Good Dramedy
This is definitely one of Pryor’s better performances. Maybe not his funniest but on the drama side of things the movie is thoughtful and touching at times because of his performance, and he’s still funny when he needs to be. The director/writer I think overreaches in the end but this is definitely worth watching for Pryor’s performance if nothing else.
Great film up until about the middle
This film starts off like an extremely poignant drama. The bond between Richard Pryor and Ray Sharkey in the POW camp is seamlessly acted. The musical score by Patrick Williams is outstanding and very sad. The films middle is just as good, with very moving parts with Pryor returning from war to deal with problems with his mother, his wife, and his life. However, after this the film goes awry. The films keeps its respectability however, because Pryor is such a good actor.
