See No Evil, Hear No Evil (Arthur Hiller 1989)
My high expectations for liking this, See No Evil, Hear No Evil crushed it. I was really expecting to love Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor in this comedy vehicle as the pair made several successfully comedies together...and I find both funny and both are likable with lots of screen presences. But not in See No Evil, Hear No Evil. I do get bored by some movies, well this is one of them. I started checking the time remaining at the 45 minute mark and I kept checking until it was finally over. That's never a good sign.
Basically this is one of those 1980s buddy cop/crime movies that were so popular back in the day....Think Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, only this time it's a comedy with Wilder and Pryor...I didn't laugh at much, maybe a couple of chuckles ant that's it.
I will say Gene Wilder was good here, he's always good. Wilder never over sells his deaf character and indeed I could buy that he was indeed deaf. Pryor on the other had did this way silly, over the top, blind guy bit that I just didn't buy and it ended up being annoying. Interestingly enough the bad guy Anthony Zerba is also suppose to be blind and does pull that off quite well.
No cool cars this time, but there was one hot chick!
