Movie Reviews of Uptown Saturday Night
Movie Review: An All-Time Favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of the three comedies starring Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier -- 1974's UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT, 1975's LET'S DO IT AGAIN and 1977's A PIECE OF THE ACTION -- this one has always been my favorite, even though the other two were fabulous as well. This classic, non-stop laugh-fest centers around two down-on-their-luck best-buddy hustlers (played by no other than Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier) who happen to con their way into an after-hours nightclub, only to end up being robbed by one of the local gangs. Meanwhile, back at home, one of them discovers that the numbers he played in the lottery, were, in fact, the winning numbers; but then he realizes that the ticket--the winning ticket--that he had was in his wallet...which was stolen during the stick-up at the after-hours club.
And from there, the action begins. The boys go a little "undercover," by scouting out every local gangster, to see which one has got possession of the ticket, and some of the gags they encounter in the process make it all-the-more fun; it's *absolutely* hilarious! Features Harry Belafonte, Flip Wilson, Rosalind Cash, and a cameo appearance by Richard Pryor. Highly recommended if you want a non-stop laugh fest.
Movie Review: Funny! Hilarious! Gut Busting!
Summary: 5 Stars
Is such a movie as this one. Bill and Sydney have always starred well as a duo. They're about the only two guys I know that can pull off roles as crooks, turn it into comedy and get away with it. But that takes nothing away from Calvin Lockhart and Harry Bellafonte. Everyone in this movie will have you busting your gut laughing. Bunch of fools (but in a funny way). I guess when you lose a lotto ticket, you go thru a lot trying to get it back. But if these clowns had been where they were supposed to be, instead of partying up at Zenobia's, they wouldn't have found themselves in such a mess. I guess they thought the wives wouldn't know they'd been up to no good.
They went from getting robbed, to get beaten up by a 4 foot 10 guy, to getting hooked up with some gangsters to ending up jumping into the river all because they were hard-headed. But it was all good. Nice clean comedy. Own this one. It's well worth being in your collection!
Movie Review: Watch This Movie Every Saturday!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I encourage everyone to watch this movie every Saturday. Just like you were to watch the 'Saturday karate flicks'. Great movie, make sure you have your buttered popcorn, soda pop, pudding pops, Fat Albert cartoon collection after this movie is over, surround sound speaker volume up,(, Caption, also for those that love to read.) sit back, for laughter. You can learn something from Mister Wilson (the preacher in the movie), don't sleep during his 'Sermon'.-LOL Again, great movie. Let's Do It Again, is a great movie, also. Mister Cosby & Poitier should make something (for 2006 or future) for old times. Instruct individuals, like me, on how to wear my garments. Thank you, Mister Cosby & Poitier for giving me instructions on how to dress. (<--That was not a joke.) Peace to all.Movie Review: great to get it on DVD

finally One of My favorite films Ever has made it to DVD.Sidney Poiter is a true Tralblazer. the soul brother truly flipped the Hollywood Script.this is the first of the cool Trilogys he did with Bill Cosby. 80's Cos was all Smoothed out&a Modern Day Mr.Cleaver but on this film&the other two he did with sidney Poiter Bill cosby was a Funky soul brother who was funny&Had His Screen Game down pat.Harry belefonte is on point here as is Calvin Lockhart(a very underrated Cat) Paula Clark is a Foxy Momma&rocking the Afro Puffs.Roscoe Lee brown is cool as well&so is the rest of the cast.Much Dap to Brother Dr.Todd Boyd whose commentary knocks it out the Box.Movie Review: Wonderful!
