The 'Hear No Evil, See No Evil' Casting: A Slightly Unhinged Take
Okay, let's talk Hear No Evil, See No Evil. Remember that movie? Pure 80s silliness.
Starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. Comedy gold, right?
Well, mostly. But I have a confession. An unpopular opinion, perhaps.
The Pryor/Wilder Dynamic: A Love/Hate Relationship (Mostly Love, I Think)
Pryor and Wilder. An iconic duo. They bounced off each other brilliantly.
But sometimes, did it feel a *little* forced? I mean, the comedic timing was impeccable.
But was it always...organic? Just a thought!
Don't get me wrong, I adore them both. Stir Crazy? Perfection.
Silver Streak? Hilarious. But *Hear No Evil, See No Evil* had...moments.
The Supporting Cast: The Real MVPs?
Let's be honest, the plot was...thin. Two friends wrongly accused of murder.
Cue slapstick and misunderstandings. But what about the supporting cast?
Did they get their due? I'm not so sure.
Kirby, the bad guy. He was pretty good too!
The movie needed their help. It was built around their dynamic.
I think they elevated the whole thing. Without them, it would be a flat comedy!
Joan Severance: Underrated Badass
Okay, Joan Severance. Let's give her a round of applause!
She played Eve, the villain. And she was fantastic.
Sexy, dangerous, and completely ruthless. She stole every scene.
She was smart enough to realize that the boys were bumbling. Joan was a true professional.
I truly feel like she carried the entire film. She was fantastic.
The Plot Holes: Bigger Than the Grand Canyon
Let's not even start on the plot holes. Seriously, how did they get away with some of that stuff?
The logic? Nonexistent. The realism? Out the window. I think we can all agree on this!
But hey, it's a comedy! We're not here for a documentary. Still...
Maybe a little believability would have been nice.
Or maybe not! Perhaps the absurdity is part of the charm.
Final Verdict: Still Worth a Watch?
So, is Hear No Evil, See No Evil a cinematic masterpiece? Nope. Not even close.
Is it a fun, silly way to spend an evening? Absolutely.
Especially if you appreciate classic comedic pairings. And Joan Severance.
So grab some popcorn. Settle in. And prepare to laugh (and maybe cringe a little).
It's a reminder that even imperfect movies can be enjoyable. Especially with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. Even if I do have a slightly twisted perspective on it all.
Just don't expect too much, okay?
