But what's most visible in the movie is the engaging acting. Murphy and Aykroyd are perfect foils for each other.

It's easily the best of the movies I've seen by the various "Saturday Night Live" alumni, and part of the reason it's funny and satisfying is that it doesn't strain. [09 Jun 1983]

It's the funniest new movie on town. [July 22, 1983]

Trading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.

Empire
Saturday Night Live activist Murphy, capitalising on the promise he showed in "48 Hrs.," steals the show as the quick-witted Billy Ray Valentine in what is certainly more mainstream fare than the earlier SNL staffed capers.
