 so much potential November 14, 2007

this movie had the ingredients to be a very funny comedy.it has Gene br /Wilder and Richard Pryor,who play a deaf guy and a blind br /guy,respectfully.a man is shot and killed,and the death guy and the br /blind guy are the only witnesses.they can't prove anything,so they are br /arrested for the murder.and they escape custody.sounds like a good and br /original premise,right?well it is,but i found that all the jokes fell br /flat.i was,quite frankly,bored.after about 36 minutes,i had to stop br /watching.it was just way too slow.maybe you have to be in a certain br /mood to enjoy this movie.or maybe it's just not my kind of movie.either br /way,i found it pretty lame.it has a chuckle or two,but not enough to br /maintain my interest.if you're a Pryor/Wilder fan,you might want to br /check it out.for me,See no Evil,Hear no Evil is a 2/5.
 Harmless May 24, 2004
Greg Goebel (Loveland, CO USA)
* Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder have to be regarded as one of thebrclassic comedy teams of sorts. I was a fan of Pryor's ever since Ibrhad the enforced opportunity -- while sweating in a barracks bay inbrthe middle of Texas during 1974 -- of virtually memorizing every wordbrof Pryor's album THAT N****R'S CRAZY while other members of my platoonbrplayed it several times a night for a period of months. (Actually,brexcept for the monotony, I didn't mind: Pryor's skewering ofbrhopelessly square white people was not without justice, and wasbrbalanced by a no-less-unjust and much more brutal skewering of hisbrbrethren -- but I digress.) And though I am not a big Gene Wilderbrfan, somehow he makes a perfect foil to Pryor.pIn SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL Pryor plays Wally, an excitable blindbrman, who becomes extricated with Dave, a cranky deaf man played bybrWilder. Through a series of coincidences, the two are implicated in abrmurder, and must cooperate to clear themselves and bring the realbrkillers to justice.pNow, anybody who has ever studied the least amount of statisticsbr(which roughly describes the level of my knowledge on that score)brknows that the distribution of almost anything follows what is calledbra normal curve: there's a few things on the low end, there's a fewbrthings on the high end, and there's a big bulge in the middle. Thisbrmovie falls clearly into the bulge. What can I say about a movie thatbrI can't have the pleasure of getting excited about or the satisfactionbrof taking an axe to? Not that much.pTo be sure, SEE NO EVIL has its fine moments -- a lunatic fistfightbrscene is good for some very big laughs -- but there are slow momentsbras well -- a most improbable impersonation tries to be funny butbrmerely seems stupid. Pryor occasionally reaches a pitch of lunacy,brbut while his foul mouth (which actually seems a little tame afterbrgetting used to Eddie Murphy) is sometimes good for a laugh, at otherbrtimes it seems ... well, foul. The plot is a thrown-togetherbrcontraption that adds no interest to the movie. (I think they mustbrhave a computer program that generates such plots. Probably runs on abrkiddie PC.) It's a bit sad to put give such stars as Pryor andbrWilder such a weak vehicle.pIn summary, what can I say about this movie? The HITCH-HIKER'S GUIDEbrTO THE GALAXY had the right description in a single word: HARMLESS.br[Minor update of review from 1989.]
 Simply The Best!!!! January 7, 2004

One of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time! Pryor and Wilder are golden in this one of a kind comedy. Joan Severance has to be one of the hottest women in Hollywood!
A Dynamic Duo October 2, 2003
Stanley Runk (Camp North Pines)
This is, without a doubt, one of the funniest films I've ever seen. It walks the line between clever and juvenile as far as humor goes, but what a flick! Pryor and Wilder's chemistry is fantastic, as usual. These two have got to be the best comedy duo ever. They're both hilarious on their own. Sure, it might be a little un-pc to get laughs from handicapped characters, but I really don't think the film exploits that angle all too much. Most of the humor basically comes from alot of incidents of miscommunication. Richard Pryor's performance of the blind man is scarily realistic and well done. Wilder's once again the sarcastic wise guy he does so well. Most people have seen this before, but if you haven't, you shouldn't wait another minute. If you have seen it, see it again. Why not?
Hilarious August 18, 2003
Jeremy D. Cannon (Salem, IL United States)
I have never seen such a greater idea than this movie. I think it is so hilarious, especially in the beginning when Wilder is yelling at the truck driver, and Pryor thinks Wilder is yelling at him! So hilarious, I have this movie and love it.
