One of my all-time favorites
By Oliver Ready
Don’t pay attention to the amazon.com reviewer, this movie is one of the best comedies ever! The dynamics between Lawrence and Robbins are great and the plot’s VERY nice and twisty. If you don’t much care for “boyz in da hood” type movies, don’t worry – this isn’t one. It’s just a great comic adventure that’ll make you almost fall out of your chair laughing.

This is one of my favorite comedies. Robbins and Lawrence are a really good team; the “spider-freak-out” dance by Robbins, and the goofy security guard routine by Steve Oedekerk were hilarious.

By Mister Hip-Hop
Martin Lawrence, from the instant classic sit-com Martin, as well as other excellent movies and comedy, teamed with Tim Robbins from Shawshank Redemption. There will definitely be worthy results in this movie. It’s a hilarious comedy featuring Tim Robbins as a executive who catches his wife in bed with his boss, and goes for a drive. Martin is waiting to car-jack Tim Robbins, however, he picked the wrong day to do it and Robbins takes off, bringing Martin with him. They rob a couple stores and eventually Tim Robbins concocts a plan to rob his boss, but while in the process of completing this move, he and Martin are trailed by two other criminals, and get into various encounters with them on their way, each one turns out to be hilarious. Just one of those movies you have to witness for yourself, it’s a shame some people are criticizing Nothing To Lose because of the sound equipment used and just the situation in the movie. It doesn’t matter how many times a black/white uniting movie is made just as long as they add something new and refreshing to it that makes it worth watching. And Nothing To Lose does just that. And criticizing a movie just because there’s a little bit of swearing in it? Preposterous, it would be understandable if the entire movie was filled with bad words but this movie is definitely not one of those. In my opinion, this is a very good movie, but putting two talented actors together you shouldn’t expect anything less. Nothing To Lose is a comedic, interesting and just all-around excellent film. This is coming from someone who doesn’t even like movies that much. So listen to my advice, and try out Nothing To Lose, starring Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins.
