Stir Crazy

Directed by Sidney Poitier

Better get bad jack, 'cause you
 ain't bad, you gonna get ______!

This slapstick classic starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder has its place in comedy history. The movie starts great, and the "gettin' bad" scene may be one of the funniest ever put on film, but as the heroes move into the latter stages of the film involving a trite rodeo/blackmail plot and a well planned escape, the movie escapes the two stars and the laughs leave as well.

The perfect comedy duo of  Pryor and Wilder try their best to funny-up a very mediocre script, but in the end this movie dwindles.
