Synopsis For the first time in picture history, the outrageous talent of Richard Pryor and the ingenious comedic sense of Jackie Gleason are combined in the same film. Gleason is U.S. Bates, a megalomaniac millionaire who owns most of south Louisiana. Pryor is Jack Brown, a former journalist who has worked his way down the vocational ladder to the position of janitor in Bates' department store. Among Bates' other vast holdings is a young son Eric (Scott Schwartz), who visits his father for one week a year. Typically, Eric is chauffeured to the department store after-hours to pick out anything he wants. This time, Eric has a more elaborate toy in mind - Jack Brown. So begins the unique relationship that teaches Eric more about life than fun and games.

Empire Review an average toy - 3 out of 5  (11/5/2001) THE TOY must have seemed like a good idea at the time to someone. Teaming Richard Pryor with Jackie Gleason seems like it would be a perfect match for a classic comedy. But, apparently someone forgot to tell the screenwriters that the movie needed to be funny. Richard is in good form here, but most of his comic timing is limited to mugging and looking like he wants to be somewhere else at the time (which might have been acting because that is what the role calls for, or it might have b   more >>
