The concept could have made for a great movie, but unfortunately the screenplay is a sloppy tonal mess with the serious parts being way too melodramatic. Outside of Pryor the character development felt very rushed a long with parts of the story arc (especially his decent into crime and the stuff with the mob). God bless Richard Pryor. You can't blame him for wanting to try something different and he's really giving the role everything he's got. In the end though, it just didn't come together.

Starts off well, but gets lost after the first half hour trying to be poignant but funny at the same time, and it doesn't really work. It really falls apart when he gets in trouble with the mob. Too bad, it was a good concept for a movie, too.

Just an old Pryor movie. They're all worth watching at least once, I suppose.
