Freakin' hilarious!!! An 80's classic. So sad to know this comedic legend is no longer with us. Pryor really knew comedy!!!

Good 80's fun! It's quite sad though that John Candy and Richard Pryor are no longer with us these days, because they sure brought a lot of splendor to the comedy world in their time, which this movie is a fairly good example of (even if it's pretty average on the whole). Wherever the two of them are now, I'm sure they're still spreading a lot joy and happiness around them, while their work and achievements here will always remain legendary.

MCT:July 6, 2008A really fun 80's comedy; All the characters are likable, you root for the good guys the whole time and there's some great comedic acting by Richard Pryor and John Candy. It's not a fantastic film, but I had so much fun watching it, there weren't many flaws. Don't expect a lot when you watch it, just sit back and enjoy it.

OK so Brewster's Millions isn't the best of movies but it does capture the 80's comedy scene well. Stars who had so much to offer but were rarely given films to complement that, however i still feel these are string and more basically humerous films that much driven out nowdays. John Candy is a legend and he works well in the support act, Richard Pryor does well in his lead tho.

MCT:March 5, 2008Had potential but ended really badly. There were some good chuckle moments and John Candy was enjoyable as always.

Funny flick. Silly, of course, but it has its moments. I recall enjoying it, back in the day. Of course, the premise is a bit goofy: of COURSE you can easily blow that amount given the rules. But then you wouldn't have much of a movie, would you?

remember being so excited about this when I was younger. Richard Pryor and John Candy! Awesome! I still liked it, but I really would have to see it as an adult to judge if it's any good or not. It's Walter Hill, it can't be that bad.

Brewster is a minor league baseball player. Unknown to him, he had a (recently deceased) rich relative. In order to test if Brewster knows the value of money, he is given the task of disposing of $30m in 30 days. Brewster isn't allowed to have any assets to show for the $30m or waste the money in any way. If successful, Brewster gets to inherit $300m. The biggest problem of all however, is that Brewster can't tell anyone what he's doing, so everyone thinks he's crazy. Add to this the fact that if he fails, two scheming trustees will get their hands on the money, Brewster's task is not an easy one.

01-29-08 --What would you do if you had to spend 30 million dollars in 30 days without anything to show for it when it was over? Well, you'll find yourself asking... yourself this very question. Loved this movie as a kid and though it is dated and very 80's I still love it and can watch it again, and again.

Fun, but forgettable 80's comedy with and enjoyabe premise. While spending 30 million dollars in 30 days might sound fun, the idea gets stale pretty quickly. The biggest asset this film has going for it is the two stars. Pryor and Candy are great fun and their talent is obvious on screen. Such a shame they are both gone. I was more shocked to see Richard Pryor go for over 90 minutes without a single F bomb. Worth a look, but don't be expecting any huge belly laughs.
-
MCT:January 4, 2008Brilliant concept... no wonder this movie has been re made so many times. How would you spend $30,000,000 in 30 days and have nothing to show for it, without giving it away? In 2008 it might be easy but in 1985 it was really difficult.

classic comedy with pryor (who I often find NOT funny) being hilarious and john candy in great from. Not an original theme but the mix of friendship, greed and loyalty mix very well. Great for the whole family

very funny movie with John and Richard now that both of them are gone two comedians who were fun to watch

Richard Pryor makes me cry...both because he is so funny I can't stop the tears rolling, and because I truly miss his screen presence...he was always at his best on the stage however, or fucked out of his skull ruining some poor journo's interview scoop...not bad in Lost Highway either.

personally I think I would have a hard time spending all the money at that time. But now, I don't think it would be that hard to do.

An interesting concept, but Pryor's incessant babbling wears thin very quickly. Probably better off seeking out one of the older versions (either 1935 or 1945), though as I haven't seen either I cannot recommend them.

not exactly the best film by anybody involved, but with the talent, it's impossible to be a bad movie

One of Richard Pryor's better films. Recently re-made as Mr Deeds I think. In order to inherit a huge fortune his has to spend $30 million in 30 days, without giving it away. Easier said than done.
-
MCT:June 28, 2007What would you do if you had to spend 30 million dollars in 30 days in order to inherit the real money of 300 million dollars? Sounds easy right? Here's the catch.....You can't acquire any assets. All you can own is the clothes on your back you came in with! Oh by the way, if you tell anyone what you have to do you automatically forfeit the cash.......Richard Pryor and John Candy were histerically funny in this comedy. 300 million, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO GET THAT MONEY?

How would you spend $30 million in 30 days without leaving any assets? Richard Pryor and John Candy are terrific in this comedy about a man who has to do just that in order to inherit $300 million.
I love his team's baseball field with the train that runs through the outfield. LOL!
