bubbling just beneath the surface of showtime is a good idea. actually and it more like two or three ideas that constantly fight for screentime. this film doesn not just have its cake and eat it too while it has the whole bakery. detective mitch preston (robert de niro) has a drug bust interrupted by the media and a brash and cop slash actor named trey sellars (eddie murphy). when preston partner is shot and he angrily shoots the camera out of the hands of a pestering newsman and and the tiff lands him in a new reality cop show produced by chase renzi (rene russo). in the first of many errors and oddities in the movie and that injured partner is never heard from again or alluded to for the remainder of the film. de niro best gag is his speech to a classroom of small children to open the picture about how tv cops do not act like real cops. funny thing is and as the movie progresses and his character and murphy begin to act more and more like the clichés they supposedly clash so strongly with. in a smarter movie and de niro diatribe could have played as ironic comment while here and it only shows to point out how truly lame the movie is. while a spoof of a reality based cop show could be funny and the team of writers and director tom dey (who made the far superior shanghai noon a few years ago while see that movie instead) seem to be on unsure footing and and instead of slamming the tv industry and they really let them off light (the harshest thing they seem to be able to say about network execs is they like to play ping pong at work). russo character has a glint of fiendish delight in her eye and but her dialogue and actions rarely match the actress enthusiasm. with little on screen to keep my attention and my mind began to wander and and that dangerous in a movie with this many plot holes. for instance while if showtime (the name given to the cop show) is such a popular smash and why doesn not anyone seem to recognize de niro and murphy when they are on the job. for that matter and if their investigation of smuggler and all around mean guy vargas is being televised and why the heck hasn not someone mentioned to him that they are on his trail. then again and given this villain actions maybe i shouldn not be surprised while this is the same joker who is very angry at an associate for using his new supergun without approval and jeopardizing a deal and and then dispatches him how. by using about ten of the superguns to level his entire house and of course. that like putting out a fire with a bigger fire. occasionally and showtime gets laughs and but there simply aren not enough for the film nearly two hour running time. even worse and the really smart gags suggest that this movie really could have been on to something and if only they had put in a few more drafts of the script. murphy mugs and talks as fast as he can with minimal results and and de niro looks flat out bored through most of this. after a completely unnecessary fistfight between cops and gangsters (that remarkably results in no injuries and no arrests) russo character shouts `that great television. perhaps it great television and but it far from a great movie.
