Review:

Tim: This is an amazingly horrible movie. I never would have thought two incredible actors like Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence could combine forces to create such a gawd awful film. I heard nothing but great reviews for this movie. I heard it was hysterical. Heck, since it's a comedy, I thought it would at least be funny, with two comic masters such as Murphy and Lawrence. This film tried very hard at being funny- but it wasn't. It was boring, sad and pathetic, and an awful waste of my time.

Murphy and Lawrence are in jail for forty some years, and you feel every one of them. By the end of the film, you are praying they will just die so you can move on to something better(however, they just don't!!). Life is a wretched movie, and I never in my Life want to see it again.

Viewers, beware of this film. Only rent this if you feel like watching an unfunny, putrid film. I personally think spending the rest of my life behind bars would be more entertaining than having to watch this ever again.
