"Trading Places" has been out for quite a while now, but you can still
catch it at the discount places.  Starring Dan Ackroyd and my man Eddie
Murphy.  Rehash of the "Prince and the Pauper" under the guise of a
"scientific experiment" conducted by two VERY RICH old fogeys.

Eddie Murphy steals the show, as usual.  Dan is ok, but a bit
lack-luster.  Jamie-Lee Curtis (??) does a good bit as a soft-hearted,
but right-headed hooker.  No gratuitous sex and very little violence,
sorry.  The movie includes a five minute lesson on the commodities
market, and the old adage "buy low, sell high" is proven, once again, to
be true.

On the Commodore's Scale of Merit (6 bells being all's well) I'd give
this a 4 (one comedian does not a good movie make.)
