Which Way Is Up? Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   Right On Time
With the passing of the legendary comic, Richard Pryor, I had to add some of his work to my DVD collection. All the other DVD sellers had this DVD on back order except DVD Universe. The DVD arrived on time and the price was right!

Classic Pryor Material
This movie is a comedic masterpiece. Richard Pryor plays 3 different characters who all have some sort of relationship. My pops was the one who turned me onto this flick! All I can say is classic!

Funny
This movie I think is one of funniest movies from Richard Pryor that I've seen yet. He does a really go job in all the roles setting the cornerstone for other actors like Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence

Did you think Eddie Murphy was first to play several characters(The Klumps,Life,Coming To America). Murphy and others have said many times Pryor is the influence of a lot of today's comedy!

THE HISTORY BOYS, a clever look at a British school system's attempts to produce Oxford and Cambridge-worthy graduates, is based on the play of the same title by Alan Bennett. Bennett's play provides an interesting springboard for a film about youth, growing up, education, identity, and the complexities of the student-teacher relationship. Set in Sheffield, England, in the early 1980s, the story follows a class of college-bound high-school boys as they prepare for the rigorous entrance exams. Feeling the boys need grooming beyond what the absurd Mr. Hector (Richard Griffiths) and sarcastic Mrs. Lintott (Frances De La Tour) can offer, the headmaster (Clive Merrison) brings in Mr. Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) to fill in the gaps. As a finishing school teacher of sorts, it becomes Irwin's job, through innovative history lessons and bold techniques, to turn children into men. But like his colleagues, Mr. Irwin is not without doubts and of his own, and his inevitable attraction to one of his students is something that he continually struggles with.
Not what you'd expect from a film about teenagers, the story veers away from traditional notions of youthful ...
