Yeah, I thought this being a straight to video B grade, this would be a miss of a movie. My Sister recommended it to me, and I passed it off. Coming across half of it on t.v. one night, this corrected my qualms about this movie quick, as I eventually did hire it on video in 94. The movie is a cheap laugh riot, steered by the great comic timing, and priceless expressions from Pryor, who after a couple of weeks of being jobless, he's just been thrown a work offer he can't refuse that involves moving.... again. His whole family, especially his daughter, driven to desperate and funny measures, are dead set against it. Finally forced to make the big trip, his hell has only begun. He has the removalists from hell, that includes King Kong Bundy, so you don't want to hypothesize on breakages and damages to valuables, etc. His driveaway guy has personality disorders, and the last tenants of their new home in Boise, were whack jobs, while also his new neighbor, is the arsehole brother of an equally irritating guy, who shared former neighborhood residence with Pryor. What are the chances? Moving is cheap side splitting and quite inventive laughter, while also taking quips at all the downfalls and hassles of moving, where behind the quips are realistic clouds of what's involved in making the big move, and the stuff ups that can happen, where they've just all been peppered with comedy or inanity. The catalyst is very real, when you approach it from Pryor's point of view. The rebellious daughter who stymies their chances to sell their old home, was real, where as I said before, she's much opposed to moving, and kind of brought shades of my rebellious in the home. The frequently funny film, also brings Rambo into the picture. This is a great vehicle for Pryor, and though not everyone will see this film my way, and I'm talking Pryor, here's one not to overlook, but just see. We also see that being black twin brothers does have it's advantages on the running field, and in the classroom. The movie does have some sharp humor too, where as I said laughs are continual, where identity changing Carvey is a hoot.
