Review of The Toy

The Toy (1982)
7/10
Richard Pryor is a very funny man
14 October 2010
Richard Pryor is a very funny man. This was my first experience seeing him in a movie and I will be looking for more. The movie starts out about Pryor needing to find a job. He gets hired by a rich CEO to be his kid's toy. Towards the end the plot starts to break away from what the movie initially starts to do and gets too serious and uncomfortably unfunny at times. There's a scene where they go fishing and it felt like an forced switch up of scenery.

The racial humor is carried well by Pryor and made the movie overall a good watch.
