Another You (1991) Reviews

• Not the best plot, but great lines.

  Martin Jarborg1999-03-07

  Seeing that this movie only received an average vote of 4.3, I felt that I had to set the record straight; it deserves at least a 6. True, the plot isn't the best, but the lines are superb. Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder (a great double team) really work wonders together. So please, do yourself a favour and go rent this movie, it's worth it.

• Richard Pryor And Gene Wilder Once Again Work Well Together

  soranno2002-10-23

  In this 1991 Tristar Pictures release, Richard Pryor once again portrays a con man and once again Gene Wilder is his costar. Their fourth collaboration may most likely be their last as Pryor's increasing signs of multiple sclerosis made filming extremely difficult for him to get through. It's a real shame in the world of contemporary film comedy as Pryor's possible cinematic swan song (if you don't count his cameos in two 1996 films, "Lost Highway" and "Trigger Happy") turns out to be one of his funniest films and best performances. Pryor portrays Eddie Dash, a con man who has just been released from prison but still has to serve time for community service. He is assigned to be a public escort for a pathological liar (Wilder) who has just been released from a mental hospital. What Pryor doesn't initially know about Wilder is that he is the pawn in a scam to claim a brewery inheritance. The two of them eventually wind up running for their lives when some greedy businessmen decide that they want to cash in on the fortune. Plenty of funny moments from the always dependable duo of Pryor and Wilder.

  i liked another you since i was in the second grade and i laughed my ass off all the time when i saw this film. Wilder and Pyror are a hit again in this film about a scam artist(pyror) that takes in a con artist(wilder) and these two start trouble. Anywho, i know not many people and critics agree with this film, but i have liked it.

• Only For the Fans of PRYOR/WILDER

  This being the last of the Pryor/Wilder Partnership, was a commercial and critical failure, However that said, it was always going be tough as Pryor's multiple sclerosis illness had become more serious and is very evident in the film. His usual fast and erratic luney behaviour is reduced to a very frail skinny man who is obviously in pain and trying very hard just to walk.This would of also have reduced the creative input that Pryor contributed to his films. All this aside, Wilder is actually very funny in the movie, his timing is excellent(especially the restaurant scene) and he carries the film well. Pryor is still funny at times but understandably has more of a supporting role. A fan of the Pryor Wilder films should still definitely see this, there are many laughs,with some funny impersonation scenes with Kevin Pollack, but its one for people with a love for their comedy partnership. As a film on its own to an outsider it will more than likely disappoint. It is available on DVD

• Incredibly Funny, the last Pryor/Wilder hit.

  I found this movie to be incredibly funny, and I really don't think it's been getting a fair shake by voters out there. If you enjoyed Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, or See No Evil, Hear No Evil you will definitely enjoy this flick. Richard Pryor gives a wonderful performance as a con man, and nobody plays crazy better than Gene Wilder! Like all of their movies, Pryor and Wilder have amazing chemistry together. This movie was a laugh a minute! This was Pryor's last movie with Wilder. It's a sad sight to see Pryor so far along with MS as he is in this movie, his movements are sometimes stiff and forced, and I don't think he raises his arms above shoulder height once :(
