Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Brewster's Millions is worth clearing space for. Brewster's Millions does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Monty Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit $300 million if he can successfully spend $30 million in 30 days without anything to show for it, and without telling anyone what he's up to... A task that's a lot harder than it sounds! Between them, Richard Pryor and John Candy carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 1985. Brewster's Millions earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Brewster's Millions is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Richard Pryor's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Brewster's Millions was released in 1985, directed by Walter Hill. The full 97-minute film is available to watch now.
