    A great concept for a Comedy and an enjoyable rewatch of the 80?s classic. Thought provokingly comical.

    I love this film, it?s a classic 80's comedy!

    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 o...( read more)n 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.

    Funny movie, but not that funny.

    A funny film by Richard Pryor. Basically the story is about Pryor's character who must spend $30 million in 30 days so he can inherit $300 million. The film has some funny scenes and lines through out. Decent supporting cast. I got some laughs from it. Worth a one time watch.

    Brewster's Millions is not an original movie; it's been redone so many times (in fact it's in development once again) but I like it mainly do to the casting of Richard Pryor & John Candy. So Pryor must spend 30 million dollars (no assets to show for it) in 30 days to inherit 300...( read more) million..I just like to imagine what I would do w/ all that money; I don't think I could do it no assets showing but Pryor does & it's fun to watch him do it. Pryor's language is pretty tame in this & a rightful PG
