Plot: Felon John Lyshitski has figured out the best way to get revenge on the now-dead judge who sent him to jail: watch the official's obnoxious son, Nelson Biederman IV, survive the clink. John strikes go...( read more read more... )ld when Nelson is wrongly convicted of a crime and sent to the pen he used to call home. He gleefully gets sent back to become Nelson's cellmate and to ensure that his new buddy gets the "full treatment." Let the games begin. Lesson #1: the joint's a scary place, so you better make friends fast. Right away, Nelson offends the wrong cons and is sold--by John--to Barry for prison snuggling. But, just as revenge starts tasting sweet, Nelson becomes Big Man in the Big House and turns the tables on John--changing the rules of his insane game.

    Much like Employee of the Month, this movie was surprisingly not-horrible. Weird. In this one Dax Shepard is charming in an odd, losery sort of way which somehow manages to carry an otherwise ridiculously stupid story to mediocre heights it could never have reached on it's own.

    The main problem with this movie is it's tone. It can't decide if it is a parody of prison movies or just another raunchy comedy. It just doesn't work on either level which is sad because the cast and crew have been better in other movies and TV shows.

    "... quilty. - You mean guilty?"

    Watch two annoying men, whom you've got no interest of, hang out in prison and swindle (that's a cool word) their way out of prison.

    I'll admit, there's some funny scenes but they're more of a reminder of something funny I've seen earlier in other movies.

    This movie is halarious. The plot was very creative, the actors all did great jobs, and its unpredictable. It's everything anyone who enjoys a good comedy would want in a movie.
    Besides maybe those who has really been to Prison.. heh..

    This movie is a gem to me. It has the ridiculousness of what many comedies show as prison, it's got the seriousness of romantic comedy (you'd have to see it for that make sense), and it has the factoids of another of favorite movies "Thank You for Smoking". It's just a great movie.

    Well I love Dax Shepeard and Chi McBride...they've done some really good stuff...but it wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be. Man this had a lot of potentional...but it was just slow. 1 1/2 hours of wasted time when I could've watch something actually funny.

    Really silly movie, rented it thinking Will Arnett would make it worth while, but its obvious he can't hold a movie on his own, he definately works better as a side character. I loved him in Arrested Development but struggled to enjoy any of his other films! Really dumb with only a few funny moments.

    I thought this was going to be bad when I saw the TV spots, and I wouldn't have given it a chance at all but my best friend saw it and said it amused him. The humor is slow-paced but quite funny! Silly story, yes, but the acting is charming & the ending is awesome. Will Arnett for President!

    Suprisingly Better Than I Thought
    Funnier & Cooler
    Although It's Self Loathing But Who Cares it Gives U A Good Time
    But I Gotta Say if They Gave More Time TO Shepard It Would Even better

    Usually, comedies that have "outtake" stuff under the end credits, the outtakes aren't funny at all. This time, the end credits bit is the only funny thing in the movie.

    I had heard constantly in reviews about how bad this movie was, so when I finally saw it--I was pleasantly surprised. The movie actually had me laughing hard at several points, and Will Arnett was great as always.

    This movie was horrible. I watched this because I am a fan of Will Arnett. This was a terrible idea for a movie and it should have never been made. This movie definitely lacked laughs.

    funny! Actually, I was suprosed. It'S impressive this simple comedy like I'm tired of has been able to make me laugh. First time since Borat! Seriously, this is probably one of the less stupid comedies of the year!

    Was I expecting Shawshank, In The Name Of The Father or Animal Factory from this film? Of course not just hoping it was funny. It has moments thanks to Will I need a better agent Arnett but those laughs are not much and there's no reason why I should forgive the filmmaker for how dull this was.

    John Lyshitski (Dax Shepard) is a young guy who's spent most of his life in prison, blaming the judge who continuously sent him them, he hatches his plan for revenge. But he dies three days before he gets free of prison, so John decides to go after the judge's son, Nelson (Will Arnet of brilliant "Arrested Development" fame) John's plan is to frame Nelson, get him sent to jail, and then get himself sent to the same jail to bunk with him, which he accomplishes. But things don't always go as planned afterwords though. Not that's it's the most marketable picture. It's not light enough to be a straight forward comedy, though it's not that dark. Darker than most comedies, but compared to Very Bad Things, it's nothing. Although the tone is never quite perfect, the film is nonetheless hilarious throughout most of its insanely brief running time. Dax Shepard, Will Arnett, Chi McBride, Bob Odenkirk, and David Koechner are all very funny in their roles and appear to be having a good time with their parts. Odenkirk, obviously working with a low-budget and limited resources, directs admirably even when it is obvious even wasn't given complete creative freedom. movie was also cute in a sense, with a happy sappy yet also depraved ending. I don't know what else to say about this movie except to just give it a go, I seriously don't know who wouldn't find this movie funny. It's just plain silly.

    I actually chuckled enough to kinda' enjoy the movie. I thought both Will Arnet and Dax Shepard were funny in their roles. But the plot was weak and with a weak plot comes a weak grade: D+.

    This movie was funny in some parts, and it's ok to see it i guess, but it's nothing special. But I rate it 4/5 coz still it was worth watching it.
