Washington PostHal Hinson
All in all, the picture goes down fairly easily, and by any estimate it's an improvement over other Pryor nonconcert films such as The Toy or even Brewster's Millions. Read full review

Moving isn't anything out of the ordinary, but those who have shared at least some of these experiences ought to find it amusing. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
Since the humor in Moving never rises above the level of a stale sitcom, the film defeats proven comedy director Alan Metter and even its star, Richard Pryor, stuck in the squarest, most strait-jacketed role of his career. Read full review

Miami HeraldHal Boedeker
Alan Metter (Back to School) directed this wildly uneven trifle. Most of the jokes are tasteless or stupid. [08 Mar 1988, p.B5]

TV Guide MagazineStaff (Not Credited)
The movie has only a few bright moments, mainly provided by the fine group of supporting actors. Pryor displays none of his old manic energy, and the film follows suit, proceeding with murderous deliberation. Read full review
