ichocolat I was cleaning up my grandparents room when I stumbled upon this VHS. The comments on the VHS cover prints all praises of the movie, so I got excited. I called up my friends to ask who still has a VHS player for me to watch this movie. I was hoping that this movie is well worth the effort.Boy, I was disappointed. I feel like all my effort was in vain. The movie sucks, big time.There was not a single time I laughed. I did giggle once, when the family discovered that their new house really does not have a swimming pool, after all (the swimming poll has been taken out by the previous owner, leaving them with a huge hole in the yard, which the swimming pool used to be).The storyline is choppy, the jokes were crass, the acting were contrived. It is so not cool.A score of 2 out of 10 for this movie.

anthonywalters A simplistic, yet highly entertaining comedy starring Richard Pryor. Arlo pear (Pryor) seems to have literally EVERYTHING go wrong for him; from his house move, to a new job, to his daughter wanting to marry a sleaze bag! The dog wants to give up and bury itself, and as for the fixtures and fittings in the new house: "Are they staying there or are you taking those with you?". And "After 15 years I gave him the wrong finger!" Doesn't make any sense yet? Good. Track down a copy on ebay, amazon, or any good retailer and watch it. It's a shame Warner Bros won't release it on DVD though, as like many other Pryor classics (see Stir Crazy, Brewsters millions, and See no evil, hear no evil) this is fantastic. This film isn't meant to win any Oscars nor be critically acclaimed. It's mean to be watched and enjoyed by all. It achieves exactly what it set out to do.

Idocamstuf In this silly, but fun comedy from director Alan Metter(Back To School), Richard Pryor plays an engineer finds what seems to be the perfect job. The only problem is that the job is in Idaho, which means that his family would have to sell their home in Chicago and move out to Idaho. Several disasters occur as Pryor attempts to pack up and move across country, everything that could possibly go wrong does. The film is not exactly a laugh fest, but Pryor keeps the film entertaining with his great comic energy. Dave Thomas and Dana Carvey are fun in supporting roles, as well as Rodney Dangerfield as a gambling loan officer. Overall, a harmless film that benefits greatly from the presence of Pryor. 5.8/10.

triple8 Moving should be rated higher! This movie's premise is great as it turns the act of moving into an absolute hilarity!! Family moves from New Jersey to Boise Idaho! You just know plenty of wacky hijinks are gonna occur!I really think anyone who has ever experienced moving from one type of place to a completely different one, or anyone who just has had frustrations with moving in general will be able to relate. Nothing offensive about it, just plain good comedy, pretty fun to watch.
