Richard Pryor is Montgomery Brewster, a minor league baseball pitcher who discovers he has to blow $30 million in 30 days as a condition to inherit a much greater fortune. Here's the catch: He will forfeit everything if he reveals to a soul the real reason he seems to be throwing away all that cash. With the help of his pal Spike (John Candy), they set off on a frantic spending spree the likes of which would bring any self-respecting accountant to his knees.

Critics Consensus: With Richard Pryor's trademark ribald humor tamped down, Brewster's Millions feels like a missed opportunity to update a classic story.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

After a million brewskies, Brewster's Millions is passable fare as a late-night viewing option, but those seeking genuine laughs would do well to look elsewhere.

...a justifiably forgotten relic of the 1980s.

Tamed Pryor in '80s comedy with some salty language.
