Love a good buddy cop movie and this ticks all the right boxes for me, Arguments, Actions and most of all Amusement.

I skipped this at the time because I don't like DeNiro in comedies. This one he makes a point of playing 95% of it straight, which helps a great deal. If I had to categorise this it'd be as "fun crap". Its a watchable film but its not very good. But that is a big step up on most of DeNiro's comedies, which are just totally unwatchable.

Funny in parts. Good concept but not very good film.

A buddy-cop spoof that relies on the chemistry between its co-stars.

So thankfully De Niro and Murphy don't put in one of their recent "shut up and give me the check" performances.

Very funny. Love the outtakes at the end!

Making a film with an off form Murphy & DiNiro is just asking for trouble.

It could've been an interesting satire on reality television but instead we get a drab cop comedy with a few okay laughs but not much else.

When I think of Showtime I think also of "The Hard Way" with James Woods and Michael J Fox, which is a cooler film for it's eighties aesthetic and for just being kind of a weird film with amazing plot holes that i wish i could go into but i will have to re-watch and submit a review of that one. Showtime hits all the obvious beats right when you expect them to, not really a ton of surprise here. There were some genuinely funny bits.
