WHICH WAY IS UP?: A seriocomic tale of love, seduction, and
betrayal in the strife-torn farm country of central California.
Richard Pryor plays several roles here, most significantly a
migrant worker who works his way up the ranks in the agricultural
company controlling one of the farms.
BREWSTER'S MILLIONS: Director Walter Hill tries his hand at
this adaptation of the often-filmed novel by George Barr McCutcheon.
Richard Pryor stars as Brewster, a penniless struggling pitcher
for a minor league baseball team. His luck changes when he is
informed that a wealthy uncle has died, leaving him a vast fortune
under one condition: in order to inherit the full amount, he
must first spend 30 million dollars in 30 days. The caveat:
he may not give it away, spend it frivolously, or tell anyone
about the arrangement, and at the end of the 30 days, no tangible
assets may remain. Richard Pryor and John Candy both turn in
excellent comic performances as two bush-league baseball players
who are suddenly thrust into the world of the wealthy--helping
make BREWSTER'S MILLIONS a winner.
CAR WASH: Director Michael Schultz follows up his critically
acclaimed and commercially successful COOLEY HIGH with this
hilarious day-in-the-life tale set in modern-day Los Angeles.
At Sully Boyar's car wash, a motley crew of young city-dwellers
"work their fingers to the bone" waiting on the eccentric
and sometimes haughty clientele. Throughout the day, the young
men find time to indulge in personal pursuits: one fellow fantasizes
about the pretty waitress working at a local restaurant, a militant
preaches politics, and more disgruntled workers find a way to
justify their laziness. As the day wears on, the many levels
of oppression that control each individual's life gradually
become apparent. Luckily, Schultz and screenwriter Joel Schumacher
don't dwell on the potentially depressing aspects of their subject
matter; proving that sometimes laughter is the best medicine,
they stuff their film with enough verbal, visual, and situational
humor to keep the audience laughing throughout. This can also
be attributed to the performances by the all-star ensemble of
performers, including Franklin Ajaye, Richard Pryor, George
Carlin, Bill Duke, and Garrett Morris. Cementing the deal is
the films soundtrack, which features the soulful music of diva
Rose Royce.
BUSTIN' LOOSE: Foulmouthed Joe (Richard Pryor) breaks his parole,
but is given a chance to prove his worth by a schoolteacher
(Cicely Tyson). She hires him to drive a bus full of Special
School kids from Philadelphia. Joe is a bit unnerved by their
various mental problems but soon the bonds of friendship are
formed, and Joe wins the respect of both the kids and their
teacher.
