Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Shepard's character periodically rattles off damning statistics about America's booming prison industry, but most of the gags are of the don't-drop-the-soap variety.

rotten:
Prison makes its 84-minute running time feel like a five-year sentence with no chance for parole.

rotten:
It's hard to get laughs out of stuff that devolved into parody 10 or 20 years ago.

rotten:
Arnett underplays to the point where he seems as shellshocked as his character, while Shepard seems to have forgotten that the film is supposed to be a comedy.

rotten:
Because the movie can't bring itself to take that leap into full-on absurdity, the characters and comic opportunities stay confined to their cells.
