I kind of enjoyed this when I first saw it in the early 1980s but it hasn't stood the test of time.
The Richard Prior / Bill Cosby bickering storyline is painfully unfunny. Who laughs at stepping over broken glass and other physical accidents these days? These two make even the Mr. Bean movies look like masterpieces.
The Walter Matthau plot where he wakes up with a comatose call girl in bed was just dull and painful.
Maggie Smith, (looking particularly young), flying to LA for the Oscars with her bisexual hubby Michael Caine is the only plot worth watching. The Alan Alda character is also quite likeable. Hence the three stars for those three characters.
