Brewster's Millions wastes Pryor's comic talents
New York review by Janet Maslin says Richard Pryor stars but the film offers little to showcase his unique gifts. Walter Hill directs a slow screwball with an implausible premise, pacing that drags, and a flat screenplay. Supporting players Lonette McKee Stephen Collins Pat Hingle John Candy elevate the material. The piece argues Pryor’s performance is undercut by weak material and remakes.
