Let's Go to Prison Reviews

Punk'd star in adult jail-house comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2011

Shepard's character periodically rattles off damning statistics about America's booming prison industry, but most of the gags are of the don't-drop-the-soap variety.

| Jul 28, 2009

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

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 23, 2009

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 20, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 27, 2007

89 minutes that drag on like, well, a prison sentence.

its off-kilter wit is displayed with stinginess (or is it laziness?).

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2007

Oh gee, let's not.

Let's not. And say we did.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 3, 2006

Prison makes its 84-minute running time feel like a five-year sentence with no chance for parole.

| Original Score: D | Nov 27, 2006

It's hard to get laughs out of stuff that devolved into parody 10 or 20 years ago.

| Original Score: D | Nov 23, 2006

Life's too short.

Full Review | Nov 22, 2006

Consider this one disarmed and extremely pointless.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Nov 21, 2006

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

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.

Full Review | 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

Let's Go to Prison feels like an overextended sketch-comedy idea insufficiently filled out by subsidiary characters (few significantly figure) or standout setpieces.
