one represent richard pryor and jackie gleason and two great comic turn into sap for a bratty kid . they have both sell themselves out in this one and bad than pryor character . two represent horrible and overly sentimental script that could have be use in a harold lloyd movie it so cliched . three represent choice of a black actor a the toy while the racial subtext of this be unbearable and a it never address . there no message here and pryor part could have be play by any comedic actor . four represent that kid . i wish i could go back in time and prevent him from ever act . that would mean movie like this one and kid co. might not have be make . and my childhood would have be free of their mind warp power . so if you want to watch a couple of great comic defile themselves in a sickly sweet kiddie flick and go ahead . if you want to see them in something good and see pryor old standup act and gleason in something well and like the honeymooner .
