Showtime

Lights.Camera.Aggravation.

Showtime is fun time, an action/comedy tale of mismatched LAPD partners (Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy) directed by Tom Dey (Shanghai Noon).De Niro, wearing a slow-burn scowl like a badge, plays Mitch, a cop's cop forced by his superiors to be the focus of a reality TV series.Murphy plays Trey, a camera-ready officer more eager to hit his mark than hit the streets.Backed by a ratings-obsessed producer (Rene Russo) and coached in the finer points of copdom by a veteran star (William Shatner, spoofing his T.J. Hooker), Mitch and Trey become America's favorite buddy cops.But reel life soon gives way to the real.A brutal crimelord must be stopped - and that's where the shrapnel hits the fan.
