Movie Reviews of Which Way Is Up?
Movie Review: Triple the Richard Pryor....what a Deal !
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Pryor is at the top of his game in the 1970's flick. At the time I remember it being a minor hit and seeing it in the movie theatre with a group of friends. Between the social commentary (that is still relevant today) we laughed our heads off.
His main character is a hard working but down on his luck picker who ends up on the wrong side of the bosses running the produce conclomerate when he accidentally ends up connected to a Cesar Chevez-esque labor mvoement leader.
Exiled to LA his labor and lady problems appear to get better but unravel in the end with both comedic and sober results. He also plays the philandering preacher and his own grandfather, both of which are amazing and hilarious to watch.
This movie will show you why Richard was so great and why performers like Robin Willaims, Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall call him the "King" and pay hommage to him in their own movies.
Go For It.....FIVE STARS
Summary of Which Way Is Up?
A california fruit picker becomes a labor hero then a womanizing corporate flunky. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Richard Pryor Marilyn Coleman Run time: 94 minutes Rating: R Director: Michael SchultzThis 1977 American variation on Lina Wertmuller's The Seduction of Mimi, the story of a stupid man's troubles in sex and politics, is a run-of-the-mill Richard Pryor vehicle. Noteworthy only for its casting of two good actresses, Lonette McKee and Margaret Avery, and Pryor's multiple roles as an orange picker, a lecherous old man, and a minister, the film is made without a lot of care or effort to rise to Wertmuller's satiric accomplishment. --Tom Keogh
