Summary:

Dax Shepard (IDIOCRACY) stars in this prison comedy as John Lyshitski, a lifelong petty criminal who is all too familiar with the criminal justice system. For Lyshitski, prison is a second home where he knows all the rules and runs the show. After being released from his most recent jail stay, Lyshitski decides it’s time to avenge the man responsible for it all. But to his horror, Lyshitski learns he’s been freed just moments after the death of his nemesis, Judge Biederman. Needing someone to take out his grudge on, Lyshitski sets his sights on the judge’s son, Nelson Biederman IV (Will Arnett). A well-groomed, high-powered executive who verges on uptight, Biederman looks like he wouldn’t make it through one night in a jail cell. But as the result of Lyshitski’s tricky manoeuvres, Biederman finds himself sentenced to several years in a penitentiary that would intimidate even a seasoned criminal. Proving just how far he’ll go for revenge, Lyshitski also gets himself arrested so that he can make his target’s life a living hell. LET’S GO TO PRISON is what you’d expect from a prison comedy. Beyond the usual rape jokes and fist fights, the film finds humour in jail cell decoration, toilet wine, and unlikely bonds between inmates. Dax Shepard shows off a slightly different side than he has in other films, and Will Arnett (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) turns in a likeable performance. Chi McBride delivers some laughs as Barry, a teddy bear of a man who is after Biederman’s heart. LET’S GO TO PRISON manages to deliver a light hearted look at the usually dismal world of the incarcerated.

In the comedy Let's Go to Prison, revenge proves not so sweet for John Lyshitski (Dax Shepard, Employee of the Month), an incompetent ex-con who manages to get the son of the judge who first convicted him sent to prison. But John finds that unsatisfying, so he gets himself sent back to prison so he can guarantee that Nelson Biederman the IVth (Will Arnett, Arrested Development) gets the works. From there, Let's Go to Prison squeezes as much uneasy humour out of male rape and white supremacists as is possible. The results could be tasteless, but director Bob Odenkirk (of Mr. Show) gives everything his own particular flavour, which his fans will undoubtedly enjoy. Shepard has an amiable charm and Arnett oozes some of his patented smarmy arrogance. The cast also includes Chi McBride (Roll Bounce), David Koechner (Anchorman), and Dylan Baker (Happiness). --Bret Fetzer
