 HMV.com: DVD: Brewsters Millions (2005)
The late comedy greats Richard Pryor and John Candy star in the hilarious comedy "Brewster's Millions", a tale of excess, consumerism and downright deception.
Pryor plays Monty Brewster, who's sneaky-yet-loaded uncle has passed away but has one last surprise in store: if Monty wants his $300 million inheritance, he has to spend $30 million in 30 days, with nothing to show for it and without anyone finding out.
It's a great concept in itself, but the film is made by the comedic talent involved - Pryor is hilariously manic, whilst Candy, playing his loyal best friend, is wonderfully perplexed by the whole situation.
