In this odd yet entertaining jail sitcom, Bob Odenkirk injects a peculiar comic style, which may or may not be to the public's liking for humor, but it certainly has some strange after-effects.

I love this movie. I watched it 2 times. Mostly its comedy, with some really good jokes. I dont know how can be these reviews so bad on this perfect film.

It contains laughing moments although the whole it seemed to me more serious than other absurds comedies of the style. Will Arnett is the star od the play although Chi McBride seemed OK to me. David Koechner always good but here not much of a role.

Top notch comedy in my opinion. The prison setting is surprisingly fun (perhaps too fun considering it is prison) and Dax Shepard's character is an absolute blast. The way he interacts with Arnett, who is also excellent here, is shear fun. McBride also serves as a very funny and surprisingly likable character. I also like how the film never goes into some of the gross territory it could have. It's something I find very respectable There is one or two light issues I have with the plot, but overall I had a blast watching this. So if you're looking for a funny comedy and missed this one through the years, then I recommend you give it a shot. It's very funny and a lot of fun.

While the film does feature a lot of generic jokes about prison. The cast carries this film well beyond how good it should have been and they make it an enjoyable comedy worth watching.

There was more to this movie than the superficial and sometimes hard-to-harness humor associated with prison life. The ONLY thing that could even be REMOTELY funny about being incarcerated is the realm of sexual humor. But this movie had something more going for it than its humor. It also has a message, one that can be applied to just about any situation. For anyone that has ever doubted whether they can rise to the occasion, this movie is a representation of the fact that, given dire circumstances and the need to survive, people can surprise themselves with what they are capable of. A comedy with a message...that isn't an easy task to accomplish.
