Brewster’s Millions

In this 1985 comedy directed by Walter Hill, Richard Pryor stars as a minor league baseball player who unexpectedly inherits a vast fortune with a peculiar condition: he must spend $30 million in 30 days to inherit the full $300 million, but he can’t tell anyone about the challenge. The film explores the hilarious and often absurd lengths he goes to in order to meet the stipulation. John Candy co-stars, adding to the comedic dynamic. While the movie didn’t win any major awards, it remains a notable entry in the comedy genre of the 1980s. You can watch it for free on Soap2day.
