Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert review five new movies. Two thumbs up for the "delightful, wistful romantic comedy",
Doc Hollywood (1991), with Michael J. Fox as a plastic surgeon trapped in a small town. The critics mock the ridiculous sequel,
Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), which is a tease for prurient interests. Both critics laughed at
Hot Shots! (1991), but only Siskel laughed enough to recommend it; Ebert feels that it's coming too soon behind the recent "Naked Gun" movie, which is better. Both are fascinated by the documentary,
Paris Is Burning (1990), which is about black and Hispanic transvestites. Two thumbs down for
Another You (1991), the depressingly bad comedy with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Roger Ebert recommends two concert films on video:
Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982) and
Richard Pryor... Here and Now (1983).
