Leave your thoughts about Some Kind of Hero.
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyA very engaging, loose-limbed sort of comedy. It's written, directed and acted with amiability, which doesn't disguise the bitterness immediately beneath the surface but, like Eddie himself, absorbs it. |
| User ReviewMichael Wexelent movie hillarious and serious richard pryor outstanding |
| User ReviewZoran SFlawed but rich and interesting with a fine performance by Richard Pryor. The ending doesn't work but there are some excellent moments throughout. |
| User ReviewEmeka WEddie Keller is a hero to me. I simply just love this film on a personal level. Richard Pryor's take on role was fabolous cause even though he was a comedian at the time, he gave his best performance ever. He didnt us the film as his stage to showcase his act, he showed you how a down and out soldier went to extremes to make things right. |
| User ReviewGreg Wpryor is the fuel that makes this one go. |
| User ReviewRobert IA comedy/drama about a soldier who is gets put in a POW camp for 6 years, then has to readjust to civilian life after the war. He comes home to find out that everything is not as he remembered it. This movie is worth a watch but I found myself getting bored in some parts. Richard Pryor does a pretty good job, and there are some funny parts, but it's not one of his best films. |
| User ReviewJames HBlack comedy about an American POW coming home from Vietnam. Sorry, but seeing a war veteran returning to find his wife leaving him, the army screwing him, and his mother having a stroke, and him turning to armed robbery just isn't funny. |
