing movie night and you can watch it numerous times without it becoming boring.

This movie will not win any movie of the year awards, But it's a fun flick, with good acting, much better than I was expecting. Some nice twists to keep you hooked. Check it out!

Ben Stiller is generally not an actor I care for. However I though he was great in this movie. Very believable. Enjoyed watching the movie.

Tower Heist is very well done and a funny movie. It was surprisingly better than I thought it would have been. Turns out to be one of my more favorite movies.

This movie is entertaining and funny. I purchased this movie without knowing the plot line but was pleasantly surprised. Good movie that keeps you laughing.

A mild surprise when I first saw it. Great writing and terrific story.

Entertaining and funny movie. Better than it gets credit for.

A good cast list and some good jokes. I wouldn't watch it over and over again but definitely worth a watch.

This is a great rainy day movie. when you have nothing to do in the house.
