Summary: Who Wants 2 B A Mil Yun Nare....?
Review: ....Rich Pryor does in this great comedy from the 80s. One of my favorites, mainly 'cause of Rich's frustration schtick when he ends up making money, rather than getting rid of it. John Candy as his pal, like somone below has stated, has some great comedic moments in this...he is one of my favorites too.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: Brewsters Millions is an American classic Richard Prior is at his all time greatest. I know of few movies that top this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What would you do with $300,000,000?
Review: Hmm...let's see...For starters, I would buy myself five or six mansions in different parts of the world, possibly start up a car collection, or perhaps take a few dozen trips around the world and deposit the rest in a bank account. The point is, "Brewster's Millions" is a delightful comedy that stars Richard Pryor as a down and out ex-professional baseball player who must spend thirty million dollars in thirty days. If he is successful, he'll inherit $300,000,000. Sounds easy, right? The catch is that Mr. Pryor must have no assets of any kind after the thirty days to obtain the money. John Candy co-stars as Pryor's buddy and is an "en route" benefactor to Pryor's real fortune. Stephen Collins also co-stars as an attorney who would like nothing more than to con Pryor out of his millions so he can obtain the fortune for his future firm Granville and Baxter. Pat Hingle does an outstanding job as the overseer of the conditions of Montgomery Brewster's (Pryor) great uncle's (Hume Cronyn) will. All this makes for a well-crafted, suspensful comedy. o do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of "Brewster's Millions" today. Chuck Fleming (Peter Jason), Action News!

Summary: A solid Pryor romp that brings many laughs!
Review: I liked this movie as a kid and I still enjoy it once and a while now. Richard Pryor has always been a great comedian and many of his movies are some of the best comedies around. Brewster's Millions has an interesting twist that appeals to most peoples fantasies and to watch Brewster try and achieve his golas just gets very interesting. John Candy is very funny in his supporting role and it is great to see Brewster lose it when his attempts to blow the maoney on stupid investments actually pay dividends. The film is not outrageous and is pretty standard but certain elements like the decorating of his office really are hysterical moments. Definately worth at least a rental.

Summary: Even after years, it is still a good comedy............
Review: I recently purchased this movie. It has been years since I last saw the movie and I still enjoy Richard Pryor and John Candy. These two men, Pryor, and Candy, posthumous, were giants of comedy.

Many thanks & I take my hat off to them for many years of entertainment.

Summary: Extremely Funny Movie
Review: I've never really been a huge fan of most of Richard Pryor's films, but I have to say that "Brewster's Millions" is a very funny movie.

The film revolves around Monty Brewster, a baseball player with dreams of making it to the major leagues. One day he discovers that an uncle he knew nothing about has left him an inheritance because Monty is his only living relative. Monty's uncle tells him, via video before he died, that he wants Monty to absolutely hate spending money. He wants to test him. So Monty has a decision to make. He can either spend $30 million in 30 days WITHOUT having any assets and ultimately inherit $300 million or he can take $1 million and be safe. Of course Monty chooses to go for the $300 million, and what happens next are some of the craziest, funniest, and kindness acts you'll ever see in a film. I won't give away the ending, but you'll be amazed at how hard it is to spend $30 millions and not have any assets to back it up.

John Candy does a good job playing Monty's best friend in the film. It's a shame that we lost him so many years ago. It's also a shame that Richard Pryor can no longer perform like he used to due to his illness.

I would highly suggest this film because it is not only funny, but it also wraps you up into the lives and some incredibly funny and fortunate people!
