| • | Comedy and screen legend Richard Pryor hits the comedy road in Moving, a good-time tale of a flustered suburbanite trying to relocate with his family from New Jersey to Idaho. Dave Thomas, Dana Carvey and Randy Quaid are among the comic ensemble in this movie that packs "a houseful of laughs" (V.A. Musetto, New York Post).

Product Description
Movie DVD
Amazon.com
Sold as a comedy, this film was really a biopic about Wendell Scott, the first African American to break through on the auto-racing circuit. Richard Pryor (working from a script cowritten by Melvin Van Peebles) conveys the determination and long-suffering humor of a man who battles racial prejudice to pursue the sport he loves. But the material is plodding and Pryor can't elevate it. Nor can director Michael Schultz turn all of those behind-the-wheels scenes into actual cinematic excitement. Still, in rare moments, Pryor (working opposite Pam Grier) manages to sneak out some of the subversive wit that made him a star. --Marshall Fine

 Blast from the Pass! December 19, 2009
Thomas L. Morton (Burlington, NC)
I love this DVD. I am from Danville VA, where this movie was made and from where the characters from this movie lived. I have seen some of these place in my home town coming up as boy and had seen "Wendell Scott" around town and in parades. This is a great reproduction and of good quality from the original. Thanks for the Nostalgia.

Product was in good condition and just what I ordered, although the packaging was very bad.
Richard Pryor's movie, Moving has finally arrived in a digitital format! April 16, 2009
Mike Cabiness
This is one of my most anticipated DVD releases! I have been a big fan of Richard Pryor for years and Moving may be his best film yet. Why this movie took so long to make it to DVD is beyond me because it is hilarious! My only objection to this movie is the fact that it should have been released on Blu-ray as well.
