May 28, 2011Welcome to the slammer
Purely a comedy that isn't very funny but entertains at least with some wild crappy things that only in jail could happen. This is just a movie to watch to joke around with your friends while you watch it, it's not meant to take seriously at all.

May 24, 2011Let's go to prison is a borderline average comedy. I did enjoy the film somewhat, but the humour is hit and miss. This could have been a terrific comedy, but it manages to only provide a few humorous quips here and there, but never manages to give you laugh out loud moments. But ... read more

June 29, 2008"... quilty. - You mean guilty?"
Watch two annoying men, whom you've got no interest of, hang out in prison and swindle (that's a cool word) their way out of prison.
I'll admit, there's some funny scenes but they're more of a reminder of something funny I've seen earlier in oth... read more -
May 26, 2008This movie is halarious. The plot was very creative, the actors all did great jobs, and its unpredictable. It's everything anyone who enjoys a good comedy would want in a movie.
Besides maybe those who has really been to Prison.. heh.. -
August 18, 2007Completely ridiculous and silly, but also very funny. Will Arnett plays the perfect millionaire cheesedick asshole, Dax Shepard is actually funny and Chi McBride steals the show. And to top it off it's written by Reno 911 cast members and directed by Bob from Mr. Show. You won't ... read more

December 21, 2006I was expecting so much with this movie. After seeing Will Arnett's talent on the bitingly original and terribly overlooked television show Arrested Development; I thought this movie (who's theme SEEMED similar to AD's) would be much better than it turned out to be. Now, in no wa... read more

November 25, 2006We should be cellmates. I don't snore, and I'm a quiet masturbator. Hell, I'll even give you the top bunk.
This could have been a much better movie. There were a lot of good chances to have this turn into a social commentary about the prison system. It also could have made a go... read more -
August 15, 2011Pretty funny, but that doesn't make up for the rest of the films flaws, which there are plenty of. It's like the retarded cousin of "Shawshank".

Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly
It's hard to get laughs out of stuff that devolved into parody 10 or 20 years ago. Full Review

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Arnett underplays to the point where he seems as shellshocked as his character, while Shepard seems to have forgotten that the film is supposed to be a comedy.
November 20, 2006
Michael Ordoņa, Los Angeles Times
Because the movie can't bring itself to take that leap into full-on absurdity, the characters and comic opportunities stay confined to their cells. Full Review

Dennis Harvey, Variety
Let's Go to Prison feels like an overextended sketch-comedy idea insufficiently filled out by subsidiary characters (few significantly figure) or standout setpieces. Full Review
November 20, 2006
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
The movie's too dryly detached to even enjoy its own tastelessness: jokes constantly fall with the dull clatter of cutlery on the mess-hall floor, and the relentless abuse meted out to the hapless Bie... Full Review

David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer
This really isn't a comedy. It's more of a woolly spoof, stretched out to criminal lengths.
November 20, 2006
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Let's Go to Prison is a sly, very funny comedy that stays admirably deadpan every time you think its about to veer into gross-out territory.
November 20, 2006
Kyle Smith, New York Post
The writers of this movie should be sentenced to a comedy chain gang peeling bananas and making cream pies.
November 20, 2006
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Arnett has seven movies coming out within the next year. It seems safe, or at least optimistic, to assume that this is not going to be his high point. But he does make a consistently amusing Felix to ... Full Review
