This pairing of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, while not "Silver Streak" and not the first half of "Stir Crazy", is still an amusing comedy with some absolutely hilarious moments. I mean, let's face it...the second half of Stir Crazy... Full review

Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are probably one of the best comedy couples around. And this title is probably one of the best they made together. The most of the credit goes here to Richard, who played his part really hilariously.... Full review

"See no evil, Hear no evil"; a perfect title for an hilarious script that was brilliantly portrayed by Gene Wilder (Dave) and Richard Pryer (Wally). The tale of two "handicapped" (as Dave remarks at the end of the film, "I'm... Full review

See No Evil, Hear No Evil" is rated R and contains nudity, strong language and prison jokes.
Together, they are almost able to put together a description of the perpetrator, who as incarnated by Joan Severance is fairly well put together already.

Chicago Sun-Times
The possibilities for visual comedy with this idea are seemingly endless, but the movie chooses instead to plug the characters into a dumb plot about industrial espionage.
I doubt if Gene Wilder has it in him to play a mean-spirited, vindictive character, but Pryor used to be able to call on that other side.

The chemistry is still there in the latest Wilder-Pryor teaming, "See No Evil, Hear No Evil," as Wilder and Pryor play off each other very well but, alas, the script is a real dud, and the stars' penchant for cheap, vulgar humor goes overboard.
But this unlikely duo still had a lot of chemistry together and they played very well together on screen.
