Entertainment Reviews:
Life is a surprise that not only avoids typical trappings, but throws in a tinge of the bittersweet as well.

Combustible Celluloid
We have been treated to something we normally would never get in a prison comedy like this: a little delicacy with the humor.

Washington Post
Life desperately wants to let Murphy and Lawrence be actors, but it can't imagine them as anything more than rowdy showmen.
Entertainment Weekly
...The movie is ribald, funny and sometimes sweet, and well acted by Murphy, Lawrence and a strong supporting cast...
Chicago Sun-Times
Life plays more like This Is Your Life for Eddie Murphy, cobbling together elements from his earlier, funnier movies.

...[The stars'] rapport is the very soul of LIFE....It may be Lawrence's [best film]...
Entertainment Weekly
...Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Murphy are an entertaining team...

Product Description:
Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence team up for a prison comedy underlined by serious social commentary. Rayford Gibson (Murphy), an opportunistic con man, and Claude Banks (Lawrence), an ambitious bank teller, are complete opposites who cross paths in 1930s Harlem. In order to pay off their debts to a local crime lord, the mismatched pair travel into the Deep South on a moonshine delivery only to be framed for murder by a racist Southern cop. Sentenced to life in a Mississippi state prison, the bickering duo spend the next 60 years trading barbs and planning their escape, at the same time forming an unlikely but touching friendship.
