Welcome to one of Cosby's few big-screen efforts. It is always in people's nature to put down great things and to nit-pick or sometimes just be plain mean. No matter what anyone says, this is not only an eye-popping cinematic treat, but one of the greatest stories ever put on celluloid. Whether we like the film, or not, one has to recognize the greatest achievement, perhaps, of the creative talent of the people working in the movie industry. Never in my life have I laughed so hard. The writing is meant to make us all laugh and succeeds. This film was nearly perfect, but sadly still not made for everyone. I award it 7 out of 10.
