Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

John Brooks Let me say this first as it should be the first thing critiqued for a comedy: the humor here is good. This isn't all typical American family mainstream movie humor, there are some really good moments mostly in situational comedy. Just Oedekeker putting himself in the film alone is a hilarious thought but the useless character and attributed scene are just hilariously pointless, and therefor very meaningful to such a comedy. But that's a detail. It's actually got suspense, is strong structurally, and as most Oedekerk motion pictures (ahem...that don't have THUMB in the title...) this has meaning and is very humane. Globally, it's a great coming together of two radically antagonistic leads and, naturally, the characters they play, while the two villain characters that follow their symmetry is a funny concept - it's well written, funny, with a point and whether as a comedy or as a film with its own tension and developments, it's just a good, strong movie.

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.

slightlymad22 'Nothing to Lose' tries to be a few movies. Buddy Movie, Fish Out of Water Movie, Road Movie, Mistaken Identity Movie and Heist Movie. And in not settling for one it falls short of greatness. But that does not mean it's not fun. The writer-director, Steve Oedekerk, is clearly a fan of movies , as he tries a bit of everything The film stars Tim Robbins as Nick Beam, a corporate executive who comes home one afternoon to find his wife (Kelly Preston) in bed with another man. He believes it to be his boss. In a daze Nick drives off, where he is carjacked by a loud Martin Lawrence.There are good moments. And some big laughs, some supporting actors get some good laughs too. Rebecca Gayheart is lovely to look at, and stands out, while John C. McGinley is worthy of note too, and is reliable as always. Predictably, spoils things a bit, as at the end of "Nothing to Lose'' everything falls nicely into place.
