Nothing to Lose (1997)

Nothing to lose is about having lost everything (or at least believing so) and there is no lower spot you cannot hit. Geting there however you really that when you hit the botom there is nowhere to go but up!!!

Good story and cast, excellent playing by them all, funny and hillarious from start to finish this is a must for comedy lovers.

Fmovies: This movie was excellent and funny as hell...

Seriously see this movie, i bought this one at a used DVD shop thinking it may be worth a watch. and I was pleasantly surprised by how funny this movie was.

Basically: Awesome acting especially by Lawrence, Robbins and McGinley. Awesome script, Steve Oedekerk had to be high or something. It's so delightfully random but the again standard comedy that we can all enjoy.

The scene with the security guard and his 2 hours of dancing (Just watch the film!)

Pretty sure it's "ONE" of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

I used to think the Eddie Murphy movies with the black man/white man partners were the best. At least until I seen this movie. Whoever casted Tim and Martin together, made an excellent choice. Not only are they completely different in their appearances (tall white guy and a short black dude), financial status, outlook on life, but they learn to gain a common ground. I laughed from beginning to end and have loaned out the movie to all my close friends. The misunderstandings in the flick are hilarious. Talk about robbing the wrong guy at the wrong time. The desert scene with the shoes on fire and the Scatman song playing in the background is one of the funniest moments I've ever seen. (I almost wet myself laughing) It's one of those movies where you don't know what's going to happen next. When a guy's down on his luck and all goes wrong, he really has "Nothing to Lose." When is the Nothing to Lose two coming out?

Nothing to Lose fmovies. This was the best comedy i have seen since blues brothers. The plot is absolutely brilliant. A man has lost the will to live as he finds out he has been living a lie, and this gives him the weapon of having no fear. I loved this movie, it's definitely one of my favourites. It was great to see a rich executive shout "GET DOWN BI***H SUCKER!" and then ask the clerk if he was scary. This movie is phenomenal and i would recommend it to anybody. It has many funny parts, and Martin Lawrence is great as Terrance. Did anybody see him in blue streak? That was a great movie and this one has done even better. It kept me on the edge of my seat during the gun standoffs and had me in fits of laughter in other parts.

Tim Robbins is a fantastic actor. He was wonderful in "Shawshank Redemption", and "Mystic River" and pretty much everything else he's ever done (even "Anchorman"). He was wonderful in this movie, even though it didn't really demand a lot of talent.

A man (Robbins) finds his wife in bed with his boss, and after being almost robbed at gunpoint comes up with the genius idea to steal his boss's fortune. Along with Martin Lawrence, he becomes a criminal mastermind.

Martin Lawrence is a great comedian on film. "Black Knight" and "Blue Streak" are both wonderful and this film is no exception. His show "Martin" was less sophisticated, but luckily he has shied away from that. The writer/director is Steve Oedekirk, originally (I believe) a writer for "In Living Color" after being discovered on "Star Search". He's now best known for "Kung Pow! Enter the Fist" and "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls", and you'll find more of that stupid but clever humor here.

The film's use of music is funny, if poorly conceived. One scene involves an impromptu dance by Robbins to "Scatman" which should be stupid, but proved some chuckles. Odekirk cameos as a security guard who likes to sing and dance, which plays into the plot very well.

Add the very sexy Rebecca Gayheart, Michael McKean and John C. McKInley (who seems to guest star in pretty much everything) and you've got yourself a quirky comedy with a very diverse and talented ensemble cast. This will likely not be your favorite film and you might not even remember it a year from now, but it's certainly worth at least one shot. Because, heck, Tim Robbins can do no wrong.

Oh, and if you like vulgarity, there is a (very funny) scene where the F-word is used nearly fifty times in a two minute span. So, that's fun.

I have seen this film several times now. I cannot stop laughing at everything I laughed at the first time that I saw it at the theatre. I had no idea what to expect at that viewing, other than the fact that I enjoyed Tim Robbins' work in the past and thought that Martin Lawrence was very funny. This did not prepare me for the life-changing event it was.

I once showed this movie to a then-girlfriend who was no fan of the comedy genre, and thus it was a big risk to even attempt viewing an unknown comedy to begin with. But sure enough, she turned to me when it was over and declared it to be one of the most intelligent yet gut-level funny films she had ever seen.

And without a doubt, she had summed it up best right there.
