There’s a lot going on in the trailer for the upcoming Brett Ratner action comedy Tower Heist: Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz songs, Alan Alda as a Bernie Madoff-like villain, Gabourey Sidibe doing a Jamaican accent (while hitting on Eddie Murphy), Ben Stiller doing what appears to be a Queens accent, and Casey Affleck more or less reviving his role from the Ocean’s movies.
However, we’ll narrow down the plot as best we can. A group of disgruntled luxury apartment employees, lead by Stiller, attempt to take down their wealthiest resident (Alda), who defrauded all of them from their pension plans. With the help of a recently-released ex-con (Murphy) who has a knack for robberies and making fun of kids who endure seizures, a plan is in place to nab $20 million. Of course, what high-stakes, ensemble comedy would be complete without plenty of shenanigans to boot? Here there’s Stiller getting clotheslined by Téa Leoni and crashing the Macy’s Day Parade, Michael Peña buying ski hats instead of ski masks (for warmth!) and Matthew Broderick’s unconventional plan for surviving getting shot in the face (not surviving!). Watch the full clip below.Â
Trailer Heist is expected to break into theaters on Nov. 4.

I’m confused: Is Gaborey Sidibe playing the tower?
Wow…you are a jerk, Tee.
It’s obvious she’s playing an elephant.
Wow, Hollywood…the only two black people in the film play an ex-con who’s great at stealing, and a maid.
I thought maybe I was too sensitive. I saw the trailor and wondered why the guy in jail who specializes in robbery is being played by Eddie Murphy? Why not a Christopher Walken?. Eddie Murphy is amazing, he could have played any role in that film. Why that one? Am I overthinking this? Seems a bit racist to me.
Murphy could have played the Ben Stiller role, or the billionaire guy, but why do that when he can play an ex-con with a talent for stealing? Besides, everyone knows there are no black billionaires **sarcasm* *eyeroll*
It’s a Brettt Ratner film. Trust me, racial insensitivity will be the least of its problems.
Yeah, the stereotypical roles for both Murphy and Sibide bothered me, too. And even though Gabby pulled off that scene with deftness where she hits on Murphy’s character, the whole premise –”Ha, ha! A fat chick hitting on a homey who’s too fly to deal with anyone like her!”– soured my stomach some.
But they both seem to be doing some good (and funny) acting in the movie, so I’ll withold final judgment until I see the whole thnig.
A Ben Stiller movie…seems like a bad idea from the get-go.
