Punk'd star in adult jail-house comedy.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2011

As a comedy, Bob Odenkirk's penitentiary send-up is bootless.

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...
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2007
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.

Consider this one disarmed and extremely pointless.

If movies could be punished, Let's Go to Prison would be sent to solitary confinement for impersonating a prison comedy.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 20, 2006
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
| Original Score: D | Nov 20, 2006

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.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 20, 2006
