Review of Stir Crazy (1980) by John M — 06 Jun 2013

Barely funny "comedy" that leaves the great duo of Pryor and Wilder literally fending for themselves. Given little to work with by an almost laugh-free script, our two stars try as hard as they can to provide laughs on their own.

But, little can be done. Plus, the movie is 20 minutes overlong at least. Sidney Poitier's presence isn't felt at all. He just gets his shots done and that's it. Very disappointing. And, a tremendous waste of talent.
