neutral · AI labelView post →For Richard Pryor my brother suggested SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL (1989) or SILVER STREAK (1976). I am going with THE TOY (1982) because I had an American lit professor in college who was /convinced/ this movie was a Rosetta stone for understanding America’s original sin.

positive · AI labelView post →See No Evil Hear No Evil was an awesome comedy
positive · AI labelView post →yes but they learned that lesson in every movie they were in i thought their later collaborations were better than Silver Streak i get a kick out of their last two collaborations especially See No Evil Hear No Evil

Some of the dialogue and delivery still makes me crease up. What a friendship, and double act.

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie of the night: See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989). This is on my list of objectively bad, but still a fun ride. Bo is feeling better after 48 hours without steroids. Much brighter and more himself. We did a massive city walk and also hit the dog park. If he doesn't sleep well, I will...
neutral · AI labelView post →It's only recently (since hitting terminal middle age) that I've experienced real disappointment revisiting beloved childhood classics. Loved 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil' as a kid, but it left me almost completely cold on recent re-watch. I'd hate to have that happen with 'Nuns On The Run'.
negative · AI labelView post →See No Evil, Hear No Evil had a bit like that.
neutral · AI labelView post →#MovieChallenge 3: See No Evil, Hear No Evil. The ultimate buddy comedy movie as the finely honed chemistry between Pryor and Wilder hits peak with the juxtaposition of their disabilities. Kevin Spacey pretending to be British is also unintentionally hilarious. 7/10

neutral · AI labelView post →Finished See No Evil Hear No Evil - another film from the best year of movies 1989. This is Wilder and Pryor’s best movie out of the four they made together. Joan Severance is an absolute smoke show in this film. Still as funny as it was in 89 but some may find it offensive now.

neutral · AI labelView post →Pretty sure mine was See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were very funny men and that movie was wildly inappropriate for me at... 8 years old, I think.

negative · AI labelView post →See No Evil Hear No Evil Also my favorite Richard Pryor movie Oh and Blazing saddles is amazing too!
positive · AI labelView post →See No Evil, Hear No Evil directed by Arthur Hiller is 80’s comedy genius. Gene Wilder is deaf, Richard Pryor is blind, they witness a murder and run from the killers together. Both are comedy legends and they’re even funnier together. Don’t die before seeing this movie. www.imdb.com/title/tt0098...
positive · AI labelView post →Reason I put See No Evil, Hear No Evil at the top is because I feel fewer people have seen it. Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder have such great chemistry. Forgot to add Stir Crazy that movie is also hilarious!

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched See No Evil, Hear No Evil. A disappointment from two comedians whose careers were marked with better films that effectively satirize dull stereotypes. Nothing clever is done with the premise, and there’s no indication anyone blind or deaf was consulted. See (and Hear) a better movie instead

neutral · AI labelView post →"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…
