Summary: very good
Review: this movie shows you how a bunch of prisoners become close friends. I wasn't expecting this sort of movie when i rented it. I thought it was going to be a typical eddie murphy story but i was very wrong. poeple who hate eddie murphy can enjoy this movie. To bad he tries to be like in his other movies allthough this clearly doesn't fit in the story. another bad thing is the ending. It isn't appropriate for this movie.

Summary: I loved this movie
Review: I dont know why everyone else is saying that this movie is no good just because it isnt a "straight up" comedy. They obviously missed the whole point of the movie. This is a movie about two guys- Murphy and Lawrence- who are framed for murder and sentenced to LIFE in prison. I loved it because of the mix of drama and comedy and because of how realistic it was. Don't get me wrong- there were some funny parts.(for example, when Martin Lawrence runs to steal the pie, and after taking the first bite, has to scream because it is too hot) Also, the special effect makeup couldn't have been better.

Summary: Boring!
Review: This has got to be the most boring movie I've seen in the past couple of years. The people writing good reviews for this movie must be friends of people who made it or have some financial interest in promoting it because it is BORING!Do not waste your money on this yawner.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: I saw this at the movies and can't wait to get it on DVD. It is a dramatic movie mixed with comedy which makes it well-rounded. Perfect characters portrayed by Eddie, Martin, Bernie Mac & the other guy(can't remember his name, I think Sparks). Plus everyone else. If you didn't like it b/c you were expecting 2hrs of nonstop humor then you missed out totally on what the movie was about.

Summary: One of the funniest movies Martin made!!!!
Review: This movie is in the top 3 of my chart with Martin Lawrence. He is my favorite actor and putting him with Eddie Murphy is just genius. I really enjoyed this movie and if I had the time i would watch it everyday!

Summary: Martin + Eddie = BAD
Review: Who had the bright idea of putting Eddie "Egomanic" Murphy and Martin "Big Unfunny Momma" Lawrence together in one film. The result of these 2 actors teaming up is box office poison. This film was very heavily billed as a comedy. I will admit it, some parts were trying to be funny, but not trying that hard. The "funny" moments were all shown in the trailer. This movie was a drama, a bad drama, but a drama nonetheless. It showed the hardships of being in this prison camp, but did not try to go out of their way to make it humorous. This film is the kind of lowbrow film that only the uneducated could really sit there and think that they got a fair deal. The rest of the semi-educated population of this fine country will walk away feeling that they got ripped off, not of just their money, but of their time, and some of their intelligence.

Summary: Not The Funniest, But Still A Great Movie!
Review: Okay, so most people were expecting another "Beverly Hill's Cop" or another "Bad Boys" LIFE wasn't the all time funniest movie...but it certainly wasn't the all time worst movie, either. I must say, I really enjoyed it! I think that Eddie and Martin make an excellent team....and I like how the movie takes place in the 1930's. Anyways, you won't find this movie hilarious, but you still may get a kick out of it.

Summary: Good Rental
Review: I love it when Martin Lawerence isn't acting so over the top. If you have nothing to do on the weekend this makes a great rental.

Summary: Funny AND realistic
Review: There are not many movies who manages to be funny and is trying to tell a dramatic story. But "Life" is both of it. And the humor doesn't take anything away of the drama and the drama doesn't make it less funny. I think there is just enough drama and humour to make this movie very entertaining. There is also very good music in the movie which is a perfect mix of music of around 1940 and R&B of this time (which I really liked). I also want to say that this movie is not as funny as the distributors are saying, because this is a story about two men who have to be in jail for the rest of their life's while they are innocent. And you can't tell a story like that while being hilarious all the time. The movie also shows pretty realistic how it was back then for a black man to be in jail (though, some things are a little bit unbelieveble). The movie also has an original (and VERY surprising) ending which I won't tell, because you have to see it for yourself. And after the movie thee are of course (almost standard with Imagine comedys) bloopers, which are really funny!
