Rating: 3/4 stars.
This is a hard to explain Pryor/Wilder film. Its everyone's favorite, but still, nothing has came close to beating See No Evil, Hear No Evil with the exception of Another You. This is a Pryor/Wilder movie that I like, but I dont think it lives up to its hype. Now sure its good and some jokes in it are hysterically funny. It just is not my favorite. Some would agree, but I think its because of all the problems Ive heard about it like Pryor deeming things as racist and how the duo didnt get along on the set of this. I believe and blame those reasons why I didnt enjoy it to the fullest extent. Just hear me out, I liked it. But it'll take some funny jokes to beat See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
Pryor and Wilder play Harry and Skip two friends who after fired from their job, take on to be dancing woodpeckers promoting a bank. When leaving the job, two thieves come in dressed in the woodpecker outfits and rob the bank. Upon returning to the bank, Skip and Harry are arrested and wrongly thrown in jail. The two friends try to cope with being in prison, but when the warren realizes that Skip is a good bullrider, he wants to put him in the Prison Competition of being the representative for the jail in the competition.
Its a crazy movie, with a lot of things happening, but its an interesting and funny 1980s film. Ive heard a show follows the movie in a way, but still I read terrible reviews of it and as far to my knowledge no Dvd of the show exsists. When viewing one episode, I questioned how it was greenlite? Were the producers that desparate for money they make a TV show on a movie that has no actors from the filmand plays a half assed, almost unwatchable show on the original film? Of course. What did you expect? A show with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder? Get real.
Id also like to note that there is only one movie I need to watch by Pryor/Wilder to state that I have watched everyone and that is Silver Streak which I will watch sometime this month. Dont know much about it, but I highly doubt it will beat See No Evil, Hear No Evil. If Another You couldnt I really dont see what else can. Most of their films were panned by critics, but fan reception sores for all four of their films. So all in all, their another duo thats a bit underrated, but the statements from the critics are far from the truth. If Silver Streak is good, I will conclude my Pryor/Wilder experience saying, they never made a bad film together.
Starring: Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Miguel Angel Suarez, Georg Stanford Brown, JoBeth Williams. Directed by: Sidney Poitier.
