1st watched 5/11/2003 - 3 out of 10(Dir-Jean Claude Lemarre): Lame comedy with hopeful beginning but drowns in the end. This story about a couple of friends who win a lottery ticket, get it stolen by someone who's going directly to woman's prison, and their attempt to get into the jail as women to get it back has it's moments. The problem is not the acting and interaction between the main characters. They actually do a good job with their parts and are funny at times, but the movie goes awry once they get into the jail and the supporting cast is pretty bad to say the least. The movie is being sold because it has a bunch of well-known musicians in it but there isn't any music!! This has to clue you in right away that there's something wrong with the movie itself. The last hour is extremely boring without any laughs which kind of closed the door for any kind of recommendation from me. I did make it through to the end though, but just barely. I wouldn't mind seeing Pras and Michael J. Goorjian together in a better movie. Maybe next year.
