 | Let's Go to Prison - DVD By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/23/2007 6:47 PM | |
I can attest first-hand that there are certain facts about Let's Go to Prison that might make it seem worthwhile. It was directed by Bob Odenkirk, the "Bob" half of the sometimes brilliant sketch comedy show Mr. Show with Bob and David; it was written by other sketch-comedy veterans, driving forces behind The State and, more recently, Reno 911; and it stars Will Arnett from Arrested Development, a show that was not sketch comedy but still favored by comedy connoisseurs. Other loose-collective comedies of this time period, like Talladega Nights or The 40-Year-Old Virgin, pool comedy's best and brightest to thoroughly entertaining results....read the full review |

Jim Hogshire's classic underground tome "You Are Going to Prison" has been perversely "adapted" into the fictive form of "Let's Go to Prison." Created by alumni of cult TV faves "Mr. Show," "The State" and "Reno 911!," off-kilter comedy would surely have received a drubbing (if an unearned one) had it been screened for critics..."Let's Go to Prison" feels like an overextended sketch-comedy idea insufficiently filled out by subsidiary characters (few significantly figure) or standout setpieces. The "fight-to-the-death" climax is routine, the epilogue amusing in concept but flat in execution...Capable cast is headed by Shepard ("Employee of the Month"), who has a very agreeable way of making his bemused, slackerish underplaying the magnetic center of nearly every scene. - Dennis Harvey
San Francisco Chronicle 5 of 10
Close your eyes for a moment, and try to envision a horrible alternate reality where "The Shawshank Redemption" is written by Andrew Dice Clay and directed by Rob Schneider...The result couldn't be much worse than "Let's Go to Prison," a straight to video-quality comedy that somehow got released in theaters over the weekend. This warning comes late because the movie wasn't screened ahead of time for critics -- and for those who got suckered into seeing it, I feel your pain. Maybe we should all start a support group...While Shepard isn't the least bit charismatic or funny, there are a few laughs in the film. Arnett's uptight fish-out-of-water act works after both leads end up as cell mates, and Dylan Baker has a couple of humorous scenes as an evil warden. - Peter Hartlaub
