Movie Reviews of Brewster's Millions
Movie Review: Classic Premise for Comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
PLOT
An amateur league baseball pitcher will inherit 300 million dollars from a distant relative on the proviso that he first spend 30 million dollars in 30 days. Various other conditions are also made painfully clear.
REVIEW
A well-constructed cast including Richard Pryor and John Candy, and decent character actors of yesteryear such as Lonette McKee, Stephen Collins, Jerry Orbach, Pat Hingle and Hume Cronyn, make the most of a great idea that is otherwise ill-served by a mediocre script and perfectly standard direction from the usually quite brilliant Walter Hill. Candy's chemistry with Pryor is first rate - why Pryor instead chose Gene Wilder as his long-term comedic partner will forever remain a baffling mystery.
While Brewster's Millions is not the funniest film of the 80s, certainly there are moments of hilarity here. Watch for a side-splitting cameo from Rick Moranis.
