brewster's millions

i recently rewatched this one with diana. i have seen it many many times before, it was a staple on comedy central growing up. i've got to tell you: i love this movie!!! its so much fun! the basic premise is this: brewster is a down and out minor league baseball pitcher who is down to his last dime. well, it just so happens that his great uncle, who he had never met before, recently died. his great uncle was a multi millionaire and brewster is his only living relative. the great uncle, in his will, leaves it all to brewster. theres just one catch: brewster can take one million of it free and clear, or he can take the strange challenge his great uncle makes for him: he must spend 30 million in 30 days. if he can do it, he will receive all 300 million of the inheritance! well, brewster is up for the challenge! it seems like it would be easy to blow through all that cash, but there are stipulations which make it much more difficult... this movie is just pure fun as we watch richard pryor try to waste as much money as he can in 30 days, along with his best friend played by john candy. with all the remakes being made in hollywood, this is one that is actually ripe for a modern spin! this movie is very 80's with its fashion and style, so i think it could be a perfect opportunity for a really fun remake. granted, no one does it better than pryor, but i'd love to see someone try!
