As Richard Pryor non-concert comedies go, Moving is pretty much at the top of the list. That may not be saying much, but Pryor's incredibly put-upon performance makes it mostly worthwhile. The movie follows Pryor as his life bottoms out in New Jersey, only to be renewed by a dream job in Idaho. The relocation process takes center stage, as everything that can go wrong, does. Cute and harmless.
