Description
This hugely funny action-comedy hit stars big-screen favorites Martin Lawrence (BAD BOYS) and Tim Robbins (HIGH FIDELITY). Advertising executive Nick Beam (Robbins) has completely bottomed out. His career is a mess, his marriage is on the rocks ... and a fast-talking would-be carjacker (Lawrence) has just jumped into his car! So what does he do? Nick throws common sense out the window and turns the tables on his captor! Soon this mismatched pair speeds off on a comical crime spree that includes holdups, high-speed chases, and revenge! Set to a hot hit soundtrack, NOTHING TO LOSE is another wild comedy success from the creator of ACE VENTURA and THE NUTTY PROFESSOR! |

With a story that's too flimsy to support its running time, this road-movie comedy has plenty of problems, but at its best it's a surprisingly inspired vehicle for the clever teaming of Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence. Robbins plays an addled advertising executive who comes home early one day and discovers his wife in bed with his boss. To make matters worse, he's later carjacked by a struggling, unemployed family-man-turned-petty-thief (Lawrence), and that's when he loses his cool completely. He takes the carjacker hostage and recruits him on a road-trip scheme of revenge against his wife and boss. Plotting to break into his boss's high-security vault, Robbins gets a criminal assist from Lawrence, but they're also on the run from another pair of would-be thieves who trail them to the vault's location. The routine plot is occasionally limp and sluggish, but writer-director Steve Oedekerk (who makes a wacky cameo appearance as a security guard) mines comedy gold during several scenes that detour from the plot for the sake of sheer lunacy. Robbins and Lawrence have great comedic chemistry (if you can tolerate Lawrence's constant profanity), and although the movie ends on a false note with some unlikely turns of fate, it's definitely good for more than a few solid laughs. --Jeff Shannon |

Another Childhood Favorite!!! by Pumpkin Man  5 Stars
June 14, 2009
Ever since I saw this at the theatre when I was 7 years old, this has been one of my favorite movies! Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence were awesome together! Robbins plays an advertising executive named Nick Beam who has a pretty good life and an awesome wife. One day when he comes home, he thinks he sees his wife and his boss having sex. After going into deep depression, he is almost mugged by a man named T. Paul. Nick turns the tables and kidnaps the robber. They soon become friends and come up with a plan to rob Nicks boss. They soon must deal with a pair of bad guys who also want the money. I highly recommend NOTHING TO LOSE!!!

Comedy by B. Edwards 5 Stars

Funny, and great moral to the story. How one person's life and it's complications can effect another's. How they came together for a common cause and the risks that came along with it.

The best martin lawrence film by Tyler (Rockland, MA) 5 Stars
March 11, 2009
An absolutely perfect pairing. Yes, you will find the typical Martin Lawrence white people vs. black people jokes in this one (but it works very nicely). The reason why it works is because the much accomplished Tim Robbins is there to balance off Martin Lawrence. Their dialogue in this movie is hilarious and Martin Lawrence's facial expressions and body movements alone are reason enough to watch it. I have watched this film over twenty times and at the same parts I still laugh. That is the sign of a true comedic success. It is comparable to Dumb and Dumber when it comes to replay value (although it lacks the creativity of Dumb and Dumber).
To sum it up, if you like comedy or if you like Martin Lawrence or Tim Robbins, or if you just want a good laugh, this is the movie for you!

A decent movie, if you don't get your expectations too high by Joe Francis (Pennsylvania, US) 4 Stars
March 04, 2009
It is a decent movie and has its comical moments. Although not what I'd consider hilarious I bought this one from amazon.com for my girlfriend that absolutely loved this movie and was worth it just to see her crack up each time at what she calls the "spider-dance" scene. On a side note, it is now available at the Walmart "bins" for about half the price.
