... but WHY do I feel guilty? Maybe it is because such terrible things go on behind bars - rape, gangs that dish out death based on race, bad food, corrupt guards, etc. and all of that is treated comically in this film. BUT, really nothing that you would expect given the set up of the film actually happens to the degree that it could, and in the end it turns out to have some very clever twists. It is just not all stupidity and it is very non-violent considering what could happen.The setup is that a career non-violent criminal, John Lyshitski (Dax Shepard) is constantly getting caught and sent to prison by Judge Nelson Biedermann. But Lyshitski blames all of his incarcerations on the judge, not on his own bad choices, and he spends so much time in prison he knows everybody by name. So John decides to carry out a plan of revenge on the judge, except the judge dies right before he gets out of jail. So John changes his plan to avenge himself on the dead judge's son, Nelson Biedermann IV, by tampering with his inhaler and making him temporarily high. In this state Ned trashes a store and attacks the store owners, all caught on the store security camera. Did I mention that Ned IV is an insufferable preppy jerk? So Ned demands that the Biedermann foundation help get him out, BUT the foundation decides they would like to be rid of this stupid jerk and defend him themselves and throw the case. Ned goes to prison for 3-5 years.Meanwhile, John is not feeling the glee he thought he would at Ned going to prison. After all, he figures, he won't be there to see Ned get what is certainly going to be coming to a soft preppy rich kid with no street smarts. So this time, John gets caught on purpose, gets sent to prison for 3-5 just like Ned, and manages his prison connections so he is Ned's cellmate. At first things go like you think they would, but then a twist of fate for both Ned and John change things in a way that was inconceivable to John when he started this whole thing. From there you will have to watch yourself and find out what happens. If you have a distaste for violence, don't worry, this is not Shawshank Redemption on any possible level.Oh, and kudos to Chi McBride who becomes the unlikely means for Ned to give the foundation that dumped him their comeuppance. This film is probably a 6.5 as a comedy, but I rounded it up to 7 for originality, especially during the last half.

This film had an awful intro song, which is the wort first impression a movie can have.The plot line is one of the dummest and unconvincing story lines I've seen.Despite that, it had some funny moments.The production value was very low, the punching sound effects were unrealistic.The only good thing of the movie was the plot twist in the end, I didn't expect one at all.The movie really didn't go anywhere from there. It seemed as if the whole movie was made as long as possible just for the plot twist. And the reveal isn't very exiting either.Overall, it's meh.5/10

After a recent story of bad film watching, I was not expecting much of this. However, I was happily surprised by an easy going comedy. The acting is superb and the poker faces of the actors fit perfectly in the dark humour that permeates the whole film. There is a tiny ration of heart here but, really, just tiny. 99% of the movie keeps away from that trend, which makes it quite compact and, well, funnier. No need to be cheesy for that. Not all the fun here is apt for all audiences but it will do just fine for the average teenager-adult, particularly men, I suspect. There's not much of that scatological humour that can be found in the Scary Movie saga, which is refreshing. Overall, I enjoyed myself with this and finished it with a nice feeling.

Why all the negative reviews?? Hard to believe soo many of you have bashed this movie. I understand that not all people like this style of a movie. Kinda like Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox story. I loved both. Being a person who enjoys the bluntness of people like George Carlin I must say this movie is in your face funny! If you expect to see some teenage dukes of Hazzard style film then don't bother. This movie is for people who like adult style laugh your butt off fun. I watch South Park religiously and this is the one movie that makes me laugh the same.Don't miss all the one liners!! "Trust me - Do what I do - Keep your mouth shut and try not to cry"!
