This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A sad look at the waning talent and life of Richard Pryor.Rife with clumsy setups, lead-balloon jokes and worn-to-death clichés, this movie is a snooze-fest from beginning to end.There is a reason this movie is not even on DVD: there is not demand for this dreck. I only stopped by to write this review as a warning to others not to get suckered into watching this film like I did, simply because it has Richard Pryor's name on it.Ice Cube's role in "Are We There Yet" is to his rapping career as this movie is to Richard Pryor's comedy legacy.

When it first came out in '88, I read in the newspaper that it was not well received.Years later I watched it again and I now thing it's one of the best comedies out.Randy Quaid and Richard Prior made pure humour.It would have been great to see them both in something much more intense.Each great in their own way, as a team they would be double the trouble and 5 times the fun.Far better than any Adam Sandler or Seth Rogan movie made and better than the Sandler/Rogan actors themselves.Nothing enormously award winning, but a pleasurable waste of time.

In this silly, but fun comedy from director Alan Metter(Back To School), Richard Pryor plays an engineer finds what seems to be the perfect job. The only problem is that the job is in Idaho, which means that his family would have to sell their home in Chicago and move out to Idaho. Several disasters occur as Pryor attempts to pack up and move across country, everything that could possibly go wrong does. The film is not exactly a laugh fest, but Pryor keeps the film entertaining with his great comic energy. Dave Thomas and Dana Carvey are fun in supporting roles, as well as Rodney Dangerfield as a gambling loan officer. Overall, a harmless film that benefits greatly from the presence of Pryor. 5.8/10.

This is one of my top ten movies as far as keeping me laughing the length of the film. Pryor does a fabulous job as Arlo Pear, the ultimate victim of a cruel and unfortunate set of events. Randy Quaid is great in two roles as the psychotic neighbor(s). The movers are great, Dana Carvey is great too. Just one of those movies I had to buy for my own collection. I love getting it out and watching it every so often and its as fresh as it was the first time I saw it. I will need to upgrade my VHS copy to DVD, if possible. Highly recommend it.
