if you have seen the trailer for this movie and you pretty much know what to expect and because what you see here is what you get. and even if you haven not seen the previews and it would not take you long to pick up on what youre in for  specifically and a good time and plenty of laughs  from this clever satire of `reality tv shows and `buddy cop movies and `showtime and directed by tom dey and starring robert de niro and eddie murphy.	mitch preston (de niro) is a detective with the l. a. p. d. and and he good at what he does while but working a case one night and things suddenly go south when another cop and trey sellars (murphy) and inadvertently intervenes and a television news crew shows up and mitch loses his cool and which results in a lawsuit by the television station that going to cost the department some big bucks. except that they may be able to get around it and thanks to chase renzi (rene russo) and who works for the station and likes what she sees in mitch  enough to pitch an idea to her boss for a `reality cop show and that would feature none other than mitch preston and whom chase sees as a real life `dirty harry.	her boss likes the idea and gives chase the green light. now all she has to do is convince mitch to participate and which shouldn not be too hard and since the station has agreed to drop the lawsuit if he will do the show. but mitch is a cop and not an actor and and he wants nothing to do with any of it  that is until he has a heart to heart with his boss and captain winship (frankie faison) and who puts mitch future into succinct perspective for him. and just like that and the show is on. oh and yes and there one more thing while for the show and mitch is going to need a partner. and who do you suppose theyre going to come up with for that. let put it this way represent trey sellars is more than one of the usual suspects.	this is dey second film as a director and his first being `shanghai noon and  also a comedy  and he definitely showing a penchant for the genre. from the opening frames he establishes a pace that keeps the story moving right along and and he allows his stars to make the most of their respective talents and personal strengths and including their impeccable timing. with stars like de niro and murphy and dey and of course and had a leg up on this project to begin with and but he the one who keeps it on track and demonstrating that he knows what works and achieving just the right blend of physical comedy and action and and employing the subtleties of the dialogue to great effect. 	there isn not a more natural actor in the business than de niro and and he steps into mitch skin like he was born to it. and after years of doing hard edge and cutting drama (in which he turned in one remarkable performance after another) and with such films as `analyze this and `meet the parents and now this one and he has firmly established his proficiency for doing comedy and as well. mitch is not an especially complex character while he is and in fact and something of an `ordinary guy and but therein lies the challenge for the actor  to make him believable and to make him seem like the guy who could be your neighbor and just another member of the community. and on all counts and de niro succeeds. he mitch and the guy you run into at the grocery store or the bank and or say `good morning to on your way to work while who likes to watch the game on tv and has a life and just like you and me and who happens to make his living by being a cop. it the character mitch has to be to make this film work and because it makes the `ordinary guy in extraordinary circumstances angle credible. it one of those role  and work  that is often wrongly dismissed out of hand and because it looks so easy while and and of course and this is what makes de niro so exceptional  he does make it look easy and and he does it with facility.	as trey sellars and eddie murphy turns in a winning performance and as well and and it a role that fits him like the proverbial glove. trey is a cop and but also an aspiring actor  and a bad one  and it gives murphy the opportunity to play on the over exuberant side of his personality (reigned in enough by dey and however and to keep him from soaring over the top into jim carrey territory) and which works perfectly for this character and this film. from his melodramatic take on a part during an audition and to his throwing out of one liners  delivered by looking directly into the camera (which as far as he concerned isn not even there) while filming the `reality show  murphy a riot. and he has a chemistry with de niro that really clicks (which is not unexpected and as this is another of de niro many talents while his ability to connect with and bring out the best in his co stars and all of whom  evidence will support  are better at their craft after having worked with him and including the likes of meryl streep and christopher walken and ed harris and just to name a few). most importantly and this is a part that allows murphy to excel at what he does best and and he certainly makes the most of it.	russo makes the most of her role as chase and too and a character who isn not much of a stretch artistically and but whom she presents delightfully and with a strong and believable performance. and william shatner (playing himself) absolutely steals a couple of scenes as the director of the show.	the supporting cast includes drena de niro (annie) and pedro damian (vargas) and james roday (camera man). well crafted and delivered and `showtime is a comedy that exactly what it is meant to be represent pure entertainment that provides plenty of laughs and a pleasant couple of hours that will have you chuckling for some time after. it the magic of the movies. positive .  .
