Brewster's Millions

Summary: "We're in business to do business, so let's do business!"
Review: In the realm of absurd 80's comedies, this remake rises above the average thanks to a sharp script and the combined genius of Richard Pryor and John Candy. I wish we could have seen more pictures with that pair. It's not perfect, and some of the other parts should have been cast differently (Lonette McKee as Angela Drake), but this is one of those stories you don't mind watching over and over again. Remember that hand thing John Candy does when he announces his recent investment success? "Ten million, ten million, ten million dollars!" That's one of my enduring image of Candy.

Summary: How would you Spend 30 Million Dollars?
Review: Often times people ask the question; What would you do if you had a million dollars? Well if you need some suggestions check out this movie. The overall plot is that Pryor has 30 days to spend 30 Million dollars if he wants to gain an even bigger fortune. The movie provides quite a few gags. The gags don't all work, but the concept is so interesting that it really doesn't matter. This movie not only gives us a few laughs but gives us a peek at just how rich some people (like Bill Gates for instance) must be.

Summary: Wonderfully funny
Review: Pryor & Candy make a great team in this hilariouse movie about a man who must spend 30 million dollars in 30 days. It makes you think "what would I do if I were in his situation?" A very fun movie, and definitely a MUST SEE for anyone.

Summary: They don't make them this funny any more
Review: Richard Pryor, John Candy, what a movie! When this came out I died laughing, and now that I own it on DVD there is no difference! Trying to spend $30 million in one month seems hard for Richard Pryor (he needs to meet my wife!) but he has a blast trying. The movie stays a step ahead of what I am expecting and that's good, because I tire quickly of predictive movies. This one is a classic!

Summary: great movie let down by lousy soundtrack...& no dvd features
Review: There is no doubt that Brewsters Millions is a wonderful comedy. Richard Pryor really does steal the show with his performance. Unfortunately, and it may be that I got a faulty dvd, but the sound track was so poor I had to turn it off. As I said in the title, it is a great movie and I really do love it, but this dvd was a lousy buy! Oh, and for those of you that think it might be my player or the region code, none of the above as I not only have a world zone player but one that can be programmed to a specific zone such as 1, USA, 4 Asia/Pacific. And I have purchased other dvd's from Amazon with no sound/vision problems. So, I have to say it is the disc...

Summary: Funny script, this is one of the funniest comedies around
Review: This edge of your seat comedy has lots of jokes, comedy and a great star cast, one of the best stories i've seen and perfectly plotted. Richard Pryor is the greatest comedian of all time, feel free to buy this because it is worth it, you know, a guy has to spend $30 million in 30 days, if he spends it all, he gets $300 million. Now that is comedy.
