Predrag This one is a "I've had a rubbish day I'm gonna eat a worm" staple for me. Yes, it's funny, and yes, in an obvious, non-intellectual, loud and very American sort of way. Tim Robbins is a serious actor but in this he lets his hair down starring along side Martin Lawrence.Martin Lawrence churns these sorts of films out every five minutes, but when this movie was released, he was still riding reasonably high from Bad Boys two years prior. But, casting Robbins in this was a really strange move. He'd just directed Dead Man Walking, and was still fresh from that prison movie (to be fair, the audience this was aimed at, probably had only just seen Shawshank on video when this was released). And it's a really curious movie, not really funny, and it has a really depressing edge to it. Robbins is wonderful in his role, and just looks like he's having a lot of fun, doing this for some release from all the seriousness. There is an interesting twist at the end (all comes out in the wash scenario), with lots of comedy sketches in between. Overall, the mix between comedy and story is well balanced, will keep you laughing until the very last scene.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Prismark10 Nothing to Lose is another one of these mismatched buddy comedies. As one actor is black and the other is white there is also a whiff that it was offered to Eddie Murphy who turned it down before Martin Lawrence was cast.Robbins plays a man who finds his wife cheating and it spirals into a bad day as he encounters carjacker Lawrence but Robbins has nothing to lose and has a death wish and hence begins a road trip with Lawrence getting involved in hold ups and then they encounter two other more ruthless outlaws who pursues them back to Los Angeles.The comedy and some of the scenes are rather corny and its also patchy. Lawrence although successful in comedy films has always been a little irritating and Eddie Murphy lite to me. Maybe its the scripts he gets or maybe as an actor he has limited range.Robbins does dramatic well and also throws himself into the slapstick such as his shoes catching fire. However he also has had misfires in the past when he tried his hand in comedy films, remember Howard: The Duck!There is some nice music especially the end title song but the film also wants to crow bar a social message as Lawrence is educated, clever, resourceful but unable to get a job and reduced to a life of crime. Not sure that works.

Hitmanofnorway This movie was excellent and funny as hell... Seriously see this movie, i bought this one at a used DVD shop thinking it may be worth a watch. and I was pleasantly surprised by how funny this movie was. Basically: Awesome acting especially by Lawrence, Robbins and McGinley. Awesome script, Steve Oedekerk had to be high or something. It's so delightfully random but the again standard comedy that we can all enjoy.The scene with the security guard and his 2 hours of dancing (Just watch the film!)Pretty sure it's "ONE" of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I've never really liked Steve Oedekerk. I want to give his movies a chance, but I'm not very happy with the fate and state of the second Ace Ventura film and I just am not into his humor. I've never really understood why physical violence, repetition and "silly"/stupid humor was funny. I remember watching this some years back, and, heck, I don't know, something in me just wanted to watch it again. I could remember the plot(well, the basics of it) and the majority of the jokes I could either remember in detail or they didn't seem familiar at all(meaning, I most likely didn't find them funny the first time I watched it). I believe the number of times I laughed while watching this could be counted on the hand of an overeager and careless teenager right after he's celebrated New Year's Eve or the 4th of July. And that might even be both viewings put together. But somehow... I never really wanted the movie to end. I never felt remotely like turning it off and I would be lying if I claimed to have been bored by it. The plot, sure, it's simple... but it works. It develops nicely, too, and, as stereotypical and ludicrous as these characters were... I kid you not, I felt for them. Oedekerk treads the fine line between melodrama and discreet character development masterfully. The dialog has moments of grandeur. The acting is credible. As lame as the following may sound... it is a pleasure to watch Oedekerk himself, in his little role, just getting wacky and zany. The man is clearly enjoying himself, and it's hard not to smile at, and not in a cruel way(though that may be what he intended). And could the movie possibly feature a better soundtrack? I don't think there was a single song that I didn't care for or thought didn't fit(and they all do seem to be songs... complete with lyrics... unusual, but it works, and it works *great*). To anyone not into the genre, I must warn you... some of it is, indeed, rap. It's not really dominating, though, and it's not that much of the music, anyway. Lawrence and Robbins have pretty good chemistry together... as buddy-comedy pairings go, this is one of the luckier ones. And to anyone else out there who have noticed John C. McGinley's name on the cast list and are hoping that he plays something similar to Dr. Cox... I can assure you, while he doesn't have an awful lot of screen-time, he does, in fact, portray a character possessing many of the same characteristics(well, let's be honest, he hardly ever plays something in the other end of the spectrum, anyhow... not that I mind, mind... you). All in all... I cannot, for the life of me, explain why, but this movie entertained me. I didn't laugh, but I never felt like I was wasting my time, either. Somehow, this just works, even if you don't care for the humor contained within. Oedekerk, you've shown a new side of yourself. I shall seek out more of your work to see if this was a lucky coincidence... or if you truly have that talent. I recommend this film... I don't know, I guess mainly to fans of Mr. Oedekerk, and possibly the actors Robbins, Lawrence and McGinley. 7/10
