Pretty Funny

Life was on TV and we decided to watch it as it looked pretty funny. It starts in the 1930s (very cool style back then I must say) Eddie Murphy plays a thief who ends up getting Martin Lawrence into trouble with a mobster. They have to go on a pick up job to get some moonshine. However, they get framed for murder by a racist cop and end up going to jail for - yes well done! - life. They attempt to escape many times but with no luck and end up growing very old in jail. How unfair! Will they get out alive? You'll have to watch to find out! The make-up used to make the two guys look old was very good, Oscar nominated good in fact, usually it's all talcum powder and and some drawn on wrinkles. It was quite a funny movie but not hilarious. The was a great Spartacus take-off involving an inquiry into who was the father of a baby.
