8/10

"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" is a very entertaining film and it is the perfect vehicle for the combined talents of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder simply because it takes a straight forward central idea - Pryor is blind and Wilder is deaf - and it proceeds to place the pair in a succession of outrageous situations which quite frankly only they could perform as realistically as they do. This film also serves up a really generous ration of genuine laughs and it provides an empowering and positive attitude towards disability and as Wilder's character David Lyons comments at one point they are the least well equipped men to be doing what they are doing, but instead of this obstacle being a deterrent and a reason to give up it only serves to propel them forward.
