Since it's Martin Lawrence's birthday, we can take a look back one of his movies as it turns 25 and he turns 59. I don't think there is much to say about this movie except for Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy at least having chemistry together (previously working together in Boomerang). There is also the Rick Baker makeup that is used to age their characters. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Life (1999) - 2.5 out of 4 stars"A slick Harlem pickpocket and a none-too-bright patsy meet up in the early 1930s and are railroaded into a Mississippi prison, where they spend the next 55 years. Broad comedy is juxtaposed against unexpectedly poignant and serious moments in this episodic film; not always on target, but entertaining just the same. Murphy and Lawrence are very funny, and age believably in Rick Baker's makeup."
