Critic Reviews

Gracefully bittersweet and balanced. [16 April 1999, Calendar, p.F-1]Full Review

John Anderson
Los Angeles Times

We have been treated to something we normally would never get in a prison comedy like this: a little delicacy with the humor.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

The movie is ribald, funny and sometimes sweet, and well acted by Murphy, Lawrence and a strong supporting cast.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that not only is Life funny (and at times downright hilarious), but it also offers a light portion of sweetened social commentary and a sometime-affecting buddy element.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

Careens from decade to decade, and from relative dramatic realism to frequent hilarity, in often-winning fashion.Full Review
