(3 stars) - as expected
Item received on time. Was rather scratched but its an old movie and the price was right.

(5 stars) - Great comedy wasted on PC idiologica
I won't post too much since enough good things have been said. Since most specifics come from those of use who were between 10-15 when this movie came out, it goes to show how our mentality was the 1st true generation to mature into a society where the racial undertones of such movies was lost on us to the actual comedic content.

For those who stick to the stereotypes to bash while veiwing this movie, you have truly wasted a good performance of two comedic geniuses working together. For those of use who enjoy the movie, let's continue to challenge those who bash it!!!

The Bottom Line:

Though Richard Pryor is reputed to be a comic genius, none of his anarchic spirit shows up in this painfully awful, terribly scripted, and non-sensical movie that features nasty people doing nasty things to each other for a seemingly-interminable running length; please stay away.

(5 stars) - The Toy
This is outstanding! Richard Pryor is incredibly funny. A rich man's son goes to his Dad's store to pick out a toy and sees Richard Pyror so asks for him. It is hilarious and a must for anyone who likes a good comedy.

(4 stars) - The Toy
When I was a kid I loved the movie The Toy. In this movie Richard Pryor is a toy for a rich man's (Jackie Gleason) son. I think what I enjoyed best as a child is seeing all the toys the kid had, and I thought it would be awesome to hand out with the guy from Superman 2. Out of Richard Pryor movies that I enjoy as an adult this isn't at the top of my list. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy it, but I prefer Brewster's Millions more.

I can say that this is a movie you should share with your pre-teen child. If they enjoy it as much as I did it would be a nice change of pace for viewing with them. You can watch along with them, they might not get all of the humor, but that's for you to enjoy. It's a movie that is actually takes a teenager to fully understand, but once again an enjoyment for a pre-teen to watch
