Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Majikat It's fun and laughable in many parts. Not quite as good as others starring this pair, but watchable all the same

maartendeveirman This movie shows the all-round quality of Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. This movie show they can play more than only comedy. The storyline gives us as well an image of racism in that time. Racism is still current in the present day. Keep on fighting against racism!!!!

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to Life (1999) Plot In A Paragraph: In 1932, two strangers (Murphy and Lawrence) are wrongfully convicted and develop a strong friendship in prison that lasts them through the 20th century.This is the last movie starring Eddie Murphy, that I chose to go see at the cinema!! That is not counting voice work, I went to see with my kids. This reteams Murphy with his Boomerang costar, Martin Lawrence. 7 years ago, Murphy was a huge star, and Murphy was relatively unknown. Now they were on an equal footing. Ned Beatty (Deliverance) has a small but important role. I enjoy this movie, and consider it to be under rated. I usually watch this every couple of years. Murphy and Lawrence had genuine chemistry and some out takes and ad libs are actually in the movie. I think this is probably Murphy's last good comedy!! It's not a laugh riot, but it's a seriously touching movie. Probably in my Top 10 Murphy movies.Life grossed $63 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 34th highest grossing movie of the year.

areatw It's strange how this is one of Eddie Murphy's least popular and least well-known movies, yet I'd consider it to be one of my favourites of his. 'Life' is a great comedy movie, with a funny plot and an entertaining bunch of characters, but it also carries a deeper meaning and is just as much a tale about friendship and social injustice as it about making the audience laugh.The on-screen relationship between Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence is without doubt the best part of this film. Individually they are great actors and funny guys but their performance together in this film was one of the most memorable and enjoyable of any comedy movie I've seen. The characters are at the forefront of everything that happens in this film and every laugh comes from them rather than the story. 'Life' is underrated and deserves more recognition, especially as an Eddie Murphy film.
