Let's Go to Prison (2006)

Dark comedy with likeable actors playing unlikeable characters

[7/10 · 17 September 2023]

I discovered this movie after listening to Bob Odenkirk talking about it on a Smartless podcast. I never heard of the movie so I went into it with low expectations, but it actually wasn't that bad. I laughed out loud a few times, and was rather sympathetic to Will Arnett's character in his first prison experiences even though his character was a rich a**hole. I was hoping he and Dax's character would have developed more of a bromance, but oh well. I agree with Odenkirk that this movie had potential and I could see it being much bigger than it was. This was a fun one for Arnett and/or Dax fans. The ending credits are pretty funny.
