Reviews
Janet Maslin wrote in The New York Times, Pryor would not quite fit into the role of loyal caring and peaceful basically family father à la Bill Cosby. This bizarre cast bring the film but its own kind of comedy. Moving is not an extraordinary film, but probably would particularly entertain the crowd, who have had similar experiences with parades itself.
Hal Hinson wondered in The Washington Post also about the decision to occupy Pryor as brave bore. The film was indeed better than others, contemporary Pryor movies, but I'm not about mediocrity beyond. Nevertheless, some good jokes were successful. Hinson also praised the director in charge of Metter visual atmosphere of the film.
The lexicon of international film wrote that the film was " a decidedly listless comedy, slapstick, stereotype variations and pure idiocy in the American middle class milieu" ansi noble.
