I don't get why critics totally hated this movie. Ask anyone who was a little
kid in the early 80's and we all have fond memories of this. I remember my
parents always letting me watch Richard Pryor in this movie and Superman 3, but
wouldn't let me watch his "nastier" stand-up films over their dead bodies.
The Toy is not a great movie, but if you were young enough in the early 80's,
this movie brings back fond memories

ah, yes. I was a kid back then. And I remember liking it. I can't
remember anything that happened in it, but I liked it. I remember it
also starred Jackie Gleason. ( I think).

IIRC, it was the first of Richard Pryor's "cute" kiddy-comedies, after
"Stir Crazy" in '80 and "Bustin' Loose" in '81--
And I remember seeing the slapstick scenes and thinking, "Oh, Rich,
Rich, don't go there..."
