Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy play it surprisingly straight in this film by director Ted Demme. Though there are laughs to be had, this is a story about perseverance in the face of a life of disappointment (yet the film was sold as a prison comedy). But Stir Crazy this isn't. Rather, Lawrence and Murphy play a couple of New Yorkers making a moonshine run from New York to Mississippi during the Prohibition who find themselves framed for murder and sentenced for life to a prison chain gang. As they age, the two become close friends, although the strait-laced Lawrence always resents the free-wheeling Murphy for getting him into the situation in the first place. Ultimately, these two men learn to find meaning where they can, taking value from friendship and their limited ability to affect the lives of others. At times preachy, it ends on an upbeat note; the film's biggest laughs are reserved for the final section, in which Lawrence and Murphy don age makeup and play octogenarians. --Marshall Fine

Great Movie, I didn't give it a 5 stars because it reminded me the injustice of the South at the time. Overall a fun movie to watch not the best.

Sometimes it runs like a bad comedy, sometimes like an awful depressing drama. AVOID IT !

I loved this movie . The characters are great and to see people age during incarceration was quite a journey.
Lots of hidden metaphors about making bad judgements , the company one keeps and the horror of entrapment .
Makes one want to live their life on the outside joyfully.
A fan
