Sidney Poitier directed (sadly without much distinction) this 1980 comedy teaming Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor as New York knuckleheads who try their luck in California and are accused of robbing a bank. Most of the laughs concern their survival strategies in prison (at one point, Wilder decides to "reach out and talk" to some hulking murderer) and their plans to escape. Both performers are so brilliant in any situation that they give this film plenty of funny moments (one or two of which became instantly classic), but this is not exactly a film for the ages. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Comedy Classic, 2 Oct 2002
By DarkAvenger (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This really is a fantastic film- Wilder and Pryor at the comedic best. The film is one of those rare gems which gets better every time you watch it. It's full of eminently quotable lines and is definitely one to watch wih the lads.

To say more would be pointless- you can't get a flavour of this film until you watch it. Suffice to say that this is the best film either Wilder or Pryor ever made, either together or separately.

Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely funny, 14 Jun 2002
This review is from: Stir Crazy [VHS] [1980] (VHS Tape)
This really is comedy at its best.

Two friends are fired from their jobs in New York and decide to travel across the country to a place with more beaches and beautiful women. On the way they take various jobs until they are framed and found guilty of a bank job.

They are then sentenced to 120 years imprisonment and the fun then starts.

Watch this film if you enjoy a good comedy, it really will make you laugh and the ending will leave you extremely satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Stir Crazy" What a cracker., 10 Aug 2000
By pritpalmatharu@hotmail.com (Wolverhampton, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stir Crazy [VHS] [1980] (VHS Tape)
This is one of the funniest movies ever, classic comedy with Pryor and Wilder at their best. This films is a barrel of laughs, and it contains the best dialogue ever. At this cheap price, if you have not seen it, you must buy it.
