Movie #249 "Nothing to Lose" has lots of funny moments that I found myself laughing out loud. I have never seen a Martin Lawrence film all the way through, and though he's no Eddie Murphy, he's pretty funny when he "cops" an attitude, and working off of the very skilled straight man (who is funny himself) Tim Robbins, they make a good pair, which propels this film to the end (which I guessed, but liked anyway). It's a comedy with heart and some very funny moments and a most capable cast --- put that together with an amazing bunch of songs in the background, and I'd recommend it. Very amusing!
Average rating: 3.648
I'd give it 3.8 stars
Nothing to Lose
(1997) R
Nick Beame (Tim Robbins), an advertising executive, thinks he's having a bad day when he discovers his wife Ann (Kelly Preston) in bed with his boss (Michael McKean). But Nick's day goes from bad to worse when he drives around aimlessly and soon finds himself in a poor neighborhood, staring at the barrel of a gun. Carjacker T. Paul (Martin Lawrence) gets taken on the ride of his life in this odd-couple buddy flick.
