Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
tiskec This movie is an instant classic. The laughter never stops. The funniest thing about this film is that it isn't that far from the truth of what actually happens behind prison walls. The comedic relief is actually the facts of the matter. The humor in this movie is actually pretty dry, but creative. I found myself laughing more often than not. I like how everyone is against the lawyer, even the people at his own foundation (The Beederman Foundation). It basically says "all lawyers are crooks" ha-ha. At least that's what I got out of it. I also like how the movie took actual prison type scenarios and turned them into comedic drama. That's the best part about it. This movie is a hoot. You'll laugh most of the way through. It will be enjoyed by most people familiar, or unfamiliar, with our justice system.Over all, this movie will keep you laughing, and wondering what will happen next. It's a hell of a laugh fest, with good acting and fun characters. Prepare for a good time.
iamlandlooker This movie is so good and so funny. Almost everyone who has been to prison will love this movie, because so many things are so right on. Do not listen to these nutless sacks who say it is clichés. They are the ones who get f*cked when they get sent up. I think everyone should have to do some time to see what the truth is in racial relationships as well as authorities conduct of martial law. There would be no more of this politically correct crap, which is only a twisting of the truth to make good bad and bad good. Evilness legislated as holiness. These are anti-Christ laws. For that matter there would be a lot less politicians. They would string those bastards up and down from pennsylvania avenue to wall street. But in reality you find out that the blacks will murder most of themselves and every other race. The mexicans will murder the next most. Then the asians who like stabbing even on the streets. Finally the civilized white race who just don't seem to have the murderousness of the rest as if they had a different creator. All of the situations are portrayed in just the right way though as to be hysterical. Wonderful writing, directing, and acting. I would give them 10 stars if they would send me some of that hooch.
gavin6942 When a career criminal's plan for revenge is thwarted by unlikely circumstances, he puts his intended victim's son in his place by putting him in prison... and then joining him.I remember when this film came out (2006) and it looked mildly funny but seems to have fell off the radar. Now (2016) I finally gave it a shot. It's not hilarious, but has its moments and definitely is one of a kind. Other than "Half Baked", I can't think of another prison comedy that compares.What really makes this interesting is how big Will Arnett has become. At the time, I'm sure he was known for "Arrested Development", but he has really blown up with "Lego Batman", "Bojack Horseman", "Flaked" and more... seeing him in this role is a treat.
John Brooks I get it. The Metascore critics only love anything that's intellectual or at least presents itself to be. All the rest is horrible. Yeah well guess what you pseudo-intellectual bigots, this is one heck of a funny film right here, and if you take it for what it is, and you happen to find its humor suitable for about 1hr1/2 one night (humor is very subjective, but this is actually well done if you like that kind), you should be able to give this a fair/above average grade, at least. The plot alone is funny. The gags are, for some, plain hilarious. The whole atmosphere of utter stupidity, far beyond silly, and the complete inability for this film to take itself seriously in whatever possible measure, even for a comedy at that, added how Dax Shepard, Will Arnett or Chi McBride play their ridiculous roles with such attention giving in to the sheer dumbness...make this a fun ride, at least - this isn't just another prison mainstream comedy with predictably bad humor, it's got its own touch, its own particular humor and feel. This is a really fun ride, and if you don't like the first 15min you probably won't like it at all... but if you do like em, all in all it makes for some good fun and you'll remember some of it surely.
