Summary: RICHARD'S STORY
Review: I LOVE THIS MAN HE IS FAVORITE COMEDIAN OF ALL-TIME. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED AND ENJOYED RICHARD. THIS IS HIS BIOGRAPHICAL STORY. IT IS WARM, AND TOUCHING. THIS MOVIE SHOWS HOW HE GOT HIS START I LOVE RICHARD PRYOR AND I ALWAYS WILL HE IS MY FAVORITE COMEDIAN OF ALL-TIME NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER THAN RICHARD IN MY EYES.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most underrated films of all time
Review: I've yet to read a positive review of this film. Let this be the first. This is a heartfelt, gut-wrenching film straight from Pryer's heart. If you're looking for comedy, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for the result of one man's soul search--from hell and back--Pryor delivers here in spades. Pryor is not the best director in the world, but that matters little here. What matters--and what most critics fail to recognize--is that this is one of the most gut-wrenching and emotionally impactful autobioghapical film portraits ever set on film. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "He Wasn't Happy Unless His Nuts Were In a Vise"
Review: Mr. Pryor used filmmaking as therapy, I think, to take a look at his own often-troubled life. While it's difficult to put a lot of this together without knowing the background on Richard Pryor, it's still a fascinating, heartbreaking, and funny film. My only real complaint is that it's too short; I'd love to see the outtakes on a future (hope, hope) DVD release. Sadly, this was Mr. Pryor's only directorial effort (aside from a concert film).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic
Review: Richard Pryor poured his heart&soul into this gem and it payed off fully for me. his life story is not the stuff of everyday kids. he overcame a lot to achieve.this film goes thru his changes highs&lows, race, relationships, rage, class, self-esteem& just trying to make sense of this life. his genius is all over this film. it's remarkable that he made the film. when one considers the challenges he faced thru out all of his life.

Summary: TWO THUMBS UP!!!
Review: This move is absolutely horrible...I don't know why he even took tha time out his life to make this piece of junk...

WHAT!

I'm playing with yall...I really, really, REALLY enjoyed this movie. I love movies that go beyond tha stars...telling what happens when tha cameras are not rolling in a star's life...

I like tha other beyond tha stars movies like, The Temptations, The Ernest Green Story....but this one is my favorite cuz Richard is my favorite comedian...actually, he's tha GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

If you haven't seen it...watch it...if you have seen it...watch it again...cuz it's that good...and I give it TWO THUMBS WAY UP!
