Brain Donors / Critical Condition

Review

 

Brain Donors (Dir. Dennis Dugan) (1992 ): Brain Donors is the hilarious story about a wealthy widow Lillian who decides to found a ballet company after getting legal advice from her lawyer Roland Flakfizer. Before long, she has two incapable assistants including a useless jack-of-all-trades and master of none named Jacques and Rocco who is a cab driver whose credentials include pool cleaner, liposuctioner and toupee salesman. The result is an outrageously funny attack on high society as the characters unintentionally create a mess out of every endeavor.


Critical Condition (Dir. Michael Apted) (1987): Gifted comic Richard Pryor plays a jewel thief who is placed in a hospital for examination after pleading insanity in order to avoid a prison sentence. The ensuing story of mistaken identity and hilarious medical malpractice is vintage stuff from the much-loved, veteran comic. The comedian's energy and ability to take a scenario and turn it on its head is truly hilarious and will have audiences clutching their sides with laughter. The setting of a hospital is the perfect location for Pryor to enact his full range of comedy skills. Botched operations and a malpractice suit ensure the situation spirals out of control and with the added tension of a dangerous criminal trying to escape the story rapidly evolves into a fast-paced farce with hilarious results!
