As well as being an original comic talent, Richard Pryor has also had the dubious distinction of appearing in a plethora of truly execrable movies. The man has a homing instinct for a dreadful script and this is certainly one of them. This two-handed comedy — Gene Wilder is Pryor's partner in puerile nonsense in their third movie together — manages to waste both men's ability and bore and deeply offend most people at the same time. Quite a feat. Their characters are deaf and blind respectively and the movie hinges on a series of appalling jokes and unoriginal situations, wrapped around a makeshift murder plot.
"...[Wilder and Pryor] have never worked better together....It would be difficult to imagine a more benign or entertaining mass-market movie..."
