Summary: Fast and Funny
Review: Cosby and Potier exhibited good chemistry together in the wild comedy about two friends in search of a stolen lottery ticket. This film is also somewhat of a who's who in African-American entertainment, with Harry Belafonte, Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, among some of the talent filling in the roles. Look for an extremely funny scene featuring Harold Nicholas (of the Nicholas brothers).

Summary: great to get it on DVD
Review: finally One of My favorite films Ever has made it to DVD.Sidney Poiter is a true Tralblazer. the soul brother truly flipped the Hollywood Script.this is the first of the cool Trilogys he did with Bill Cosby. 80's Cos was all Smoothed out&a Modern Day Mr.Cleaver but on this film&the other two he did with sidney Poiter Bill cosby was a Funky soul brother who was funny&Had His Screen Game down pat.Harry belefonte is on point here as is Calvin Lockhart(a very underrated Cat) Paula Clark is a Foxy Momma&rocking the Afro Puffs.Roscoe Lee brown is cool as well&so is the rest of the cast.Much Dap to Brother Dr.Todd Boyd whose commentary knocks it out the Box.

Summary: A Load of Fun
Review: From the time I saw this movie when I was a child until now, this movie never fails to keep me laughing. From the time Poitier and Cosby goes to Madame Zenobia's,(this high swanky place to have a good time) and gets robbed out of Poitier's lottery ticket; to their encounters with Little Seymour and Big Percy(Harold Nicholas at his best);Geechie Dan Buford(Harry Belafonte)to Silky Slim(Calvin Lockhart:"Never have so few done so much for so many"); The good Reverend(Flip Wilson:"Loose Lips sink ships, bubbla,bubbla,bubbla"), and put it all together and you got one heck of a funny movie. I love it and it will make your day as well.

Summary: One of the greatest buddy movies of all time
Review: I have to say that this must be one of the greatest buddy movies of all time. Both Cosby and Poitier have great chemistry with one another in their first outing with each other. I only wish there was a DVD version available. Also check out there second and third outings with one another Let's Do It Again and A Piece of the Action.

Summary: An All-Time Favorite!
Review: Out of the three comedies starring Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier -- 1974's UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT, 1975's LET'S DO IT AGAIN and 1977's A PIECE OF THE ACTION -- this one has always been my favorite, even though the other two were fabulous as well. This classic, non-stop laugh-fest centers around two down-on-their-luck best-buddy hustlers (played by no other than Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier) who happen to con their way into an after-hours nightclub, only to end up being robbed by one of the local gangs. Meanwhile, back at home, one of them discovers that the numbers he played in the lottery, were, in fact, the winning numbers; but then he realizes that the ticket--the winning ticket--that he had was in his wallet...which was stolen during the stick-up at the after-hours club.

And from there, the action begins. The boys go a little "undercover," by scouting out every local gangster, to see which one has got possession of the ticket, and some of the gags they encounter in the process make it all-the-more fun; it's *absolutely* hilarious! Features Harry Belafonte, Flip Wilson, Rosalind Cash, and a cameo appearance by Richard Pryor. Highly recommended if you want a non-stop laugh fest.
