LIFE (1999)

Cast

Plot

This prison-buddy-comedy-drama pairs Eddie Murphy with Martin Lawrence, and you need to be fans, 'cos you're about to spend the next 60-odd years with them! When motormouth con-man Murphy accidentally teams up with mild-mannered Lawrence for a bootlegging mission to the deep South, the duo find themselves framed for murder and facing a life sentence in the Mississippi State Prison. Which, of course, gives them ample opportunity to bicker, play baseball, mischief-make and generally work their way through every slammer scenario in the book. Like I said, you need to be a fan.
