It's not too long before Wilder figures out a way to make a little dough at the expense of his impaired charge. Together they manage to get involved in an inheritance scam that's loaded with troubles and trials for all. It's apparent to most viewers that the Richard Pryor appearing in this film is a far cry from the actor most have seen previously; this is the first film undertaken by Pryor following a very serious illness. ~ Rovi

Critic Reviews

Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
Degenerative illnesses aren't very conducive to comedy...How bad was the movie? It made Gene Wilder quit show business.
Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
The final and worst of the four Gene Wilder-Richard Pryor movies.
Michael H. Price, Fort Worth Business Press
Pathetic attempt to recapture the vanished magic of a once-effective comedy team.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor have been a brilliant team in the past. Such is so plainly not the case in this awful little misfire.

Sempre gostei dos filmes da dupla Wilder e Pryor. Este Ãºltimo filme dos dois juntos, entretanto, para mim, nÃ£o Ã (C) o melhor. Decepcionante e mal escrito.

Not a great film, Wilder and Pryor's least funny collaboration. Pryor looks ill and there isn't enough of them on screen together. You forgive it though because they are both as watchable as they are likable.
