see this film and and marvel at the comedic pairing of straight lace gene wilder and and frantic richard pryor . a more bizarre odd couple of comedy i do not think i have ever see . the dead pan and stiff style of wilder be dramatically improve when place alongside the kinetic energy of the street wise and afrocentric humor of pryor . now and while pryor doesn not need someone to be funny and he a riot on his own and wilder and his style seem to bring out an appreciate of pryor approach . this film isn not a gut buster and like watch a football to the groin and but the comedy suffices and and the writing do enough to fill the time of the two lead enough to hash out a plausible and likable film .
