Kingslaay This was an enjoyable and entertaining film. Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence put on a great comedic performance as an unlikely duo. Both come from different worlds that one day collide. The duo realize they share some things in common, people cannot be judged so easily. This is a film with a simple plot, lots of laughs and has a strong feel good element. Martin Lawrence brings his unique brand of crude yet charming humor to the screen and Tim Robbins more than holds his own. This simple story has a number of twists, moments of comedic genius and a very satisfying end. You don't always have huge expectations watching these type of films so you're pleasantly surprised and gained something from watching it.

Sandcooler Buddy movies are a dime a dozen, but when they work they work. The brilliant Tim Robbins and a surprisingly tolerable Martin Lawrence really go nicely together, it's just fun to see them get into well, let's say wacky adventures or something. The movie's consistently funny, but it also works very well in its dramatic parts. Some bits might be rather corny, but the scenes in T's apartment are just genuinely touching. Also at some point Tim Robbins is dancing around with his shoes on fire while that song "Scatman" is playing. If that can't earn a movie a good grade, I seriously don't know what can. Overall this is a very witty and God save us all, heart-warming movie.

Boba_Fett1138 This movie surprised me how entertaining it was. It's simple like most other mismatched buddy-flicks but this movie has a certain bit of extra, which not in the least thanks to its fine solid cast.Thank goodness it's not the type of comedy that forces its humor upon people. The comedy of the movie is more in the chemistry between Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins. Yes, it sounds weird but Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence are really a great screen duo, with some nice comedy chemistry, that get themselves into some fun trouble when by coincidence embarking on a sort of road-trip together. Like in all road-movies, some crazy characters pop-up. The most sensational one's in this movie are being played by John C. McGinley and Giancarlo Esposito, who form a criminal-duo. The diversity of John C. McGinley as an actor is amazing. Just look at the list of movies he has done and the characters he has played.But the greatest power of the movie is the chemistry between the two main actors and their individual comical skills. Tim Robbins is a great serious actors, who just happens to like doing comedies as well from time to time. But on top of that he also really has talent for the genre. He knows how the deliver the lines in the right way and knows how to time his moments. Martin Lawrence also has been the sort of comical-actor who fun with his dialog. As a stand-alone actor and when he needs to carry a movie on his own he just isn't good enough but when he teams up with another great comical actor (for example as was the case with Will Smith in "Bad Boys"), he's truly at his best and most fun to watch.The story unfolded nicely and slowly. Nothing got forced and things just happened as they came along, such as always is the case in road-movies. It at the same time also makes the movie surprising, or at least not as predictable or formulaic as most other comedies. The movie has a couple of greatly build-up moments, some more subtle than the other, but always fun and in some cases even hilarious to watch. Look out for Irma P. Hall as Martin Lawrence's character's mother! It's true that the movie doesn't live up to its fine fast paced start but nevertheless the movie remains fun to watch throughout.It's a movie surprisingly well worth seeing!7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Lee Eisenberg OK, so most of Martin Lawrence's movies are pretty worthless. But "Nothing to Lose" is pretty funny. Tim Robbins plays a yuppie who gets fed up with his life and drives into the ghetto. There, he meets up with a hoodlum (Martin Lawrence), and the two proceed to form their own plans...at any cost.I will admit that this movie has practically no artistic value, just a bunch of silly situations. But it's impossible not to like, as both men have to try and respect each other. And anyway, it's just funny when a rich white guy and black ghetto guy have to team up. Worth seeing, if only once.I wonder if anyone really does own a statue like that.
