Reviews
The short and the sweet of it: Let's Go to Prison is one of the worst pieces of Hollywood garbage I have ever seen.
...has its share of effective moments - most of which come courtesy of star Will Arnett...
Though sloppily edited like a bad B-movie, this poor man's version of Trading Places will undoubtedly resonate for anyone with a taste for gruesome gallows humor, and a desire to see a spoiled, rich kid get a taste of how the other half lives.
its off-kilter wit is displayed with stinginess (or is it laziness?).
Prison makes its 84-minute running time feel like a five-year sentence with no chance for parole.
It's hard to get laughs out of stuff that devolved into parody 10 or 20 years ago.
If movies could be punished, Let's Go to Prison would be sent to solitary confinement for impersonating a prison comedy.
As crazy and subversive as Let's Go to Prison's makers might believe it to be, it's too undisciplined and predictable to amount to anything
Arnett underplays to the point where he seems as shellshocked as his character, while Shepard seems to have forgotten that the film is supposed to be a comedy.
Because the movie can't bring itself to take that leap into full-on absurdity, the characters and comic opportunities stay confined to their cells.
Let's Go to Prison feels like an overextended sketch-comedy idea insufficiently filled out by subsidiary characters (few significantly figure) or standout setpieces.
