VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
gridoon2018 "Another You" is a decent comedy, but it's most likely the weakest of the Richard Pryor - Gene Wilder collaborations. There simply aren't enough big laughs in it. The two stars still work well (and affectionately) together, and Mercedes Ruehl has an amazing lingerie scene (at age 43, no less!) that's probably the highlight of the picture. ** out of 4.
oOoBarracuda After 3 successful collaborations together, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor came together for the final time in Maurice Phillips's 1991 film Another You. The two definitely did not save the best for last in this story of mistaken identity. Maybe it was a case of wearing out a good thing, or poor directing, or something else entirely; whatever it was, Another You didn't work. After being in a mental hospital for 3 years, for his pathological lying, it is believed that George (Gene Wilder) is ready to be re- introduced to the world again. Eddie Dash (Richard Pryor) is a con- man trying to stay on the rehabilitated side of life when he is assigned to community service for the remainder of his probation. He is assigned to spend time with George, helping him find an apartment and aid him on his re-introduction to life outside of the mental hospital. On the way to the museum, George bumps into a man who mistakenly believes he is a millionaire to whom he owes a lot of money. George is wholeheartedly against going on with this lie as he is trying to rehabilitate himself from lying. Eddie, however, has no interest in becoming a better person and leaving the con game behind. Seeing this as a great opportunity for getting a lot of money, Eddie urges George to go along with the charade. George then meets the real Abe Fielding's wife and sees the beautiful mansion that he is supposed to live in. Going along with the charade proves difficult when it is revealed that the real Abe Fielding is missing and believed to be murdered. Everything about this film was disjointed. It's hard to believe, by watching this film alone, that there were 3 other film collaborations of the two principles. Another You is completely missable, likewise, miserable. A flat storyline that never fully develops or works enough to engage the audience, even my intense love of Gene Wilder's work wasn't enough to save this picture for me.
jrs-8 "Another You" is a jaw droppingly awful "comedy" that represents a low for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. There is not one single laugh in this movie. Pryor's health problems are more than apparent and there is a scene between Wilder and future Oscar winner Mercedes Rhuel that involves yodeling that is so embarrassing it has to be seen to be believed.Once upon a time the comedy team of Wilder/Pryor gave us good laughs in "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy" and even in "See No Evil Hear No Evil" which looks like a classic compared to this atrocity.
Martin Jarborg Seeing that this movie only received an average vote of 4.3, I felt that I had to set the record straight; it deserves at least a 6. True, the plot isn't the best, but the lines are superb. Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder (a great double team) really work wonders together. So please, do yourself a favour and go rent this movie, it's worth it.
