    04/09/2011 (ONLINE) <b>FUNNY! </b>I enjoyed this awkward partnership that made things dangerously hilarious. Putting oil with water only causes separation but if you shake things up you have "Nothing to Lose" right? This is old-school for me and seeing it now still has me bursting with laughter, not only that but a pretty dramatic situation that intensifies the humor... hoping for the best and laughing at the worst. <i>You got nothing to do? Put this on... kick back... you got "Nothing To Lose".</i>

    Hilarious. Tim Robbins and Martin Lawerence make a surprisingly brilliant comedy act. Must see film!

    Nick Beam (Tim Robbins) is a creative advertising executive who believes that his wife Ann (Kelly Preston) is having an affair with his slimy boss. Shocked and upset, he is driving aimlessly when a street thug (Martin Lawrence) tries to carjack him but it's the wrong day, as Nick no longer has any concern for his own well being and calls the carjacker's bluff. ``You sure picked the wrong guy,'' Nick says, flooring the accelerator. On the way back they forge a friendship and devise a scheme to rob his boss to get even for the so-called affair.
