Vincent S. @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Sep 15 My favorite Pryor/Wilder movie by a mile! I laughed a lot and it’s a great prison escape movie too, maybe the best! Brilliantly written!

Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Georg Stanford Brown, Miguel Angel Suarez, Craig T. Nelson, Barry Corbin, Erland Van Lidth, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. The plot of the movie was entertaining and thrilling. It's about planning a jailbreak but with a comedic plot to it. If you haven't seen this classic movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. See more Taylor L 01/19/2023 Stir Crazy has a plot shaped like a Candy Land board, with its two leads hopping around as blue-collar New Yorkers, cross-country van dwellers, costumed mascots, first-time prisoners, and ultimately rodeo riders. The first half is quick-paced and keeps the gags high, but when the film starts to invest everything it's got into a an escape plan that's heavy on the bronco-busting and bullriding, it loses steam towards the end. Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were a prolific but unusual duo, because they didn't really provide a lot of contrast to one another that frequently; they were both the 'funny men' and most of the jokes here revolve around exasperated reaction shots of the two of them, going over the top with their physical comedy. They're basically just two guys in the same boat, but that's its own kind of humor, and the first hour or so is a testament to how well the two paired together even if they were basically performing the same role (their entrance into the jail, chests puffed out acting all bad, is still great). When the film transitions away from its own (better) version of The Longest Yard to a pretty dry, somber prison break, that's where the film falls apart. How does a marketing plan that involves mascots advertising your own bank - to customers that are already in the bank - really make sense? (2.5/5) See more Kit V 09/24/2022 For any Gene Wider or Richard prior fan, this one is a must and it is good, very very good entertainment. An above-average prison yarn that is above funny and very original. Prior is at his best and Wilder could not be funnier. It works and the sunshine comes out of the screen right at you. Give it s try, no disappointments to be found here. See more Read all reviews
