Critic Reviews
-
Loren King, Chicago Tribune
The formulaic script, stocked with not one truly menacing inmate, echoes far too many sentimental post-Full Monty imports.
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
A prison comedy that never really busts out of its comfy little cell.
-
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
It's what the Brits themselves might call fair to middling.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
No worse a film than Breaking Out, and Breaking Out was utterly charming.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A pleasing but routine British comedy set in an English prison.
