Let's Go to Prison (Rated & Unrated) (DVD)

Welcome to one of the worst, most unfunny movies I have seen in a very long time. Honestly, this is such a pile of garbage I have no idea how it got greenlit. There is not a laugh in it, that is unless you think the idea of toilet wine is funny or perhaps someone getting stabbed in the thighs with forks. Yeah, not laughing are you?

It is a shame “Arrested Development” had to get canceled because it looks like Will Arnett is going to only get silly stupid comedies from now on. You may be saying that is what “Arrested Development” was, to that I say, “You just don’t get it.”

Let’s Go to Prison is an embarrassing movie and everyone involved should be required to serve a mandatory one year suspension from acting for making it. This includes but is not limited to: Arnett, Dax Shepherd, Chi McBride (he really should have known better), David Koechner and director Bob Odenkirk. Odenkirk directed Arnett in the upcoming feature The Brothers Solomon, which unfortunately also includes McBride and IMDb also list Koechner, which if that is true I guess if they want to just punish each other that is fine with me. I will just avoid their collaborative works at all costs.

Just for a quick synopsis, Shepherd plays John Lyshitski (ha, ha, he has the word “shit” in his name). John is a low-life and has been his whole life; he continually gets put in jail by Judge Biederman who puts him down every time. So, now that he is out of jail again he is out for revenge only to find out Judge Biederman is dead so he takes out his anger on his son Nelson (Arnett) by setting him up to go to prison. Once he has him in prison he decides that is not enough and gets himself arrested and blah, blah, blah… You know where it is going from there and there isn’t a laugh to find along the way.

This DVD proclaims to be the “Unrated” version, I didn’t have the nerve or self-loathing to watch the rated one, but I can say there is nothing interesting in the unrated version. The disc also holds a couple of stupid deleted scenes and an unnecessary and not needed look at the making of the soundtrack (why?).

My only advice is to skip this flick at all costs. If you decide to watch it and you think about committing suicide 25 minutes in don’t say I didn’t warn you.
