Stir Crazy is a comedy thriller where two of my favorite actors Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor have teamed up again to create a fun-filled experience for viewers. Here I would like to suggest my readers to also watch another brilliant work by these two wonderful actors 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil'. These two super-talented actors have many feathers in their cap and Stir Crazy is a glittering one. The movie starts with a bank robbery where the two were wrongly framed for it. They are sent to prison for a bank robbery they didn't commit. In jail, their attempts to impersonate as rowdies to ward of anti-soc characters, while the truth was different was ingeniously funny. The conduct of the two in jail has many situational comic moments and finally, the execution of the escape plan which capitalizes on the warden's choice of Wilder to be their "main man" in a rodeo competition was interesting.
Stir Crazy is a light-hearted comedy with bountiful moments of fun. Richard Pryor's pragmatic approach to circumstances while Wilder's over-optimism had been tested at times providing barrelful of laughter. It's a great movie and fun to watch.
