My second favorite adaptation of this story behind the 1945 version starring Dennis O'Keefe. That being said, it's not big on laughs. It's more pleasant to watch than funny. Pryor and Candy are likable stars. The rest of the cast is good, too. It's just that for a comedy it doesn't try very hard to make you laugh. Also I kept getting distracted trying to see if all the ways Brewster spends the money are within the rules defined early in the film. I know I know I'm a nerd. Anyway gripes aside I do like this movie. I can put it on and watch it any time. Just go into it knowing what to expect.
