Richard Pryor, Randy Quiad, and Dana Carvey together, what more could you ask for. This is by far one of the funniest movies ever made. We play this VHS so much, that it is wearin'out. I am patiently,no desparately, waiting for the DVD to come out.

Now, keep in mind, I'm giving "moving" 5 stars because it's just one of those movies you can watch when you're so bored you don't think anything in the world can make you unbored, this movie is just so genuinly entertaining in its own unique way.
Moving stars Pryor as an engineer who was fired and needs to move from Jersey to Idaho for his new job. The troubles he goes through during this process are reminicent of the National Lampoon Vacation movies.
The first half of the movie most people won't find very amusing, just because the comedy seems really an aquired taste, those in tastes of something goofy and who like listening to Pryor complain, I find it hilarious. The second half of the film become really funny because of the movers Pryor hires to do the job are just such horrible workers and hearing Pryors compaints and seeing the looks on his face are just hysterical.
Overall, the movie is very cute and just plain old fashioned funny. It's an original idea that I haven't seen in any other movie. My only gripe is that I wish it would've been longer, maybe make the movers do other crazy stuff to Richard, he's just so funny to listen to.

With vhs tapes being phased out, it's a shame that a movie that
was as fun to watch as this one was is not out on dvd.

In late 1988 or early 1989 I asked the video rental clerk if he knew of a movie that was really terrific that I may not have heard of before and he said "Moving, with Richard Pryor, all our customers love it". As soon as I watched this movie I decided to find a copy for sale and buy it so I could watch it every year from there on out.


This movie isn't just funny folks, it transcends funny and enters the realm of hysterical. If you like any of the Vacation films you will love this one. And you will even see Randy Quaid again, only this time as the neighbor from hell that Arlo Pear and family are none too sorry to leave behind in New Jersey and also as his insane twin brother who happens to live next door to the new digs Arlo moves into in beautiful Boise Idaho, also from hell.


Why this film isn't out on DVD is a mystery of the highest order and should be dealt with. I have been waiting for years for this to come out on disc. How Moving slipped through the cracks of wide scale release to theatres I have no idea, but don't make the mistake of letting this one slip through the cracks of home video.

I could watch this movie 100 times straight and still laugh throughout. It is one of my favorate comedies. Richard Pryor is great as usual, but takes everything a step further... and funnier. A great movie, great cast, and funny plot. It all comes together perfect. 5 stars.

Richard Pryor and Randy Quaid play against each other perfectly in this movie. This movie may not be a great but definetely is entertaining and funny. Give it a look.

Wow, this is a damn funny movie! I saw this for the first time at my cousin's house shortly after it showed up on video. I have never forgotten this show. Dana Carvey's schitzophrenic car transporter guy is insanely hilarious.....Randy Quaid's character is like Clark Griswald's Brother in Law on steroids, and even King Kong Bundy is in the show (wait, that's a negative point, hehe). But seriously, this show is so damn funny you can watch it over and over.

Moving is one of my favorite Richard Pryor movies, and until it comes out on DVD, I highly recommend buying this tape so you can enjoy this comedy classic! Plus, Dana Carvey, Dave Thomas, and Randy Quaid are a riot here too!

I thought the service was great. And the movie was just as funny as it was the first I watched it in the 1980s.

This movie was pretty silly but it was funny and enjoyable and Richard Pryor was very good as the father of a family who have to move to another state and the scenes with him and and his wife their bratty teenage daughter who doesn't want to move and trys to wreck their chances of selling the house and the wacky things she did and what they did to prevent her from doing any more damage were very funny!
