The CinePearl Take

Trading Places is a 1980s English film in the christmas mould. John Landis directs and the script comes from Timothy Harris. With 13 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1983, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 116 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
