    What an outrageous story of a family's move across the country, and Pryor is hilarious, as is the rest of the cast, which includes Randy Quaid and Dana Carvey! I highly recommend this movie, it's hilarious.

    This is bloody stupid and disappointment comedy of Richard Pryor that doesn't make me laugh.

    Randy Quaid as the next door neighbor with the 6am jet engine lawnmower and other antics encourages Richard Pryor to sell his house and MOVE on up like George & Weezy. Follows the antics and problems he runs into trying to move all their stuff from one city to another. Hiring D... read moreana Carvey to drive his SAAB, the moving company, Great stuff! Stacey Dash is in this one as well as her first role....WHAT Stacey Dash posed nude in Aug, 2006 Playboy? Anyone have that back issue? Another one I need to rewatch now.

    I saw this as a kid and still remember some of the lines it was so good. Pryor has always been a god.

    It's amazing to me that we actually liked movies in the 80s. I didn't remember this movie all that well, but re-watching it ... it's just stupid. But not in a charming way.

    For as simple as this movie was, it was still very funny. What a great cast led by the hilarious Richard Pryor. Really good funny lines as well.

    What a shame, after a very promising first half, it takes a bad turn to stupid and far fetched situations that just aren?t funny. It could have been so good too. Okay performances.

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily

A pathetic comedy where the highlight is an inside joke that Richard Pryor's character flips the bird with the wrong finger.

Sitcom-style silliness about (get this!) the hazards of MOVING.
