Stir Crazy ★★ ½ 1980 (R)

Two down-on-their luck losers find themselves convicted of a robbery they didn't commit and sentenced to 120 years behind bars with a mean assortment of inmates. Wilder and Pryor's second teaming isn't quite as successful as the first go-round, but still provides plenty of laughs. 111m/C VHS, DVD . Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Nicolas Coster, Lee Purcell, Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams; D: Sidney Poitier; W: Bruce Jay Friedman; C: Fred Schuler; M: Tom Scott, Michael Masser.
