Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence star in this stupid comedy about a stressed-out white executive who takes a black carjacker hostage and forces him to go along on a road trip to nowhere. The duo, of course, forge a bond but find their journey interrupted by a tarantula, a pair of stickup men, a lip-synching security guard, and loads of dull sight gags. The film looks like it's supposed to suggest increasing depth for writer-director Steve Oedekerk (writer for The Nutty Professor), but he seems content with merely purloining the outline of a classic story (a white man and a black man, worlds apart, go on the run together) and filling it in with complete fluff. With Kelly Preston. The DVD release includes optional widescreen and standard formats, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, and original theatrical trailers. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nothing to Lose DVD
I love seeing Martin Lawrence movies and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I still think its funny after all these years and I had to have it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A sleeper of a funny movie
We saw this movie as a double-feature when it premiered -- I don't remember the movie we'd gone to see, but I remembered this one. Aside from Martin Lawrence's unnecessary profanity streak (that lost a star for the movie for me), this movie is a sure thing for some side-splitting laughter, even if one has seen it more than once. The real fun comes from the understated bits of the fight in the diner parking lot, "you must be really fast," and my all-time funniest scene from all movies, the spider-on-your-head fire dance to the Scat Man. Genious!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very funny, a great comedy!
Another one of our favorites! Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins are great together. It's one laugh after another!

A good movie to watch after a hard day at work!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Winging it simply doesn't make a good movie
Steve Oedekirk's tepid Nothing to Lose is a lame comedy with Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence as an odd-couple buddy pairing who team up to steal $600, 000. Robbin's comes home early to find his wife in bed with his boss and runs away to the desert, taking car-jacker Lawrence with him, to think things over.

The dialogue is hackneyed and stilted, the plot is horribly contrived and Lawrence seems to have been given freedom to improvise, which is is clearly not good at. He resorts mainly to doing his xenophobic 'Oooh white folks' thing while Robbins lumbers around like an idiot.

None of the jokes work, the humor is far from clever and the set-ups are obvious. The bland photography and silly score are so incredibly 90s that the film, merely ten years old, looks heavily dated.

There are better things that you could be doing with your time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Robbins!!!
Tim Robbins was absolutely brilliant in this movie!! It makes you forget he was even in the Shawshank Redemption. I love the scene when he gets shot and starts yelling profanity! Hilarious. Lawrence was great too. Robbins should give the robber his wallet hahahaha.
