With its cavalier title and bad-taste scenarios, you might not realise this is meant to be a comedy until you scratch the CVs of its main players. And even then, it’s like the unwanted child of The Shawshank Redemption after an ill-advised drunken rut with a Rob Schneider film. Will Arnett here blows the top-dog status he earned in Arrested Development (as demented magician Gob) and Blades Of Glory (as Ferrell and Heder’s ice-skating nemesis), playing the priggish rich boy who gets framed into a stint in chokey by a vengeful ex-con (Dax Shepard). The career criminal then joins Arnett inside and ensures his life is like the worst bits of Oz and Prison Break on a running loop. With a couple of Reno 911!-ers behind the screenplay and comedy hack Bob Odenkirk (the cult TV series Mr Show) at the helm, Prison’s jailbird kingdom should yield plenty of perverse spoofery. Instead it chooses to trip you up with its slow-burn deadpan, which is weird, but not a whole lotta laughs. No extras.Read full review
funny ass film for real.. if you hav nt checked it then do so!.................................................................
this is a dark and funny film, much more subtle than judd apatow comedies like anchorman etc will arnett is great as a rich guy who gets sent to the big house. chi mcbride is a stand-out as one of the prison inmates. the main guy (dax shepherd) is also funny, although seems a strange choice for the role. plus bob odenkirk is a genius. buy it.
I first rented this film from blockbusters on the off chance. What a shocker, by the look of the cover I didn't expect much. How wrong I was, its brilliant.
