  • Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)
    Life desperately wants to let Murphy and Lawrence be actors, but it can't imagine them as anything more than rowdy showmen.

  • Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)
    We have been treated to something we normally would never get in a prison comedy like this: a little delicacy with the humor.

    Ribald, funny and sometimes sweet, and well acted by Murphy, Lawrence and a strong supporting cast.

  • Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)
    Funny, sad, conventional, unpredictable -- just like the real thing!

    Lawrence's best movie and one of Murphy's best!

  • Todd McCarthy Variety (Top Critic)
    Lively, packed with colorful characters and spiked with outbursts of outrageous banter!

  • Rod Dreher New York Post (Top Critic)
    This prison dramedy's muddled, episodic script seems to have gone on a hunger strike for humor!

    Life plays more like This Is Your Life for Eddie Murphy, cobbling together elements from his earlier, funnier movies.

    Life is a surprise that not only avoids typical trappings, but throws in a tinge of the bittersweet as well.

    Mostly lifeless because deep down, it's really about other movies.
