The Dukes want to know if it's heritage that made their managing director Winthorpe well mannered and educated or environment that made Valentine a street hustler, so they plant false evidence on Winthorpe and bring him to the streets and make Valentine their managing director. That's the basic story, it's pretty funny and nice to watch, there's some pretty unnecessary topless scenes with Ophelia (Jamie Lee Curtis), which is kind of wierd. The rest of the movie shows how Valentine and Winthorpe find out the Dukes plan and get their revenge. I mean, it's not a new story but the expressions given by Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd are priceless. Overall it's a good comedy movie, so definitely watch it.
