Nothing To Lose (DVD) ... released 15 June, 2006 at Touchstone Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / With a story that's too flimsy to support its running time, this road-mo vie 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' 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 of Nothing To Lose 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, Amazon.com

The buddy movie genre is well established; we?ve had the loner cop paired with the rookie, the lazy cop with the anal retentive, we?ve even had the cop partnered with a dog. This comedy starring Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence is a buddy movie with a difference. Tim Robbins plays a man for whom life seems to be going well. He has a successful job and a beautiful wife until one day he comes home from work early to find his wife in bed with his boss. He leaves the house and drives off, preoccupied with his thoughts. While stopped at a junction, crook, Martin Lawrence, jumps into Robbins? car and attempts to rob him. However, he has chosen the wrong ...  Read the complete review
