Trading Places [SEP] Critical response
"Trading Places" received generally positive reviews from critics. Reviewers compared it to the socially conscious comedies of the 1930s and 1940s, like "My Man Godfrey" (1936), "Easy Living" (1937), "Christmas in July" (1940), and "Sullivan's Travels" (1941) by directors like Preston Sturges, Frank Capra, and Gregory La Cava. Janet Maslin said that the "likable" film owed a debt to the screwball comedy genre. She continued, "Preston Sturges might have made a movie like "Trading Places" - if he'd had a little less inspiration and a lot more money." Gary Arnold said the film was too inconsistent to be compared to those older films.
