A last attempt to squeeze some laughs out of the team of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, Another You mostly conjures up pleasant memories of Silver Streak and Stir Crazy. Pryor plays a con man forced to tend a pathological liar (Wilder), who's immediately mistaken as a missing millionaire--a mistake that could pay off big. The storyline actually holds promise as a classic screwball comedy outline, but the movie doesn't build any snap or crackle, and promising set-ups dribble away. Even the once-electric chemistry between the stars has faded. Wilder displays that eerie sadness and stillness he brings to his comedic roles, but here he looks stranded. Pryor's ferocious talent is muted and his onscreen energy is turned down low; his reliance on easy profanity feels a little desperate. This was his final starring role before illness took him out of movies. --Robert Horton
Product Description
Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder. This classic comedy duo is back for a fourth outrageous pairing as they play a couple of harmless hoodlums-one lies for fun, the other lies for money. 1991/color/94 min/R/widescreen.

I am a huge fan of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. I loved Stir Crazy and Silver Streak. When this movie came out, I made sure to see it on opening day. I have never been so disappointed in a movie.
This movie starts bad and gets worse. The script is so bad that Wilder and Pryor look like they're embarrassed to be acting in it. As the movie went on, I held on to what little hope I had that the movie would improve. It didn't. When I thought things couldn't get any worse, the yodeling scene came on. At that point, I too became embarrassed for having witnessed this.
I am only giving this film one star because Amazon has not allowed reviewers to give negative stars yet.

I got this movie in a three pack with other Pryror and Wilder movies. Needless to say this is the worst of the bunch. This movie is not really all that funny and is a bit confusing. I dont recommend this movie to anyone who wants too see a comedy. Stir Crazy or Hear No Evil See No Evil is a much better route.

This is another one of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor's funniest movies in the world. They are hilarious, and so is this movie. I didn't stop laughing through the whole movie. I love this movie, and also every other one with Pryor/Wilder in it. My favorite part of this movie was when Dave aka Abe Fielding, "comes back from the dead" and starts yodeling. If you want to laugh, watch this movie and every time you even think about it after you watch it, you'll crack up. I can't even see why that guy up there says it's boring.

A different kind of a story, very interesting, holds your interest, surprises, laughs, and a unique view of life.
