Some Kind of Hero is yet another example of how Richard Pryor can take a mediocre film and elevate it to the level of his extraordinary talents.

...The film is a marvelous showcase for Pryor's special blend of seriocomedic turns....Pryor's performance is really worth seeing...
Variety
There aren't enough good Richard Pryor bits in Some Kind of Hero which means that Pryor still isn't being used to his best advantage by Hollywood.

...A very engaging, loose-limbed sort of comedy....[Pryor's] most complete, most honest characterization to date...
New York Times
Richard Pryor is not only an inspired comedian, but such a fine all-around actor that it's a pity he can't find better material than Some Kind of Hero, which Is every kind of flop.

An embarrassingly bad concoction.

It may not sound like much of a howler, but with Pryor's talent and Michael Pressman's able directing, there are plenty of laughs and some touching moments as well --most of them in the first half.
