Critics consensus

“Entertaining if not over-the-top humor from a solid comic duo provides plenty of laughs.”

RTWashington PostJan 1, 2000

We have been treated to something we normally would never get in a prison comedy like this: a little delicacy with the humor.

Life plays more like This Is Your Life for Eddie Murphy, cobbling together elements from his earlier, funnier movies.

Michael Wilmington

RTChicago TribuneJan 1, 2000

Funny, sad, conventional, unpredictable -- just like the real thing!

Y’know, this was pretty solid. Kind of a funnier riff on The Shawshank Redemption, if not … well … as good.
