Starring a comedy pairing that today might cost the bulk of the budget, Richard Pryor and John Candy play off each other...shame they don't play a little better though.
Plot: A down and out, second rate baseball player is surprised, to say the least, when informed that not only is he the last living heir to a fortune, but, if he manages to spend it completely, without amassing any possessions, then, he will come into the real fortune- $300,000,000! The catch? He can't tell anyone, even his best friend. The problem is, it isn't as easy as it might sound to spend $30 million.
It could've been so much better. I guess Aliens writer/producer- Walter Hill just doesn't have the comic timing the film required.
Budget: £20,000,000
Gross: $45,833,132
Fun Fact: Look out for a small appearance by Ghostbusters supporting actor- Rick Moranis.
