Movie Reviews of Moving/Greased Lightning
Movie Review: Moving along .....
Summary: 3 Stars
This double feature is enjoyable for what it is. Being a fan of the underrated second feature, MOVING and not really caring much for Greased Lightning I will limit my review to the second feature only. Pryor has to move his family and meet obstacles along the way and re-establish his family there. The story is essentially their trip and a series of misadventures with corrupt movers, dishonest home sellers, a skitzophrenic and more. All adding up to an amusing short waste of time. Its not Shakespear people, but it has moments of quiet hilarity and more low key humor than you'd expect from Richard Pryor.
The Pear Family lives next door to an obnoxious and crude neighbor that enjoys in tormenting Pryor at every opportunity he gets. To make matters worse Pryor is soon fired from his job and subjected to his neighbor's torments even more while he searches for another job.
Just as things start to get bleak for him he gets a job in Idaho where he hopes to turn things around. Initially his family balks at his proposal but soon all are on board with moving to Idaho. All but his eldest daughter who wishes to remain in town and pursue her dream man from High School. Reluctantly they let her stay with some kindly neighbors and endure a rough crew of movers that seem striaght out of prison.
To complicate things further Pryor needs someone to drive his prized car to the new home. He finds the perfect person in Brad, a straight laced college kid looking to make a few dollars. Brad is played by Dana Carvey in a early role. In my opinion the film could have used more of him as his storyline provides some geniune joy through the middle of the flick. Overall I think its worth a view or two. Middle of the road comedy not on par with Airplane! but not as bad as Caddyshack 2 by any means.
Movie Review: Moving / Greased Lightning
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are a Richard Pryor fan then Moving is funny and a good movie to watch and enjoy. Greased Lightning is a movie to show just how far we have come and still need to go.
