Sometime in the mid-90s I got very tired of the odd couple comedy. The format has been reused time and time again, and very rarely does it work. So it was with some trepidation that I went back and watched this picture It's certainly got some of the clichéd elements typical of such comedies, the script contains enough intelligence to draw interest. Like every buddy comedy, the movie relies about 70% on the chemistry between the two leads.
Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence have a good back-and-forth delivery of dialogue, and are well handled by director Steve Oedekerk. In the end, it has little that makes it worth watching again, but as long as "Nothing to Lose" lasts, it's funny and enjoyable.
