At one point during this film, I was just in a perpetual eye-roll. It wasn't funny, endearing or even mildly entertaining. Why did they make this?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 17, 2022

This was really offensive. The comedy was horrible and the concept was so problematic. Nothing about this "movie" made sense.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 17, 2022

It is what they call a major disappointment.

The Toy" is insensitive to its material, a crude low-comedy. And a lifeless one.

| Jun 15, 2021

Ultimately, "The Toy" will be remembered as a poor showcase for a couple of fine comedians.

Pryor seems in chains in this movie, and he rarely breaks out for more than a second or two. Gleason, 66, looks remarkably good, but he is just presiding over his performance.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 15, 2021

Anyone who could get Richard Pryor for a toy would be damn lucky. Wish I could say the same about his new comedy...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 15, 2021

Nothing here works.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 15, 2021

Although the film is not very good, Pryor repeatedly rescues us from boredom.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 15, 2021

Gleason is meant to be hilarious in his villainy, just as Ganzel is in her stupidity and sexiness, but their characters are so exaggerated that they seem merely pathetic.

| Jun 15, 2021

It is a mild disgrace that with all its resources, the film industry can't come up with a vehicle worthy of a man who is likely the most talented comedy actor of our time.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 15, 2021

Batteries apparently weren't included. You can't even wind this one up.

| Jun 15, 2021

Pryor will probably turn "The Toy" into a hit, but once again, he presents us with the prospect of a comic genius in the service of inferior material.

An adaptation of Francis Veber's 1976 French film Le Jouet, this version has some fine moments (especially at the start) but soon degenerates into a mawkish message movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 15, 2021

The movie definitely belongs to Pryor, although it's no big prize to own a movie so raggedly stitched together.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 15, 2021

Inept, revolting, heavy-handed, vulgar, maudlin, stupid, insulting, and boring are just a few of the words that come to mind when describing this pathetic 100-minute endurance test.

| Jun 15, 2021

It's memorable as a cable-온라인카지노추천 staple and as a showcase for Pryor (in that everything Pryor did was memorable), but The Toy strikes an awkward tone at best.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 2, 2021

Outdated '80s comedy has language, nudity.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 25, 2018

There's really no modulation from this style of facetiousness to the episodes meant to impart "serious," instructive sentiments, and the characters don't sustain much psychological integrity as they ricochet from one sequence to the next.

Played straight, this could make some quite serious points about the predicament of the unemployed (Pryor as prostitute), but the film finds it easier to opt for cheap laughs.
