Movie Review: hmmm
Summary: 4 Stars
Great Movie, I didn't give it a 5 stars because it reminded me the injustice of the South at the time. Overall a fun movie to watch not the best.
Summary of Life (dvd)
In 1930's Harlem two men are framed for murder, what ensues is a comical look at their lives together in prison over the next sixty years.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 6-JAN-2004
Media Type: DVD
Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy play it surprisingly straight in this film by director Ted Demme. Though there are laughs to be had, this is a story about perseverance in the face of a life of disappointment (yet the film was sold as a prison comedy). But Stir Crazy this isn't. Rather, Lawrence and Murphy play a couple of New Yorkers making a moonshine run from New York to Mississippi during the Prohibition who find themselves framed for murder and sentenced for life to a prison chain gang. As they age, the two become close friends, although the strait-laced Lawrence always resents the free-wheeling Murphy for getting him into the situation in the first place. Ultimately, these two men learn to find meaning where they can, taking value from friendship and their limited ability to affect the lives of others. At times preachy, it ends on an upbeat note; the film's biggest laughs are reserved for the final section, in which Lawrence and Murphy don age makeup and play octogenarians. --Marshall Fine
