The movie revolves around the racial discrimination in the US's past and the principle of justice and how sometimes justice can take its own time getting there, but it does get there. I have to agree with the review by Daniel Jolley in that it is a movie with a very strong message but with some seriously funny scenes throughout the entire movie right to the end! I'm sure you're going to laugh your heads off! Worth the price itself.įor those of you have seen the movie, I'm sure you've laughed out loud when that statement in the title of my review was made and for those who are about to see it. But it is much much more.įantastic ending. Those expecting just that may be disappointed (unless they go straight to the hilarious outtakes). ![]() The trailers show hilarity, and lead one to think this is a true comedy. As we know they must though, they find some hope, some enjoyment, and even some meaning in their circumstance.Īnother reviewer hit the nail on the head: this movie was erroneously marketed. Murphy wants more assertiveness from his sidekick, vowing not to die having given up hope like his Father. Conservative Lawrence (yeah, him) not only blames the typically hustling Murphy for getting him into the situation in the first place. There is one scene common to both, though, with the prisoners resolving their issue boxing in the prison yard with typical results.Īs they age, their mutual disappointment makes their friendship ebb and flow from like to dislike and back (of course). Like C.H.L., the brutality of prison life is left mercifully for other films. ![]() It is very different from my other favorite prison movie, Cool Hand Luke. They do persevere after, through and despite any number of bad (some unbelievable) circumstances. They are a pair of convicts, one of whom caught up after being "along for the ride", but jailed nonetheless for life in the South some fifty years ago. I did enjoy this movie, even as I enjoyed Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy's more popular and critically acclaimed work.
