Another You Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
jonsicky i think this is a great movie and it does not deserve a 4.6 thats crap. I gave it a 7 because it a great movie its so funny and please rent or buy this movie.also see see no evil, hear no evil.they are both really funny movies I watched the both of them two times when i got them this passed Christmas they were so funny so do yourself a favor and buy this movie it is definitely worth it.If you do not like these movies then you do not know a good movie and do not know the meaning of comedy. Gene wilder and Richard pryor starres in four movies together this one, see no evil hear no evil silver streak ans stir crazy but see no evil, hear no evil and another you are the best i like the old nineties and late eighties comedies better than the newer comedies but the new ones are still good.
Elswet Gene Wilder is one of my favorite people in the biz. He has a fanatical side which instantly makes you embarrassed for him, while at the same time, he has an open honesty which makes you feel for him every little thing which his characters go through. He was one of the best of the best before his beloved Gilda died in 1989. And has slowly let the sadness permeate to his very soul, every day since. To look upon Gene Wilder today, you don't see the nervous little fuss-budget of a man he once was. You don't see the carefully happy and deeply devoted husband he was to Gilda during those years, anymore either. What you see now, is a sad, sorrow-filled Gene who is struggling to maintain the grip he has on his bootstraps, that makes you love him all the more for his courage.He has worked little since; his 1990 comedy "Funny About Love" having already been filmed at the time of his wife's demise, was the last of the greats to be released by Wilder. His 1991 comedy "Another You" bore the brunt of Wilder's grief, and it showed in his performance, complete with a death skit worked into the plot line where the beloved deceased rose triumphantly from the grave, and was not the hit Wilder desperately needed at that time.His defunct TV series was another tremendous let down for the star, but that did not destroy his spirit. Wilder has made several Made 4 TV movies over these last few years; keeping himself busy amidst struggling with his grief, and is now, some sixteen years later, heading once again to the big screen. This newest endeavor (Instant Karma - 2005) is also centered around death and the reincarnation factor, and carries several big names. It is unclear which of these superstars will be the lead, but the list of cast members includes Pierce Brosnan, Dom DeLuise, William Katt, Eartha Kitt, Billy Preston, Burt Reynolds, The Rock, Mira Sorvino, and Gene Wilder (among others)! This film has had NO press even with the all-star cast. New Line Cinema appears to have little faith in the project or they would be hard-spinning it by now.If I could say one thing to Gene Wilder, it would be this..."We never get over losing the ones we love dearly. But somehow, we do get past it. I hope your heart heals one day, Mr. Wilder, for as things are, we not only lost Gilda that fateful day. We lost you, too."I care not for what other people have to say about this movie. I have loved the Wilder/Pryor comedy team since the very beginning, and this movie is no exception. They haven't done a single movie together which I would dog, and this is no exception.Another You is about George, a habitual liar who has spent the last three years in an institution to try to help him stop lying. Eddie Dash is a washed-up con artist who somehow qualifies for unemployment. His case worker finds him a position as a sitter/caretaker for George, who is about to be released. Eddie starts out trying to con George, but soon learns that there are bigger fish to fry.When confronted on the street by Abe Fielding's bookie who owes Abe a ton of money, the bookie mistakes George for Abe (in front of Eddie) and the con is on.Before you know it, George IS Abe, living in Abe's house, boffing Abe's wife, and Eddie has moved into the small mansion as an ex-fighter who needs a little "recovery time."This is a wonderful premise, and the movie is both touching and hilarious. While it lacks the "epic" feel of Silver Streak, it is every bit as good as Stir Crazy, and at least 2 notches above See No Evil, Hear No Evil. This is a wonderful movie.It rates a 7.6/10 from...the Fiend :.
departed07 i liked another you since i was in the second grade and i laughed my ass off all the time when i saw this film. Wilder and Pyror are a hit again in this film about a scam artist(pyror) that takes in a con artist(wilder) and these two start trouble. Anywho, i know not many people and critics agree with this film, but i have liked it.
soranno In this 1991 Tristar Pictures release, Richard Pryor once again portrays a con man and once again Gene Wilder is his costar. Their fourth collaboration may most likely be their last as Pryor's increasing signs of multiple sclerosis made filming extremely difficult for him to get through. It's a real shame in the world of contemporary film comedy as Pryor's possible cinematic swan song (if you don't count his cameos in two 1996 films, "Lost Highway" and "Trigger Happy") turns out to be one of his funniest films and best performances. Pryor portrays Eddie Dash, a con man who has just been released from prison but still has to serve time for community service. He is assigned to be a public escort for a pathological liar (Wilder) who has just been released from a mental hospital. What Pryor doesn't initially know about Wilder is that he is the pawn in a scam to claim a brewery inheritance. The two of them eventually wind up running for their lives when some greedy businessmen decide that they want to cash in on the fortune. Plenty of funny moments from the always dependable duo of Pryor and Wilder.
