Movie Reviews of The Toy
Movie Review: The Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is outstanding! Richard Pryor is incredibly funny. A rich man's son goes to his Dad's store to pick out a toy and sees Richard Pyror so asks for him. It is hilarious and a must for anyone who likes a good comedy.
Summary of The Toy
An underemployed reporter finds himself literally purchased as a toy for a rich spoiled brat. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/23/2004 Starring: Ned Beatty Richard Pryor Run time: 102 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Richard DonnerThis well-packaged 1983 remake of the French comedy Le Jouet features two legendary actors in an unlikely pairing. Richard Pryor (Live on the Sunset Strip, Stir Crazy) plays a down on his luck writer who is talked into taking a job as a plaything for the spoiled rich kid of billionaire Jackie Gleason (The Hustler), who just can't communicate with his own son. Amidst a constant stream of abuse and slapstick adventures, Pryor manages to bring out the heart in both father and son and bring them closer together, as he fights to retain his own dignity. Director Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon) concentrates on the outlandish set pieces and wisely leaves the comic timing up to the two old pros, making The Toy an entertaining diversion. --Robert Lane
