Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy star in Life

<body> <p>The only problem Cranky has with <i>Life</i> is found in its advertising campaign. You may walk in expecting a bust ass funny prison based romp – let's be honest, <b>Eddie Murphy</b> and <a href="../../celebs/martin-lawrence/index.html" target="_top"><b>Martin Lawrence</b></a> have shown that they can find the comedy in most any situation – but instead you get a bittersweet tale of wrongly convicted lifers in a Mississippi prison farm. Walk in expecting The Nutty Professor, and you'll be disappointed (there's only one fart joke, and it doesn't emanate from either of the stars). Think drama with comedy, a la 48 Hours, and you'll be closer to the mark. Which is exactly the way director <b>Ted Demme</b> wanted it.</p></body>
