The film that would lead to filmmaker John Landis landing (no pun supposed) the directing gig on National Lampoon’s Animal House the pursuing year, Kentucky Fried Movie is an anthology comedy showcasing a quantity of diverse sketches. Scorsese’s 1985, which stars Griffin Dunne as a New York working stiff who ordeals a series of misadventures on his way residence from work a single night, was not nicely-been given by critics but has given that attracted a cult following. Understandably, there was a great deal of expectation positioned on Brewster’s Millions to be a gut-busting comedy vintage owing to the existence of Pryor and Candy, but when the movie failed to provide large laughs, critics had been mixed on it. Bringing jointly two of the ideal comedic actors of all time in the same movie need to have been a recipe for achievement, but the blend of John Candy and Richard Pryor wasn’t sufficient to lift Brewster’s Millions above remaining a now mostly overlooked mid-80s sports comedy.
