There’s nothing wrong in Richard Pryor: Here and Now that a little editing wouldn’t cure. This fourth entry in Pryor’s comedy-concert film series would probably have played better as a 48-minute video. Instead, it was released as an 83-minute feature, requiring way too much padding (mostly in the form of the hecklers who bedevil Pryor all through his performance). The best bits involve Pryor’s R-rated comments regarding the Ronald W. Reagan administration. Filmed in New Orleans, Richard Pryor: Here and Now is undeniably funny, but it could have been far more than that.
