This movie makes me laugh every time I watch it. It's sad that both of the actors died. They were the best ones in town, they will be truly missed.

David Lyons (played by Gene Wilder), a deaf man, runs a convenience store. He recently hired Wally Karue (Richard Pryor), a blind man. A murder is committed in front of the store and both are present but due to their impairments, can't identify the murderer. Moreover, they are the police's prime suspects and are arrested for the murder. They manage to escape but now they have the police and the actual murderers after them.A good comedy, with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder at the top of their games and at the peak of their partnership. Some great skits, generally revolving around their handicaps, and some great one- liners. The deaf-guy-and-blind-guy routine works very well and is reasonably consistent. There are a few moments where you figure "he couldn't have heard/seen that" but it is generally quite sound. The broader plot does bring down the quality a notch or two though, regenerating into farcical chase scenes or cheap stunts and jokes at times. As mentioned, great work by Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in the lead roles. Among the supporting cast, Joan Severance is worth watching for many reasons: stunningly beautiful and gives a solid performance as one of the bad guys.Kevin Spacey demonstrates that even great actors have to start somewhere (this was his fourth feature film): his gets to play a cartoonish bad guy with a silly accent and even sillier moustache and has very little room to show his acting talents. Yet, from such beginnings, great careers are born.Good entertainment.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil was the third collaboration between Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. The 1989 film directed by Arthur Hiller was a comedic goldmine of a story where a blind man and a deaf man must rely on each other to clear their names as they have been wrongly accused of a murder. The third time was a charm for the Wilder/Pryor duo as they turned in another comedic standout with this film. Never short of laughs or story, See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a treat for audiences 27 years after its release. Dave Lyons (Gene Wilder) runs a convenience stand inside a hotel in New York and just happens to be deaf. 'Wally' Karue, (Richard Pryor) is a man down on his luck who answers Dave's ad for a job opening, and just happens to be blind. Feeling a kinship to one another, Dave hires Wally and the two work together. Everything goes smoothly for the men, what Wally struggles with, Dave helps, and what Dave struggles with, Wally makes up for. When a murder is committed in front of Wally's stand while his back is turned, he turns around just in time to see the murderers legs, and Wally comes in just in time to smell the murderer. Together they are the perfect witness to the crime until they are the ones accused of committing it. Eager to prove their innocence and escape police custody, hilarity ensues in the unique way that only Wilder and Pryor can deliver. There were some wonderfully funny scenes in this movie. The premise of two men having a difficulty in which they need the other to drive a car, or have a fist fight was a great concept for a comedy. For an interesting bit of trivia, Gene Wilder passed on this script multiple times because it was initially poorly written and riddled with inaccuracies. When he finally accepted, he prepared for the role by meeting with a woman that would later become his wife. The writing must have certainly approved, no doubt with Wilder's influence as he was a credited writer on the finished product. What comes through in the finished piece was wonderful, and full of subtly funny scenes that became a mainstay in a Wilder/Pryor film. This film used to be my favorite film of the four that Wilder and Pryor worked together on; it has since been replaced with Silver Streak, but it is still a fun turn every time one watches it. Wilder's character was as good as ever, only going to prove that, like a fine wine, Wilder's acting only improved with age.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a funny movie, don't listen to Rotten Tomatoes or anything like that if you watch this. The movie has very bad reviews and I was very surprised when I watched this!So the script is pretty terrible and the story is not believable at all, but the chemistry between Wilder and Pryor just makes this an enjoyable film. The humor may be hit or miss for some and sometimes it just gets way too moronic, but still the movie is fun. This is mostly because of the charismatic characters of Wilder, Pryor and Spacey. Oh and the killer lady is also a treat to the eyes, of course.I was planning on trashing this movie before I'd even seen it, but I would be lying if I told you See No Evil, Hear No Evil had me laughing, and hard at times. An enjoyable comedy from the 80's.
