After years in a mental institution, George (Gene Wilder) is finally released and tries to adapt to life outside of the hospital's walls. Things quickly become eventful for George, however, when he is mistaken for Abe Fielding (also Wilder), a wealthy man who recently vanished. When the shifty Eddie Dash (Richard Pryor) realizes the situation, he decides to seize the opportunity and have George pose as Fielding, resulting in plenty of odd and awkward moments.

Critics Consensus

So stubbornly unfunny that not even a reunited Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are enough to give it a spark, Another You is worse than none at all.

Don't know why this rates so low. Another classic by a great comedy duo. Don't believe the haters. If you didn't laugh you better check your pulse.

Vague, confusing, and pointless, but you get to watch Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor for a couple hours. There are worse ways to spend time.

Only die-hard fans of the Richard Pryor/ Gene Wilder comedy duo will be able to stomach this, this movie is a disaster from start to finish, Vanessa Williams was a pleasant surprise that ended strange with her being Pryor's love interest, same with Mercedes Ruehl falling for Gene Wilder, the producers gave these comedy legends some nice toys to play with on their last film together is the best I can give that...the contrived plot didn't work with the characters...the only thing that kept me watching was waiting for more Mercedes and Vanessa scenes, Mercedes looked really enticing in every scene she was in, what a mess of a film, I gave 2&1/2 just for the leads legendary careers, but this stunk

In the press kit for "Another You," the film's director, Maurice Phillips, speaks of a "real chemistry" between co-stars Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor that's "incredible to watch." Never trust a press kit.

Miami Herald

A painfully inept comedy that tries so very very hard to be goofy and off-the-wall that you wind up feeling sorry for the participants.

Rated: 1/4

Another You is ignominious, and seems impossible for anyone to like it. [Full review in Spanish]

Pryor and Wilder give stroll-through performances and hardly seem to know each other.

Degenerative illnesses aren't very conducive to comedy...How bad was the movie? It made Gene Wilder quit show business.
