Title: An honest telling of Richard's life story - laugh out loud moments, interspersed with some tearful ones.
Review: I remember watching Richard on Saturday Night Live - in the early days when it was hysterical. Based on this documentary he had a fairly tragic life at least as a child. He found a way to turn it all around with humor, although it seems he was a tortured soul under all the laughter. This doc covers a lot of Richard's life, and for the first time I fully understand how he caught himself on fire - he nearly died. He was a ground-breaking comedian. All in all this is a very good documentary about Richard's life - with some funny clips thrown in.

Title: It was GREAT
Review: Yassss. I loved this. Richard will always be my favorite comedian, he's remembered the way he wanted to be with laughter, this movie was done exceptionally well. The thing that made me sad about it is the fact that Kat Williams, the closest thing we have to his comedic type of genius , is made a mockery while he lives and will probably only be remembered like this when he's gone. Hate to take it there, but it's true and Love you Rich, man....

Title: Watch this, as itâs a GOOD ONE!
Review: Whenever I see pictures of Richard Pryor, I always smile and giggle a bit. I grew up with him in my life, watching his shows and movies with my parents. He was and will always be the king of comedy for me. A funny, true, and most importantly, a real person. This documentary could have said a lot more if there was more time, but all in all, it's a good one to watch. Absolutely recommend to everyone.

Title: Goodybye to the true King of Comedy
Review: I was there to see Richard Pryor at two separate occasions. "Live on the Sunset Strip" , I was there on the best night for the filming of this live concert by Richard Pryor, he was the best I never laughed so hard in my life. I also saw Richard in a small club one night in L.A. it was so funny I was crying and begging him to stop because my side was hurting from laughing so hard. I love comedy and comedians and growing up in Los Angeles I made regular pilgrimages to The Comedy Store to see stand up artists. I have seen a ton of big names; David Letterman, Robin Williams, Richard Belzer, J J Walker. Eddie Murphy, Marsha Warfield, etc. but no one could compare to Richard Pryor he was truly funny. I knew a lot about his drug use back in the day and the time he shoot up his wife's car but most of the comedians I saw live used drugs or drank heavily, I guess that was something which kind of went with the territory. I even heckled Richard Belzer once onstage and they shut him down. Pryor was a master of comedy and I do not think even Chris Rock or Kevin Hart can hold a candle to Richard. I will truly miss him.

Review: Growing up, watching Richard Pryor's stand-up comedy and movies, I thought I knew all there was to know about him. This documentary shed so much light on this icon. He was taken away to soon. RIP Richard Pryor. I have the fondest memories of me and my father watching you on television and laughing out loud together. Thank you so much for that.

Title: A Legend
Review: Richard Pryor was, is, and will always be one of the greatest of all times. He brought so much joy and laughter to the world, while struggling with his own demons. And remained true to himself until the end.
