Editorial Review:
Comedy and screen legend Richard Pryor hits the comedy road in Moving, a good-time tale of a flustered suburbanite trying to relocate with his family from New Jersey to Idaho. Dave Thomas, Dana Carvey and Randy Quaid are among the comic ensemble in this movie that packs "a houseful of laughs" (V.A. Musetto, New York Post). Next, Pryor has a driving ambition in Greased Lightning, the decades-spanning true story of Wendell Scott, who cracked the all-white world of stock-car racing, built cars from junkyard parts, endured taunts, overcame setbacks and won NASCAR and Grand National crowns. "There's not a more likable movie currently on view," Time reviewer Richard Schickel wrote about this biopic that marks Pryor's first lead film role.
Description of Moving/Greased Lightning:
Sold as a comedy, this film was really a biopic about Wendell Scott, the first African American to break through on the auto-racing circuit. Richard Pryor (working from a script cowritten by Melvin Van Peebles) conveys the determination and long-suffering humor of a man who battles racial prejudice to pursue the sport he loves. But the material is plodding and Pryor can't elevate it. Nor can director Michael Schultz turn all of those behind-the-wheels scenes into actual cinematic excitement. Still, in rare moments, Pryor (working opposite Pam Grier) manages to sneak out some of the subversive wit that made him a star. --Marshall Fine

Thanks

2009-05-06 - Product was in good condition and just what I ordered, although the packaging was very bad.
Richard Pryor's movie, Moving has finally arrived in a digitital format!
2009-04-16 - This is one of my most anticipated DVD releases! I have been a big fan of Richard Pryor for years and Moving may be his best film yet. Why this movie took so long to make it to DVD is beyond me because it is hilarious! My only objection to this movie is the fact that it should have been released on Blu-ray as well.
dvd moving
2009-03-18 - The DVD I ordered is in perfect condition (NEW) exactly as advertised and the shipping was extemely fast. I am very impressed with the service. I wasnt sure the dvd would play here (Australia) but it works just fine, although I think I need some more experience with shopping online as I accidently ordered TWO dvd's (same title) instead of ONE! Not to worry a friend recieved an unexpected gift! Thanks. Jan Brown (Australia)
