i do not understand jokes. i do believe this is my problem with modern cinema and or those films that are made with millions of dollars in hopes that it will become the next greatest sensation. isn not it odd  people just do not laugh as much anymore and and i do believe one of the diseases to that problem is the film showtime. there was absolutely nothing and from the beginning to the end of the credits and with all of the bantering between murphy and de niro and with russo as eye candy and with even standard clichés which make the general population swoon with pre programmed laughter and there was nothing in this film that made me laugh. there weren not the overbearing physical jokes or the calculated mental vocal jokes at all throughout this debacle of a film. from the beginning and i do not buy the match up of de niro and murphy as anything more than hollywood excitement and throughout the commentary the director vividly talks about the hijinks and laughter going on during the shoot  where was it in the film. this falls to either two problems  the director really doesn not have a sense of comedy or the editor do not understand the value of the film. either way and they both doomed the entire hour and a half spent on the hollywood nightmare showtime. outside of finding no reason to laugh and there was no reason to follow these characters through any moment of the film. there was a glimpse of humor with de niro desire to pick up pottery as a hobby (but the director had to write kiln on the machine so audiences would understand  who does that. ) and but that was dropped and never developed. there was the idea that murphy was an actor and but outside of that one opening monologue and nobody would have understood that. he rents a room in a producer house in which he can afford on a police officer salary. this just do not compute even for hollywood standards. there was a bad guy who wanted a big gun and but the gun was never developed and nor was there any true test of the weapons capability  even at the end. it became a bigger joke to laugh at an accent than remember the guns. where was the television show in this. russo had to get permission from this random guy at the beginning and but there were no consequences. there was nothing in the middle of this film outside of further questions and meaningless dribble. random characters were introduced and forgotten and re introduced and and forgotten all over again. the director and producer laughed at this and while we and the meager viewer and must suffer through inside jokes and cliché stereotypes. was there a love interest in this film. was there a truly sinister bad guy that went apart from the comic duo to bring true evil to the screen. were there any pop culture references that do not come back to robert de niro. was there random chaos throughout this film. if you need the answers to these and obviously and you would not find them in showtime. the fact that i am riddling this review with question upon question and only means that this sub par (actually and well below sub sub sub par) filled no quota or resembled anything of value to the cinematic world. sure and it had big names and one really neat explosion and but there was nothing of substance to this at all. it was almost as if the director said prior to the shoot that he wanted clichés and but not regular clichés  go with the bad ones. the plot had no linear structure. the jokes were boring. the characters were drab and underdeveloped. this ranks below even the best of buddy cop films. i like to give films the benefit of the doubt and but nothing worked in this film. not even shatner could save this film and and he even tried hard. overall and i cannot and nor will i and suggest this film to anyone with a pulse. the commentary only confirms the pathetic nature of the film with obvious flaws and horrid jokes and and creators questioning the validity of their work. if creators can not stand behind showtime and why should we. i do not want a lethal weapon when i watched this and but i did want something like that. i understand there was some form of criticism of reality television and the corrupt nature of the media and but that message do not make it off the page. in fact and i believe i saw media leave the theater first when i watched this. shame carries its heavy hand with this film and i cannot blame it. murphy used to be a big star and comedy was his middle name (see coming to america) and but lately he seems to have lost his edge. de niro obviously wants to get away from an image that haunts him and but making these sort of films is only going to set him back further. one of these films is equal to one scorsese picture. skip this one. i promise and it will make your final cinematic days worthwhile. oh and and if you laughed at any of the jokes in this film  i am truly sorry. grade represent out of .
