Movie Review: Great movie and great lesson
Summary: 5 Stars

BE sure to watch this if you hit the lottery. Better to let Richard Prior make the mistakes and not you. Funny entertaining. A lot of fun to watch.

Movie Review: Extremely Funny Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I've never really been a huge fan of most of Richard Pryor's films, but I have to say that "Brewster's Millions" is a very funny movie.

The film revolves around Monty Brewster, a baseball player with dreams of making it to the major leagues. One day he discovers that an uncle he knew nothing about has left him an inheritance because Monty is his only living relative. Monty's uncle tells him, via video before he died, that he wants Monty to absolutely hate spending money. He wants to test him. So Monty has a decision to make. He can either spend $30 million in 30 days WITHOUT having any assets and ultimately inherit $300 million or he can take $1 million and be safe. Of course Monty chooses to go for the $300 million, and what happens next are some of the craziest, funniest, and kindness acts you'll ever see in a film. I won't give away the ending, but you'll be amazed at how hard it is to spend $30 millions and not have any assets to back it up.

John Candy does a good job playing Monty's best friend in the film. It's a shame that we lost him so many years ago. It's also a shame that Richard Pryor can no longer perform like he used to due to his illness.

I would highly suggest this film because it is not only funny, but it also wraps you up into the lives and some incredibly funny and fortunate people!

Movie Review: RIchard Pryor - An American Original
Summary: 4 Stars

I've watched this film a couple of times over the last 25 years and it remains funny, manic and endearing. And Richard Pryor is still a gem of an actor. Some people may find him hammy, but I actually find him quite enjoyable and believable. There are human moments where you realise how unique an actor Richard Pryor was. He was one of a kind. Plus there weren't many Black actors in his position at the time, before or since. That's one thing that strikes me as I watch it today - unless you count a Jamie Foxx. Or Chris Rock, etc - but it's not quite the same. Pryor had a different presence that made him "everyman" and yet this strangely comedic, neurotic but capable character.

John Candy is actually youthful and exuberant in this too. Rick Moranis has a cameo too. Great to watch.

Brewster's Millions is a lot better than so many other comedies today, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets dusted from the vaults again by Hollywood...I actually think director Walter Hill (48 hours) did a good job. This really holds up well.
