| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumVery dated humor with youngish Cosby and Poitier...who directs OK. |
| User ReviewSoPhiaI probably was a baby when this movie came out, and growing up I watched the Cosby Show. The first time I watched this movie I was probably 10, and I recognized it being Bill from his voice, because he looked alot younger in the film, but he has always been funny. Two great actors, and a wonderful film. |
| User ReviewNandi CWhat can I say about this movie? Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby plays two fellas that went out to this "funky joint" to have a good time, not knowing that the place was slated to be robbed, along with the wallet that Sidney Poitier had the winning lottery ticket, he and Cosby try to get with the most dangerous and zany folks to get it back. One of the funniest movies out there. And the first in the triology of movies that Poitier and Cosby made together. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Also, you just cannot bypass Flip Wilson's preaching and the chior's singing. This movie was the first of three movies that Poitier and Cosby worked together on from 1974-1977. |
