The premise, which it's story, does lose it's way into haziness, can be forgiven, as I really liked it, as well as the surprisingly good performances as our comic duo, especially the late Pryor, where we forget, just how a good actor he was. The idea of a pathological liar, teaming up with a con man, is classic, and Another You isn't without faults. It's quite a messy comedy, and in terms of plot, where sometimes we do lose sight, of what's happening. There's some classic funny scenes. Wilder is so much fun to watch, as the discharged patient, where thanks to his lying problem, he doesn't recognize his wife, Ruele, who lives in the palatial two storey house. Wilder, mistaken for, and used for good ole greed, by a scheming lawyer (Lang), who again shows us, what a versatile, and great character actor he is, Pryor the con man, is hip to his intentions. He sees an opportunity, to take off with the money himself. The trademark scene, is of course, the yodeling, Elaine song scene, and Pryor's trombone playing is hilarious, as is his scam play, which could save you a few parking tickets, may'be. The scenes in the hospital rec room, with the score of familiar faces, Wilder's nutty friends, don't really work to humorous avail, are quite the possibly worst in the film. As respect to our late duo, this, their fourth and last outing, definitely deserves a viewing, as don't believe some crits here. The third act with beer froth covering Wilder is a bit of a shambles.
