As near to philosophy as Mel Brooks gets: "It's good to be alive. There are so many things you can't do when you're dead." The richest man in the world (Brooks himself) takes a bet to live among, and as, the homeless, and acquires there a new set of values, as well as a new soul mate -- Molly the Bag Lady (a psychodramatic Lesley Ann Warren). Thin in incident (at the end of his first day on the street, Brooks shows up at a flophouse looking, with no explanation, as though he's been rolling in motor oil); flat in tone. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
