Simply The Best!!!!Tuesday, January 06, 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 DuoThursday, October 02, 2003
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?

Worth Seeing and HearingWednesday, September 24, 2003
Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder team up for their third film SEE NO EVIL,HEAR NO EVIL. They together starred in SILVER STREAK(1976) and STIR CRAZY(1980). Wally Carou(Pryor) is blind. David Lyons(Wilder) is deaf. Wally applies for a position as a sales associate in David's magazine stand. After a customer,Wally's bookie,is threateningly shot to death by a beautiful woman named Eve(Joan Severance),Wally and David witness the customer's dead body and are framed for the murder which they were not responsible for. There are many silly scenes in this film.One where David and Wally fake foreign accents. Also,when eating ice cream on cones in the park,Wally crowns David with his(Wally's) cone and in the last scene,in that same park,David does the same to Wally. It was so funny when David labeled Wally in another scene as a "blind egotistical ---hole who denies he can't see s--t". David and Wally end up framing Eve with the help of Wally's sister Adele(Kirsten Childs). Gene Wilder met his current wife while filming this movie in 1988. He was then married to comedienne Gilda Radner who died of ovarian cancer at age 42 in May 1989,the month this film was theatrically released. Stewart Copeland of the rock band The Police wrote the soundtrack music for this film. There's also a scene where Wally and David "go on a cable ride". Jim Belushi and Charles Grodin did the same in director Arthur Hiller's next film,TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS.

HilariousMonday, August 18, 2003
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.

Good comedyThursday, December 13, 2001
A good comedy with great comedians(Wilder,Pryor) and the presence of the voloptous Joan Severance in a good role(one of the murders) with good dialogs and gags.
A good entertainment.
