another you

the last film with the amazing comedy duo of gene wilder and richard pryor, this one is unfortunately not their best.  the story follows wilder as a man just getting out of a mental institution who is mistaken for a missing wealthy man (also played by wilder).  pryor's character sees the opportunity in this situation and takes over claiming this man is the real missing rich man.  though it hardly holds a candle to some of the pair's best work like stir crazy, there is a moment or two where you can see the old spark.  but not much.
