This film was to be the last made featuring the comedy duo of Pryor and Wilder and its not bad.
Its by no means as good as Stir Crazy, few are, but I found it on par with See no Evil and condidering the condition of Pryor at the time,MS, he pulled out a good performance.
The film actualy started out a bit poor and predictable but it did get better and funnier as it went along. One scene had Pryor at the beginning pretending to be a great street saxophanist,using a tape recorder, which is fairly corny, however it makes up for it later when Pryor is at a gig and a man who saw him playing earlier in the street scene is on stage playing guitar (looks VERY much like Andy Summers from the Police).
He announces Pryor as one the GREAT saxaphone players in the world and you can guess the rest, VERY funny scene.
Wilder's response to being recognised as someone else is great comedy too, had me in stitches, you'd really believe he actually new these people!
It may have done poorly at the box office but its certainly not that bad and is a worthy addition to anyones comedy collection!
3 and a half stars in my book!

Another You is a somewhat confused film which didn't quite know when to be a drama or a comedy - and falling between both genres, it suffers somewhat.
It lacks the big laughs of any of the previous collaborations between Pryor and Wilder - but there are some to be had.
In this film, Pryor plays a streetwise Hollywood con man named Eddie Dash who, as part of his probation deal has to look after a man named George (Wilder). What Eddie knows is that George has spent time in a mental institution. What he isn't prepared for is that the man is a congenital liar that makes him look like a babe in the hood - and neither of them know that George is a lynchpin for a scam himself!
There are fine performances from Pryor and Wilder here - though Richard is clearly ill with MS, he is a true professional and of course, gets the biggest laughs thanks to his coarse brand of humour and fast talk.
Wilder plays the usual romantic lead - though this one is more twisted than most of his characters of his later career - he allows himself to gain a touch of the mania that he showed in classics like Young Frankenstein here, but doesn't truly get into the part as you'd expect.
Mercedes Ruehl is superb as the frosty love interest Elaine, and there are some good performances from the support cast overall, with one actor doing very credible impersonations of Peter Falk and William Shatner in the early asylum scenes.
Cameos from Vanessa Williams and Police guitarist Andy Summers add to the fun - but without Pryor and Wilder in the lead roles, this film would be eminently forgettable.
A mixed bag, but give it a try - you might like it.
Pryor also gives us an extra treat as well with a unique voiceover for the Tri Star pegasus as the titles roll in.
Bless him.

Another Great Film
Not a success at the Box Office and yet it is for me another great Wilder/Pryor partnership movie. Apparently there were alot of off-set issues while filming but it doesn't show. Read more

Good, but not great...
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor have always been a great pair on screen. This is their last film, and by far, has to be the worst. Read more
