Summary: DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS...TRUST ME!!!
Review: If you're expecting a staight-up comedy movie, then you probably will be disappointed. This movie mixes drama and comedy in the most perfect way. Anyone that says this movie is not good, obviously missed the whole point of the movie. The movie takes place during the 1930's...the set and costumes were great. I feel that the chemistry between Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence was superb. Kudos to Rick James as his roll of 'Spanky'...he played the role well.

Summary: Eddie is hilarious!!
Review: This is a wonderful movie. Eddie Murphy is totally hilarious in this movie. Its basically about two guys (Eddie and Martin) who have to serve a life sentence in jail for a crime in which they were framed. Its about them forming a bond of friendship, but as you will see this takes years. Great effects on ageing Martin and Eddie in different stages of their lives. The only bad thing about this film was that it tended to drag at certian points. This type of movie reminds me of Oh Brother Where Art Thou with its southern humor and setting in the past. I highly recommend both of these movies.

Summary: The Supporting Cast Made this Movie Soooo Funny!!
Review: At this writing, the previous reviews have given you the basic premise of this Comedy/Drama. Circumstances bring two total strangers together. They wind up going to jail serving life sentences. They go throught event which cause them to hate each other but eventually they realize they are friends for LIFE.
Thinking of only Eddie and Martin, I initially planned to give this movie only 3 stars. However, I quickly recalled the supporting cast!! H I L A R I O U S!!You had Miguel A. Núñez Jr. and Bernie Mac's characters messing w/Martin all the time. Oh my, did I laugh. And of course, in most of Eddie's movies, the costume and make-up transformation is always top notch!

Summary: Not the aggressive Lawrence/Murphy humor; still a good movie
Review: I did enjoy this movie, even as I enjoyed Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy's more popular and critically acclaimed work. 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. They do persevere after, through and despite any number of bad (some unbelievable) circumstances. Life in prison makes them close. It is very different from my other favorite prison movie, Cool Hand Luke. Like C.H.L., the brutality of prison life is left mercifully for other films. There is one scene common to both, though, with the prisoners resolving their issue boxing in the prison yard with typical results. As they age, their mutual disappointment makes their friendship ebb and flow from like to dislike and back (of course). Conservative Lawrence (yeah, him) not only blames the typically hustling Murphy for getting him into the situation in the first place. Murphy wants more assertiveness from his sidekick, vowing not to die having given up hope like his Father. As we know they must though, they find some hope, some enjoyment, and even some meaning in their circumstance. Another reviewer hit the nail on the head: this movie was erroneously marketed. The trailers show hilarity, and lead one to think this is a true comedy. Those expecting just that may be disappointed (unless they go straight to the hilarious outtakes). But it is much much more. Fantastic ending. Worth the price itself.

Summary: What the hell?
Review: Whats wrong with the movie? Even though it wasn't completely as funny as it was advertised doesn't mean it isn't a good movie. I thought it was great and the ending was funny and clever. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Eddie Murphy or Martin Lawrence.

Summary: Boring!!!
Review: After watching this movie, I felt as if my own life was wasted just from watching it. What a piece of garbage. Eddie Murphy is funny, but not always and this movie is the exception. This is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Anyway.. here's the basic plot:
In the mid-1990s, two inmates bury the burned bodies of two lifers at Mississippi's Parchman Farm; a third old-timer relates their story. They'd served 65 years for a murder they didn't commit, framed by a local sheriff while buying moonshine whiskey for a Manhattan club owner to whom they owed money. Although the plot may sound good.. trust me it's not.

Summary: Great Film!
Review: This film was perhaps the last film that Eddie Murphy was geniunely funny in and Martin Lawrance was a geniunely effective actor. Both comedians truly shined in this film and were funny as hell! I recall the scene where Murphy and Martain's character staged a fight and Murphy spelled out SOFT and his taughts against Claude. Funny film and great acting!

Summary: Funny & Brilliant; Not a Comedy
Review: This movie is one of the best films I've ever seen. It has its funny, even hilarious moments - but it's not a comedy, by a longshot. It's one of the best, most heartwrenching dramas, and was all the more pleasant for being completely unexpected. The plot concerns two men, who were framed for a crime they didn't commit, and their lives in jail after they are sent to prison for life. It does a wonderful job of subtly showing the racial tensions and interplays in the time period and also showing the changes that come about later on in the time and how it affects their lives in the prison. Get this movie. You won't be disappointed.
