Life

 

USA 1999, 109 minutes
Dir. Ted Demme
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy / Prison

Topics: African-American.

 

Aroview: Something of a surprise for an Eddie Murphy comedy, this 50-year saga of two black cell-buddies ambitiously lifts its feel from LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, placing a backdrop of racism behind its odd, sentimental mood.

Martin Lawrence and a hyper-mouthed Murphy play two bootleggers jailed in the 1930s who try to survive on the sidelines as a lifetime's worth of African-American experience passes them by.
