Trading Places

A wealthy investor and a streetwise con artist have their lives swapped through a cruel wager by two powerful millionaires. As one adjusts to privilege and the other struggles with sudden poverty, the pair gradually confront the assumptions behind wealth, opportunity, and social status.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy fast, irreverent comedies with social themes, lively performances, and reversal-of-fortune stories like A Fish Called Wanda; Not for you if dated humor or offensive stereotypes are deal-breakers.
