Roger Ebert
The movie has started well and at this point it looks like it could develop into a terrific comedy. ( Read More )

The story is also pretty interesting, with one of the most elaborate jail break sequences set to film topping of the whole thing.I did think that the film went a little too long and that the rodeo angle was a little far fetched, but overall this movie had me cracking up for most of its way.

In Stir Crazy, another very funny comedy, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor are teamed up again. ( Read More )
David Nusair
To say that the film loses its focus is an understatement of ridiculous proportions, and one cant help but wish that director Sidney Poitier had just let Wilder and Pryor do their thing. ( Read More )
Dennis Schwartz
Unfortunately all the gags during their escape fall flat, leaving the film more or less inert. ( Read More )
