Leave your thoughts about See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt's the none too promising assumption of See No Evil, Hear No Evil that one physical disability complements another, and that Wally and Dave are made for each other. Yet, against all odds, the movie goes on to prove it with a lot of good, unlikely humor that is often not in the best of taste.Mr. Pryor and Mr. Wilder have never worked better together, possibly because they are playing characters who, being blind and deaf, are not especially funny to begin with, but who also have a certain amount of intelligence. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chris DafoeIf it weren't for the good will that the stars have built up over the years, See No Evil would pass without notice; even with the stars, that's what it deserves. But these are ingratiating performers, even when working far below their peak. Watching them, you find yourself wanting to laugh even when the laughs are undeserved. |
| Slant MagazineOdie HendersonTrapped inside its overwritten crime story is a breezy character study starring two men with genuine chemistry and a flair for both physical and verbal comedy. In the rare moments when Pryor and Wilder simply talk to each other, there’s the potential for a funny and poignant interracial two-hander like I’m Not Rappaport. It’s too bad that potential is squandered on a senseless murder plot. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrBadly scripted, hackneyed, cliched, deaf/blind comedy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe good idea: Richard Pryor plays a character who is blind, and Gene Wilder plays a character who is deaf, and once they become friends they make a great team. The possibilities for visual comedy with this idea are seemingly endless, but the movie chooses instead to plug the characters into a dumb plot about industrial espionage. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThis dubious concept might have worked if someone had written something funny for either comic actor to say. Instead, five writers are credited with this mess of pratfalls and bleeding heart monologues. |
| User ReviewKristen Pvery funny film.. these guys mesh well together and both having disabilities cracked me up big time |
| User ReviewDenny OThough not the best comedy to have even been made, it still tickles our funny bone. I mean, what's not to like about a blind guy and a deaf guy played by Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder being accused of murder? It's great. Nuff said. |
| User ReviewMohamadyusuf FOne of the funniest movies to ever grace the silver screen. |
| User ReviewBrian LSo silly but so funny, too! Hadn't seen it in around 20 years! |
