Milkman Clyde Williams (Sidney Poitier) and his best friend, Billy Foster (Bill Cosby), are members of a fraternal lodge, The Brothers and Sisters of Shaka, that needs money for the retirement home they sponsor. Since Clyde has a gift for hypnotism, they decide to fix an upcoming boxing match by hypnotizing the underdog fighter (Jimmie Walker). The scam works, and the men collect big winnings before a couple of mafia dons realize they've been tricked and decide to track Clyde and Billy down.

Poiter is overly generous with the actors: he isn't skilled enough to shape sequences so that the actors can benefit from their closeups.

3/4

Let's Do It Again isn't a terribly ambitious comedy, but within its limitations it works well. And it's completely good natured.

Most of its gags are sub-Disney.

It's not GREAT cinema or anything like that. Just a fun mild diversion, though I will probably watch it again just too see all of Cosby's great facial mugging.
