A Last Fling for Two Veteran Performers
by drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA)
At the time this film was made, Richard Pryor was ill and had but a few years to live; Gene Wilder was a man in his late sixties. Without knowing these facts until a moment ago, my reaction to the film was that Pryor lacked the energy that had characterized his earlier performances; Wilder still performed with zest, yet, it would seem to me, the phenomenon of which George Burns(regarding he and his wife, Gracie) and Jerry Lewis, among others, have spoken, that at a certain age, the characters with whom once they were very successful, now were too young for them to play credibly. Clearly Wilder found that the fey youthful character he had created no longer suited him. Nonetheless, there are enough funny routines here, enough good lines and visual action, to make this quite a pleasant diversion. Of course, it is not Silver Streak, but it is fun, and the last chance to see one of the good comedy teams in films. I particularly enjoyed Wilder's citation, so to speak, of some classic comedy routines (for example, that of Smith and Dale) early in the film, when he fell into his chronic liar persona.
I suppose before buying, renting or borrowing this disc, you should ask yourself whether you are going to be in a relaxed, receptive mood or a critical one. This is not a movie that will stand up to a sharply critical analysis.

Another Pryor and Wilder comedy
by A. Pierre (Somewheres)
I got this movie in a three pack with other Pryror and Wilder movies. Needless to say this is the worst of the bunch. This movie is not really all that funny and is a bit confusing. I dont recommend this movie to anyone who wants too see a comedy. Stir Crazy or Hear No Evil See No Evil is a much better route.

Another You - The end of something great
by Justin Sosa (Chicago)
I'm a huge fan of Gene Wilder's films especially when he pairs up with Richard Pryor. As mentioned earlier, "Silver Streak" "Stir Crazy" are top gold for the duo. "See No Evil, Hear No Evil", personally was also funny...it's from the late 80's--the magic is already diminishing. Nevertheless, still enjoyable. I love it even though it got panned by critics and reviewers here on Amazon. I saw that this movie, "Another You" also got sad reviews across the board...but figured "hey, if I liked "see no evil, hear no evil.." this might be good also.
It wasn't. Trust me...I had a VERY open mind about this movie. I was desperately SEARCHING for places to laugh...and unfortunately couldn't find any. Let me clarify...there are many things that one COULD laugh at...but they didn't make me laugh. I'm 22 and I suppose the comedy is dated or preferred for an older group (??) but some of the bits just don't work anymore. Someone here reviewed that the yodeling scene in the movie was funny...I didn't laugh. In fact, i was shocked it went as long as it did. The part where Richard Pryor fakes playing the saxophone? A tired and old routine. A bit like that isn't new...it's old. Pryor tries to fake his way through a sax solo and fails. That SHOULD be funny right? The are many avenues and opportunities for gags in this movie...but their efforts are mediocre--at best.
I couldn't wait for the movie to end. The acting was so fluffy and over the top that, THAT might be the only thing you can laugh at! The plot is bareable but we're not watching a Wilder/Pryor movie for a plot! Pyror's swearing is the only consistent comedic input he has in the movie which gets a giggle--not laughs.
Sadly, Pryor's medical condition escalates and is visible in the movie. Facial reactions are not present much, and his overall frame is stiffening. One would simply guess that it's old age but it distracts you when you're watching the movie.
The movie gets a very generous D as a grade. People who would enjoy this would probably be people who watched it in theatres in 1991 and(for whatever reason) enjoyed watching it again today. For ones who have never seen it and are younger...doubt you'll enjoy or compare it to the other Pryor/Wilder gems.

a Richard Prior movie I hadn't seen
by Linda (Milford, Ct)
A different kind of a story, very interesting, holds your interest, surprises, laughs, and a unique view of life.

Another You, Another Poor B-Grade Acted Comedy
by Jason Scherer (Melbourne, Australia)
I was hoping this film would be really funny like "Hear No Evil, See No Evil". Boy was i wrong. When i first knew Gene Wilder's Character was from a mental home, i said to myself, "I have a feeling i will not like this movie at all, i think it's gonna be a very weird movie to watch". Boy was i right.The yodeling scene drove me absolutely bonkers watching it, i was comtemplating turning it off, never to watch it again. When i watched the therapy session play near the start of the film, (When Richard Pryor came to meet George for the first time.) i really wanted to turn it off. The acting in that scene made me think how bad and WEIRD the acting is. The therapist in that scene should be commited too, he looked like he should be a patient himself. This film should be scrapped and made all over again. Sadly, The great funny man Richard Pryor, is no longer with us to create a remake.
Another You Summary
George Has Been In A Mental Hospital For 3 Years And Is Finally Ready To Go Out Into The Real World Again Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/25/2007 Starring: Richard Pryor Mercedes Ruehl Run Time: 94 Minutes Rating: R Director: Maurice Phillips
A last attempt to squeeze some laughs out of the team of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder,
Another You
mostly conjures up pleasant memories of
Silver Streak
and
Stir Crazy
. Pryor plays a con man forced to tend a pathological liar (Wilder), who's immediately mistaken as a missing millionaire--a mistake that could pay off big. The storyline actually holds promise as a classic screwball comedy outline, but the movie doesn't build any snap or crackle, and promising set-ups dribble away. Even the once-electric chemistry between the stars has faded. Wilder displays that eerie sadness and stillness he brings to his comedic roles, but here he looks stranded. Pryor's ferocious talent is muted and his onscreen energy is turned down low; his reliance on easy profanity feels a little desperate. This was his final starring role before illness took him out of movies.
