Eeire how many fire refernces are in this film
Knowing that Richard Pryor had his accident during the production of this film made every fire reference a bit weird. Maybe I was just too aware of it, but seeing Richard put the buring cap on his head, burning his fingers on the cigar he was hiding in his robe, or his line to Cicely Tyson near the end "that sets me on fire" were just odd. I thought the film was ok, but more of a warmup to "Moving", another family comedy he did. I thought "Moving" was a better film, with the same kind of family sweetness.
