Another You (1991) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a mental patient with a lying issue who is deemed ready for society and discharged from the hospital. He is placed in the care of a con man. The patient is mistaken for a billionaire and the con man jumps at the opportunity to take advantage of the case of mistaken identity.
This movie is directed by Maurice Phillips (The American Way) and stars Richard Pryor (Harlem Nights), Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Vanessa Williams (Eraser), Mercedes Ruehl (Big) and Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects).
This is an above average addition to the comedy genre. The cast is outstanding and Pryor and Wilder's chemistry and how they play off each other is always entertaining. The film relies on over the top lies for the comedy; and in all honesty, the reaction to the lies is funnier than the lies themselves. I found Pryor's facial expressions and body language hilarious. There's a dinner scene in here that's tremendous and comedy gold.
Overall, this is far from one of Wilder and Pryor's better films, but it is still worth a viewing. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
