Watch: Brewster’s Millions 1985 123movies, Full Movie Online – Brewster is a minor league baseball player. Unknown to him, he had a (recently deceased) rich relative. In order to test if Brewster knows the value of money, he is given the task of disposing of $30m in 30 days. Brewster isn’t allowed to have any assets to show for the $30m or waste the money in any way. If successful, Brewster gets to inherit $300m. The biggest problem of all however, is that Brewster can’t tell anyone what he’s doing, so everyone thinks he’s crazy. Add to this the fact that if he fails, two scheming trustees will get their hands on the money, Brewster’s task is not an easy one..
Plot: Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit 300 million dollars if he can successfully spend 30 million dollars 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!

Pryor and Candy go wild, while Larry Tate is a slimy executive yet again
Believe it or not, “Brewster’s Millions”, in which Richard Pryor plays a guy who has to spend $30 million in 30 days so that he can inherit $300 million from his late uncle (Hume Cronyn) but can’t tell anyone the second part, is based on a 1902 novel. And a funny adaptation it is! Pryor plays a baseball player who prefers partying with his buddy (John Candy). Once it’s time for him to start spending, he goes all out. I will say that this isn’t the best work for either of them, but Walter Hill’s movie definitely elicits its share of laughs. The best part is Brewster’s mayoral campaign: he’s the most truthful candidate of all time (or at least the most realistic).The executives who formally give Brewster the money reminded me very much of the Dukes in “Trading Places”. As it is, one of them is played by a man who seems to have spent much of his career playing bombastic executives: David White, aka Larry Tate on “Bewitched”. He went from playing an executive in “The Apartment”, to playing the boss of a man married to a witch, to playing an executive who gives $30 million to a rule-trashing cool dude. What a country indeed!
Anyway, the movie is at once a parable about profligacy and also just a plain old fun comedy. Brewster is a guy who, quite simply, knows how to party. Like I said, it’s not the funniest movie ever, but you definitely get some laughs out of it.
Very good work
I genuinely liked this movie. Richard Pryor in 1985 and before is one of the finest comedians/actors. If you saw “Blue Collar” or “Stir Crazy” or that one with the blind kids on the bus, you will see what I mean. John Candy is without a doubt the funniest comedy actor after Don Knotts (my opinion of course, there are many great comedic actors). I only had one problem with this movie. For instance, when Brewsters rich uncle said that it was against the rules to buy a picasso and then turn it into firewood, how come he was able to buy a valuable stamp, and then have it canceled by mailing (in effect, devaluing it)? I guess it wouldn’t matter since he could give some money away, but then why not just give it all to one person and save the time?
