What to Know

Critics Consensus

So stubbornly unfunny that not even a reunited Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are enough to give it a spark, Another You is worse than none at all.

George Landau St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jun 24, 2021
In the press kit for "Another You," the film's director, Maurice Phillips, speaks of a "real chemistry" between co-stars Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor that's "incredible to watch." Never trust a press kit. Go to Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel Jun 24, 2021
1/5
An abrasive, spectacularly mirthless comedy. Go to Full Review Harry Haun New York Daily News Jun 24, 2021
2/4
The two stars for "Another You" are for the two stars of "Another You" -- Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, a proven comedy team hard-pressed here with a script locked on zero. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jan 24, 2023
Another You is ignominious, and seems impossible for anyone to like it. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Bill Cosford Miami Herald Jun 24, 2021
1/4
A painfully inept comedy that tries so very very hard to be goofy and off-the-wall that you wind up feeling sorry for the participants. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Junior S. @RT39899143 May 10, 2026 Richard Pryor looks like he just walked out of a sarcophagus, and the only laugh in the entire movie is Gene Wilder’s hair. See more Christopher J @RT44570270 Feb 22, 2024 meh its was ok it had some laughs but not enough to be good See more Rodney F @RT02045559 Dec 16, 2023 Awesome I wish these guys made more movies together I have rewatched a hundred times. Light hearted comedy. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 23, 2023 So unfunny you will wonder if they meant for it to be a drama. See more A J @RT12541579 Jan 4, 2023 Don't know why this rates so low. Another classic by a great comedy duo. Don't believe the haters. If you didn't laugh you better check your pulse. See more Oct 16, 2021 Vague, confusing, and pointless, but you get to watch Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor for a couple hours. There are worse ways to spend time. See more Read all reviews
