In "I Am Richard Pryor" they kind of blasted this movie as being horrible....And here I am thinking it was a beloved childhood classic.
They won't remake it now, the PC police would be all over them...despite the fact that it was Richard Pryor and he was BLM long before there was a BLM.
And, honestly, I can see how the people that made "I Am Richard Pryor" would look down on this, I mean...it's childish.
But it's also childish fun, and just because Pryor is cleaning things up a bit for the film, just because he's not vulgar and not dropping the N-bomb every few seconds doesn't mean he's not hysterical.
And let's be hones, he had more family friendly and less adult movies in the past as well. His movies don't have to be as gritty as his stand up is. You can enjoy both, liking one doesn't mean you like the other any less.
So, OK, it's not a review, just felt the need to defend it. If you walk in expecting the Mack, you clearly didn't read the back of the box.
