Another You (1991)

Wonderful Movie

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

At the time this film was made, Richard Pryor was ill and had but a few years to live; Gene Wilder was a man in his late sixties. Without knowing these facts until a moment ago, my reaction to the film was that Pryor lacked the energy that had characterized his earlier performances; Wilder still performed with zest, yet, it would seem to me, the phenomenon of which George Burns(regarding he and his wife, Gracie) and Jerry Lewis, among others, have spoken, that at a certain age, the characters with whom once they were very successful, now were too young for them to play credibly. Clearly Wilder found that the fey youthful character he had created no longer suited him. Nonetheless, there are enough funny routines here, enough good lines and visual action, to make this quite a pleasant diversion.Sadly, Pryor's medical condition escalates and is visible in the movie. Facial reactions are not present much, and his overall frame is stiffening. One would simply guess that it's old age, but it distracts you when you're watching the movie. Pryor should have been in a hospital rather than a sound-stage and Wilder's misplaced manic energy cannot carry the load. An ignoble end to the team's movie career.Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

i think this is a great movie and it does not deserve a 4.6 thats crap. I gave it a 7 because it a great movie its so funny and please rent or buy this movie.also see see no evil, hear no evil.they are both really funny movies I watched the both of them two times when i got them this passed Christmas they were so funny so do yourself a favor and buy this movie it is definitely worth it.If you do not like these movies then you do not know a good movie and do not know the meaning of comedy. Gene wilder and Richard pryor starres in four movies together this one, see no evil hear no evil silver streak ans stir crazy but see no evil, hear no evil and another you are the best i like the old nineties and late eighties comedies better than the newer comedies but the new ones are still good.

Another turn out for the Pryor/Wilder duo which does have some funny scenes and amusing dialogue. However, Another You does drag its heels and seems to lose its way halfway through. Just a little too slapstick and not a patch on the fantastic 'Silver Streak' and very funny 'Stir Crazy. I'll give it a 5.

"Another You" is a jaw droppingly awful "comedy" that represents a low for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. There is not one single laugh in this movie. Pryor's health problems are more than apparent and there is a scene between Wilder and future Oscar winner Mercedes Rhuel that involves yodeling that is so embarrassing it has to be seen to be believed.Once upon a time the comedy team of Wilder/Pryor gave us good laughs in "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy" and even in "See No Evil Hear No Evil" which looks like a classic compared to this atrocity.
