Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

BA_Harrison Take two excellent comedic actors-Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder-and a brilliantly simple premise-a blind man and a deaf man are wrongly suspected of a murder- and what you have is See No Evil, Hear No Evil, a side-splitting farce in which the disabled pair, Wally (Pryor) and Dave (Wilder), have to try and prove their innocence by tracking down the real villains (played by sexy Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey).With Wally unable to see and Dave having to lip read, the scene is set for some incredibly funny knockabout comedy and hilarious verbal interchanges, ably handled by veteran director Arthur Hiller (who also worked with Pryor and Wilder on Silver Streak in 1976).There are way too many funny moments to list, but my favourites are when Dave misunderstand's bad-tempered cop Braddock (Alan North), thinking he has said 'Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman', and Wally, posing as a Swedish gynecologist, giving a talk on multiple orgasms in geriatric women!Also worth a mention: Severance's shower scene (the actress going topless) and Kevin Spacey's facial cyst (the actor had it removed soon after, but here it is so big that it deserves a screen credit all of its own).7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

grantss David Lyons (played by Gene Wilder), a deaf man, runs a convenience store. He recently hired Wally Karue (Richard Pryor), a blind man. A murder is committed in front of the store and both are present but due to their impairments, can't identify the murderer. Moreover, they are the police's prime suspects and are arrested for the murder. They manage to escape but now they have the police and the actual murderers after them.A good comedy, with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder at the top of their games and at the peak of their partnership. Some great skits, generally revolving around their handicaps, and some great one- liners. The deaf-guy-and-blind-guy routine works very well and is reasonably consistent. There are a few moments where you figure "he couldn't have heard/seen that" but it is generally quite sound. The broader plot does bring down the quality a notch or two though, regenerating into farcical chase scenes or cheap stunts and jokes at times. As mentioned, great work by Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in the lead roles. Among the supporting cast, Joan Severance is worth watching for many reasons: stunningly beautiful and gives a solid performance as one of the bad guys.Kevin Spacey demonstrates that even great actors have to start somewhere (this was his fourth feature film): his gets to play a cartoonish bad guy with a silly accent and even sillier moustache and has very little room to show his acting talents. Yet, from such beginnings, great careers are born.Good entertainment.

Mojochi In truth, I enjoy this film very much. It is a joyous note upon a very precious pairing. These two men show us 1st hand, time and time again, how fond they are of one another, in a very tangible way, upon the screen. Their personal friendship always manages to shine though in all of their outings together, & in this film's case, it's the saving grace. The quality of their 4 film partnership is debatable, and certainly has its flaws, but it was inescapable that their bond would create fun films for millions, ever since the near miss of failing to cast Pryor in Blazing Saddles.While none of their films together would receive the success or acclaim which that film garnered, it was clear they had something special to share together, & fortunately for us, share it they did. In fact, one of the pitfalls of their collaboration is that the quality of the productions around them saw a decline over the years. It's fair to point out that their 1st two films, Silver Streak & Stir Crazy delivered a much rawer form of comedy, in a far more audacious presentation, than this film or their last, Another You. The jokes hit harder, & the scenarios stung more wildly.That said, while the comedy became more subdued as years passed, the focus on their bond actually became more of a highlight. This is the reason I enjoy See No Evil, Hear No Evil. These two comic actors have deeply invested themselves in a heartfelt portrayal of the burgeoning bond of their two characters, and in it, we get a glimpse of their own friendship, two men struggling through life, facing their handicaps, & finding a soul mate with whom they can share aid & comfort.It's really a beautiful thing, that was actually somewhat more underplayed in their previous films, despite the sharper comedy. The problem with this film, despite a moderately crafty premise, & the two leads carrying it magnificently together, is that everybody else is not. The story and script writing is amusing, but middling, the direction is mediocre, (which in and of itself isn't enough to wreck the picture) but the supporting cast? In short? They're abysmal.Two bumbling cop schmucks, a personality devoid "Mysterious" sexy villain lady, a completely forgettable sister, an awkward Mr. Big villain, & what might be the absolute worst performance in the nearly otherwise stunning career of Kevin Spacey. (Who could have possibly thought that accent was a good idea?) No sir, our lovable heroes are literally surrounded by a complete disaster of a supporting cast, in my humble opinion...... And yet..... when you get them both away from all of that, And the screen is welcoming them together, every moment is a pure joy. That's a special thing, when everything else fails you, and you still succeed.

SnoopyStyle Wally Karue (Richard Pryor) is blind and he doesn't like it. Dave Lyons (Gene Wilder) is deaf, and runs a newspaper stand. Wally gets a job from Dave, and quickly becomes fast friends. One day, a man comes in. After an argument with Eve (Joan Severance), she kills him. Both Wally and Dave only partly witness the incident. The incompetent police arrests the duo but then they escape. Eve and Kirgo (Kevin Spacey) are after the duo for a valuable coin.Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are always fun together. The gimmick allows the guys to have some hilarious back and forth. The mug shot scene was gut busting funny. While the joking around is funny, the caper doesn't work as well. In the end, the movie works as an excuse for the guys to go crazy.
