Load of rubbish!!
Crappy film
Awesome Movie
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
I watched this movie about four times by now I guess. And it's always funny as when I watched it the very first time.The funny thing about this movie is that actors are not trying to be funny at all because I really hate those comedies where character(s) are trying so hard to be funny (Hangover, Neighbors etc).I don't find funny drunk guys laughing like idiots, not remembering what they did last night (and they did a lot stupid things, obviously).I find funny when a guy in prison bus asks another guy "Where you heading?" and he answers "To prison." and the first guy says "Hah, me too.I tell you what,we should be cellmates. I don't snore and I'm a pretty quiet masturbator"Also, warden's welcome speech and making fun with Mr. Shanahan regarding bets on prisoners were brilliant.All in all, this is not a movie for those who have ordinary sense of humor, this movie will work only for those with dry humor.
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.
This movie is hilarious, some people are so hard to please. First of all, Dax Shepard's character is hilariously named Lyshitski. Dax kinda' annoys me, I do think he's funny so I don't understand why that is. It might be because he's dating Kristen Bell and I never understood her appeal. Also, he looks like a ped0 next to her so that might be another reason. But anyway, he's funny in this movie. As for the guy that played, Biederman.....bravo, great performance. He does a great job at playing scared shiteless. Lastly, the warden's speech in the beginning when they first get to prison is so funny I had to rewind it so I could see it again.
Not long into watching "Let's Go To Prison", I started to wonder if this movie was originally constructed as a direct-to-video release or as a cable movie, instead of being made for theaters. Researching the production company, I saw that almost all their other credits are TV work. Also, the production values of the movie aren't so hot - though not serious cheap to the eye, the movie boasts some evident cost-cutting, like the frequent use of close-ups. Still, I think the movie still could have worked - but it doesn't. It simply isn't that funny, with no spin done on tired prison clichés that long stopped being funny. (As well, there are some scenes that seem to be intended to be *serious* - what the...?) Also, there is not one sympathetic character in the movie, making it hard to care about the fate of anyone. I will admit that the (mostly) non-name cast does manage to show they have talent, enough that I hope they manage to move past this movie and get better quality productions to work on. But this isn't enough to save the movie.
