Movie propaganda
The funniest buddy comedy since 48 hours, Nothing to lose pairs screen favourites Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence for a hilarious night of mishandled hold-ups, mistaken identities and misguided revenge!
After ad executive Nick Beams (Tim Robbins) catches his gorgeous wife (Kelly Preston) in bed with another man, his life literally takes a turn for the worse: he's carjacked at an intersection by an equally down and out loser (Martin Lawrence)! Together these mismatched misfits with nothing to lose take the high road to crime where they develop an unlikely friendship against the odds and, often, against the speed limit. Laugh out loud hilarious plot twists and acclaimed performances by this perfectly paired on-screen duo make Nothing to lose everything a comedy should be!

Theatrical report
Nothing to watch.
Apparently this film was released in Australia and people actually paid to see it. Sucked in!
The script is a direct rip-off of a whole genre of movies that weren't funny to begin with, where a couple of mismatched (eg African and Anglo American) guys get together for a whole bunch of wacky and zany adventures that only the Americans would ever think worthy of recording on celluloid.
The acting is second rate, the gags are predictable, clichéd and puerile and the plot is weak to the point of non-existence. I tried to watch this video twice. The first time I and my flatmate got 10 minutes in before we made an unspoken decision to watch Hey, hey, it's Saturday! instead. That's how bad it is. The second time, I fast-forwarded the first 10 minutes and watched another 20. To my joy and delight it got even worse, so I doesn't feel bad about not watching the whole thing before reviewing it.
Leave this film on the shelf.
