External critics' reviews

The New York Times Neil Genzlinger
It takes a while to realize that this is actually a sly, very funny comedy, one that stays admirably deadpan every time you think it's about to veer into gross-out territory. more
Village Voice Luke Y. Thompson
Much funnier and weirder than you think. more
Variety Dennis Harvey
Unlike the vast majority of rude bigscreen comedies these days, "Prison" may actually improve with repeat viewings, since its best aspects are offhand enough to be missed the first time around. more
New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Odenkirk is an expert at the unexpected laugh. (This must be the first prison movie in which a cafeteria put-down involves the painter Lucian Freud.) more
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The sad thing is that Arnett, Shepard and McBride quickly establish a loose, easy camaraderie that's a real pleasure to watch. The shame is that they're working with such unrewarding material. more
The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Let's Go to Prison ultimately feels as long as a stint in the big house. more
Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
I'm a fan of director Bob Odenkirk, but my high hopes for this comedy were dashed by screenwriters Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Michael Patrick Jann, all alumi of "Reno 911"! more
Entertainment Weekly Gregory Kirshling
Nearly laughless. more
The A.V. Club Aaron Burgess
Prison makes its 84-minute running time feel like a five-year sentence with no chance for parole. more
New York Post Kyle Smith
A comedy that locks up Will Arnett's talent and throws away the key. more
