Review

Which Way is Up (1977) is a Richard Prior comedy in which he plays three roles, the main character, his father, and a degenerate preacher. Prior is an orange picker, and unwittingly becomes a part of the effort to unionize farm workers. He is run out of town, and while he is working in the city, meets and falls in love with the lovely Lonette McKee, who is a union organizer. He witnesses an assassination attempt on the Caesar Chavez character, and chooses to keep his mouth shut. He is rewarded by the growers with a foreman job back home in the packing plant. He now has to juggle a wife, a girlfriend and son, and the wife of the preacher who gets his wife pregnant.

Frankly, most of the humor was lost on me. Prior is good in the role, which wavers between over-the-top, and believability, but it is a mediocre comedy at best. C.

Nudity Report: McKee showed brief breast flashes, but looked great.
