Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars I Could Not Stop Laughing, April 15, 2000

By	Heather (MICHIGAN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Another You [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Richard Pryor is a comedian!, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Another You [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the better Wilder/Pryor movies that I've seen. The plot isn't as important as the character development. And who are whackier characters than Wilder and Pryor? This film is all about controlling one's destiny. This movie takes you on a hilarious journey through the eyes of two crazy geniouses. Their stories are wonderful and their teamwork is pure chemistry. If you like this movie, I would also recommend "Bingo Long and the Traveling All-Stars" and "Shakes the Clown".

5.0 out of 5 stars A funny film!, October 13, 2004

By	andy8047 (Nokomis,Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This film was the most recent for both its stars Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. They did three other films together,1976's SILVER STREAK with Jill Clayburgh,1980's STIR CRAZY and 1989's SEE NO EVIL HEAR NO EVIL. In this film Pryor is a conman who befriends Wilder. Wilder's character does a great deal of lying(he plays a dual role). Great support from Stephen Lang and Mercedes Ruehl. Ruehl is Elaine,the wife of Wilder's character. Memorable scenes include Wilder's character being scared by Frankenstein in a haunted mansion,also faking a corpse at a funeral(he thanks those who attended). Vanessa Williams is Gloria,who Pryor's character takes romantic interest in. In the final scene,Pryor,Wilder,Ruehl and Williams are on vacation in Hawaii. Pryor and Wilder have a picture taken with them both holding a sign that reads "Partners Forever". Great film!
