DVD Reviews of Life (dvd)
DVD Review: Life is funny, Life is great....
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is perhaps Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's Sistine Chapel. That is a bold statement but this movie is so funny and such a good, well made movie. There are endless funny moments in this movie. I might be being biased because I love timeline movies a lot (ex. FORREST GUMP). This movie will also make you cry from sadness and laughter. I laughed out loud many times and (ALMOST) cried from emotion.
The movie has an all-star cast as well which can sometimes be disastrous (ex.NOTHING BUT TROUBLE). It hits every angle possible and could not have been done any better for what it was. And that is one great, funny movie that is one of my all-time favorites.
DVD Review: Very funny movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest movies I have seen. Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are a funny team. DVD Review: very pleased indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered "Life" for my mom, when I told her she can get great deals on Amazon, she didn't believe me. Until we received the DVD. It came sealed and it looked brand new. Keep up the great work. We will only use Amazon FOREVER!! Thank you. DVD Review: The movie was brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe the poor reviews of this classic movie. Even the 4 and 5 stars are saying it was just OK. Just because Eddie wasn't "Buckwheat" & Martin wasn't "Shanaenae" doesn't mean the movie has to be put down. This was a very good, intelligent & well done film. It shows the acting skills of Lawrence in a big way. He plays the "straight" man very well. It had a lot of history in it as well, if one paid attention, that is. You just can't please everyone. I'm not going on too long, because one would have to have a logical brain & appreciation for good comedy/drama. Apparently, I'm alone around here. And, for people to say the only good thing in it was Rick James? I hope you folks are 13 and 14 years old, and heard about James through parents, or something. Otherwise, I'm worried about you. I mean, watch the damn movie. Pay attention to the story and what is being told.DVD Review: LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD,ON A BAD DAY AT WORK COME HOME AND WATCH THE MOVIE LIFE AND SEE IF IT WON'T CHEER YOU UP.
Description of Life (dvd)
In 1930's Harlem two men are framed for murder, what ensues is a comical look at their lives together in prison over the next sixty years.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 6-JAN-2004
Media Type: DVD
Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy play it surprisingly straight in this film by director Ted Demme. Though there are laughs to be had, this is a story about perseverance in the face of a life of disappointment (yet the film was sold as a prison comedy). But Stir Crazy this isn't. Rather, Lawrence and Murphy play a couple of New Yorkers making a moonshine run from New York to Mississippi during the Prohibition who find themselves framed for murder and sentenced for life to a prison chain gang. As they age, the two become close friends, although the strait-laced Lawrence always resents the free-wheeling Murphy for getting him into the situation in the first place. Ultimately, these two men learn to find meaning where they can, taking value from friendship and their limited ability to affect the lives of others. At times preachy, it ends on an upbeat note; the film's biggest laughs are reserved for the final section, in which Lawrence and Murphy don age makeup and play octogenarians. --Marshall Fine
