A funny movie. A guy having a bad
winning and losing, at the same time
OK, so most of Martin Lawrence's movies are pretty worthless. But "Nothing to Lose" is pretty funny. Tim Robbins plays a yuppie who gets fed up with his life and drives into the ghetto. There, he meets up with a hoodlum (Martin Lawrence), and the two proceed to form their own plans...at any cost.
I will admit that this movie has practically no artistic value, just a bunch of silly situations. But it's impossible not to like, as both men have to try and respect each other. And anyway, it's just funny when a rich white guy and black ghetto guy have to team up. Worth seeing, if only once.
I wonder if anyone really does own a statue like that.
