This hugely funny action-comedy hit stars big-screen favorites Martin Lawrence (BAD BOYS) and Tim Robbins (HIGH FIDELITY). Advertising executive Nick Beam (Robbins) has completely bottomed out. His career is a mess, his marriage is on the rocks ... and a fast-talking would-be carjacker (Lawrence) has just jumped into his car! So what does he do? Nick throws common sense out the window and turns the tables on his captor! Soon this mismatched pair speeds off on a comical crime spree that includes holdups, high-speed chases, and revenge! Set to a hot hit soundtrack, NOTHING TO LOSE is another wild comedy success from the creator of ACE VENTURA and THE NUTTY PROFESSOR!

Summary: Nothing to Lose DVD
Comment: I love seeing Martin Lawrence movies and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I still think its funny after all these years and I had to have it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A sleeper of a funny movie
Comment: We saw this movie as a double-feature when it premiered -- I don't remember the movie we'd gone to see, but I remembered this one. Aside from Martin Lawrence's unnecessary profanity streak (that lost a star for the movie for me), this movie is a sure thing for some side-splitting laughter, even if one has seen it more than once. The real fun comes from the understated bits of the fight in the diner parking lot, "you must be really fast," and my all-time funniest scene from all movies, the spider-on-your-head fire dance to the Scat Man. Genious!

Comment: Another one of our favorites! Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins are great together. It's one laugh after another!
A good movie to watch after a hard day at work!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Winging it simply doesn't make a good movie
Comment: Steve Oedekirk's tepid Nothing to Lose is a lame comedy with Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence as an odd-couple buddy pairing who team up to steal $600, 000. Robbin's comes home early to find his wife in bed with his boss and runs away to the desert, taking car-jacker Lawrence with him, to think things over.
The dialogue is hackneyed and stilted, the plot is horribly contrived and Lawrence seems to have been given freedom to improvise, which is is clearly not good at. He resorts mainly to doing his xenophobic 'Oooh white folks' thing while Robbins lumbers around like an idiot.
None of the jokes work, the humor is far from clever and the set-ups are obvious. The bland photography and silly score are so incredibly 90s that the film, merely ten years old, looks heavily dated.
There are better things that you could be doing with your time.

Summary: Robbins!!!
Comment: Tim Robbins was absolutely brilliant in this movie!! It makes you forget he was even in the Shawshank Redemption. I love the scene when he gets shot and starts yelling profanity! Hilarious. Lawrence was great too. Robbins should give the robber his wallet hahahaha.
