While Pryor is perfectly adequate in the role, it hardly does justice to his talents, which here are largely confined to rolling his eyes in mute agony.

It pays handsomely to hang on tight and enjoy the ride. There's always some surprises when Richard Pryor takes the stage.

...a rather epic bomb that's been justifiably forgotten in the years since its 1988 release.

A pathetic comedy where the highlight is an inside joke that Richard Pryor's character flips the bird with the wrong finger.
