It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Would love to see any of the critics who panned this film do better with a budget of $4 million. Hilarious script, fantastic acting and strong direction. One of the funniest comedies you haven't seen. This is in fact the funniest prison comedy since "I Love You Phillip Morris". Funnier than Stallone's "Lock Up", although I'm not sure that one was supposed to be a comedy.

I chose to watch this movie because of three different factors. First, Will Arnett is in it. Second, it's directed by Bob Odenkirk, while I know practically nothing about his directing, his name still made me interested. But the third and final reason that made me watch Let's Go To Prison was that it seemed extremely stupid. It's always refreshing to watch stupid comedies.But was this comedy stupid? To be honest, it could've been stupider. The plot was actually pretty sly. The writing amazed me, not because it was that brilliant, but mostly because I was expecting something so much worse. It actually was pretty fun to listen to the dialogue, and it sometimes was even clever. Also certain plot twists were no easy to predict, and the movie was so much fun. I felt ashamed of how many inappropriate things felt funny in this film.Also this movie has the perfect ending. There's clever twist and then the last setting feels idyllic.The story was told in an interesting way. First-person narrative is always pretty interesting in a movie, especially when the movie is based on a book. You can't use all the narrative used in the novel, so what do you pick? The writers of this movie sure knew how to pick the exact right lines and nothing more, nothing less. Also there were a lot of fun effects used, mostly the cinematography: zooming, angles and such.Let's Go to Prison feels weirdly fresh. The idea feels used, but the movie itself feels different from the typical movies of this genre. It was a lot different from what I expected, a lot funnier and a lot cleverer. I think I actually liked this movie.

This film is based on a book called You're Going To Prison by Jim Hogshire and is a common sense survival guide for life in the big house that has toilet wine recipes and lets you know your chance of getting raped are very good. The film is a little more lighthearted, but still is very funny. There is a lot of truth in this film though and the statistical information is actually quite accurate. Let's Go To Prison centers on our white trash hero John Lyshitsky(Dax Shepard) who has been in and out of prison since he was 8 years old and wants to get even with the judge who put him there. He soon finds an opportunity to do so via his son Nelson Biederman The 4th(Will Arnett). John then takes action to make sure Nelly gets the proper treatment. Our cast here let the good times roll with beatdowns, bad food and Eskimo kisses. While prison time is no laughing matter, Let's Go To Prison is actually a very funny and memorable film. If you enjoyed Bad Santa, you should give this a go as I find the tone and humor in both films are similar.

This movie is hilarious, some people are so hard to please. First of all, Dax Shepard's character is hilariously named Lyshitski. Dax kinda' annoys me, I do think he's funny so I don't understand why that is. It might be because he's dating Kristen Bell and I never understood her appeal. Also, he looks like a ped0 next to her so that might be another reason. But anyway, he's funny in this movie. As for the guy that played, Biederman.....bravo, great performance. He does a great job at playing scared shiteless. Lastly, the warden's speech in the beginning when they first get to prison is so funny I had to rewind it so I could see it again.
