The Prison Comedy of the Decade?

When a career criminal's plan for revenge is thwarted by unlikely circumstances, he puts his intended victim's son in his place by putting him in prison... and then joining him.

I remember when this film came out (2006) and it looked mildly funny but seems to have fell off the radar. Now (2016) I finally gave it a shot. It's not hilarious, but has its moments and definitely is one of a kind. Other than "Half Baked", I can't think of another prison comedy that compares.

What really makes this interesting is how big Will Arnett has become. At the time, I'm sure he was known for "Arrested Development", but he has really blown up with "Lego Batman", "Bojack Horseman", "Flaked" and more... seeing him in this role is a treat.

two top comic actors

Absolutely, positively not my thing. I hate dumb, lowest common denominator comedies. But how does one not watch two of my favorite actors, Bob Odenkirk and Will Arnett?

An ex-con, Lyshitski (Dax Shepherd) wants to take revenge on the Judge who continually put him away, and is disappointed to find out he's dead. So he decides to make sure the Judge's son Biederman (Arnett) goes to prison and that he bunks with him. He's so well-known at the prison he knows who he can bribe to get just the cell he wants. He then unleashes a reign of terror on Biederman, with surprising consequences.

Some of this was absolutely hysterical, some of it was gross, but the cast is so talented - Shephard, Arnett, Chi McBride, Odenkirk in another lousy lawyer role - some very funny people.

The second-grader pen pal reading aloud Biederman's letter to his class was priceless.

One thing - the color on the print I watched was very strange - everyone looked as if they had very deep blue or green eyes.

As I said, not my thing - but I did laugh.

Behind bars

Perhaps one of the best reasons for not committing a crime that will send the perpetrator to jail is to consider what life behind bars is really like. That is what a spoiled man, Nelson Biederman IV, doesn't take into consideration when he defies the law just because he thinks he is above it! Little does he know John Lishitski wants revenge for all Nelson and his kind has done to him.

When Nelson Biederman IV lands in prison, Lishitski manages to become his cell mate to make things worse for this spoiled brat who thinks only about himself. The indignities that go on in places such as the one these men are confined will prove the downfall for even stronger men. Biederman is in the end a stronger man from his own experience among the hard criminals.

Bob Oldenkirk directed this satire about life in prison. Will Arnett and Dax Shepard are Biederman and Lishitski respectively. Both do good work for the director. Chi McBride is seen as Barry, the con with a soft heart despite his menacing exterior. Dylan Baker is also in the cast as the warden.
