Fun fact: Rick James (RIP Superfreak and give it to me baby singer) a 1980's megastar, played Spanky. RIP Bernie Mac(Jingle Leg), Clarence Williams III(Winston Hancock), & Michael Taliferro(Goldmouth).Great reaction to a classic MJ!

The singer on stage was Dawn Robinson from the group En Vogue. Also that was Rick James playing Spanky.

For what it's worth, this is a borderline flawless movie and one of my top 5 favorite movies ever. That scene with Biscuit essentially committing suicide is one of the biggest gut punches I've ever felt in cinema. Like nobody in that scene was happy with what had happened. Boss was upset, Hoppin Bob was upset (and was hesitating to pull the trigger), and even the dude who shot Biscuit was upset. This movie has some heavy and depressing social commentary that is given with a figurative "spoonful of sugar" in comedic scenarios by some of the greatest comedians and comedic actors who ever lived. Also, the Superintendent who was going to write up the pardon papers towards the end is different from the one who had the black grandbaby. Keep in mind that by the time they were working in the mansion, about 30 years had passed since Can't-Get-Right got released, so the old Superintendent was probably long passed away by then. I know the stress of his daughter having a fatherless black baby in the 40s/50s probably put his ass in an early grave lol. Great reaction though! Your ability to react and still pay attention to the movie is an underrated skill. A lot of reactors spend so much time talking over the movie and even having sidebar conversations and they end up missing a lot of key scenes that are the reason they get asked to react to certain things in the first place. I was gonna say you earned a subscriber but I realize I'm already subscribed lol.

Martin Lawerence is in it too. A comedic legend. An all-star cast in general. So many good actors and comedians

The cornbread scene is actually a redone scene from a movie with Paul Newman called Cool Hand Luke. The scene is not about cornbread at all.. they play it off for laughs at first but this is about pride and showing you cannot be taken advantage of. Even though he got beaten.. He never gave up. If Martin Lawrence had been allowed to give his cornbread to that other inmate he would have been his bitch the rest of the time in prison

The way this movie makes you just cry then laugh, love this movie so much

Sad he crossed the gun line to get shot. He knew being gay in the 40/50 he would never be accepted and chosed death instead.

When Claude saw the World changes from the 30s to 70s and when he saw his reflection in the car window and slightly touched his face than adjusted his tie was amazing acting from Martin Lawrence, it always got me emotional cause he was about to be a bank teller and marry his girl but him and Ray got accused of murder and it was the end. This movie was Oscar nominated, but only for makeup, and it should have been an Oscar nominated because it knew when to make you and laugh and get you emotional.

That’s What I Said, Great Addition To The Film 🔥👌🏿

This film has always been a classic. A film that brilliantly intertwines an emotional drama with gut busting comedy. I wish Martin and Eddie had done more films. Always I believe this was nominated an award for the make-up

It seems like people didn't come around on this as a classic until years after it was released. I think the fact that they were innocent really put an underlying somber tone over the whole movie that viewers weren't ready for initially. It's actually really sad at points.

Exactly! Around 2009 maybe 2010 is where everyone claim it was a classic cause all this police brutality that’s been going on and speaking for innocent men in jail. This movie wasn’t shown a lot til maybe 2010 on BET and shit

When Martin Lawrence says the name "Ray" at his older age in his bed, it just makes me laugh hard. My own Mom also laughs at that part 🤣

44:18 RIP rapper Heavy D.😢

When the burning building fell down and Willie yelled "RAYMOND!" 😢 At that point they were brothers... over 40 years in there together Also when Claud looked at his reflection in the car window....💔 seeing that life has passed him by and he never had a chance to live in this new world he's seeing for the first time...

40:10 You're not too far off. In the original script, Ray got in the trunk of the car trying to escape. Claude didn't know until he opened it. Claude knocked him out, because he didn't want to get in trouble. This was actually filmed, but it got cut out.

when claude (Martin Lawrence) parked the car and looked around and realized how different everyone looks was when i said "wow" but when he looked in the mirror of the car and realized how old he looked is when i cried. I love this movie. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us.

Yeah, this movie makes you appreciate life more. It definitely hits the soul.

12:00 That’s Lisa Nicole Carson…she had some memorable roles in a few good flicks worth checking: DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS, JASON’S LYRIC, EVE’S BAYOU, LOVE JONES

Boomerang reaction love... Another Martin and Eddie classic

Me and my friend since elementary school still till this day..we’re grown ups now , we always reenact the pie scene when Martin steals it😂😂😂😂

A classic my favorite comedians finally did a movie.

Heavy D is in here too

This is a very memorable movie...so, memorable that I guarantee you that you will be having a conversation with someone and a line from the movie will come up. Also the late rapper: Heavy D is the grave digger and Rick James is Spanky, of Club Spanky.

Tha upper roooooooommmm!!!! I still keep telling my friends to do this if I go before them lol great movie and an awesome reaction MJ, it's meant to cause feelings of anxiety, discontentment, laughter and sadness and you're reaction shifted with every change from the anxiety of them getting life, discontentment of meeting Ray and blaming him for Claude's incarnation to the laughter of random funny events of the movie and the sadness of knowing they did nothing wrong and Ray spending 40 years just wanting his daddies watch back

Check out Martin Lawrence sitcom from the 90s "Martin." So many great characters.

14:24 bruh that part of the movie always cracks me up. Eddie a damn fool 😂

17:24-27:19 Exactly ! When the guards and hounds are looking for Ray and Claude, everyone else could have overpowered the remaining trustees and escaped too.

A classic! Please keep it coming. I love your content ❤

This is my all time favorite movie... And imo possibly the best comedy/drama ever with the best cast ever...

The title of the movie Life has a double meaning in that it talks about their prison sentence 20 to life particularly for a crime they didn't commit by a corrupt crooked young sheriff, but also how life can pass you by if you take it for granted because it's so short, fragile and unpredictable. But life's moral to the story shows you're never too old or too late to live your life to its fullest extent, especially with your 'friends' those you truly care about.

Sooo good, one of my alltime movies here.

23:20 They actually do allow conjugal visits in certain prisons if you are married till this day.

Thank you for being truthful about not seeing the movie

This woman is WORKIN!!!! I almost can't keep up..lol

You gotta do Black Knight if you haven’t seen it! Another great Martin Lawrence comedy.

Yo I've seen this movie a thousand times and I've never noticed the toe peeking through he sock 🧦 😂😂😂😂😂muxh love ❤️

🤔For those of you who don't know, the character Spanky was played by the legendary artist Rick James...

39:36 - The old age makeup was done by the legendary Rick Baker. Rick had done Eddie's makeup in "Coming to America" and "The Nutty Professor" and is one of the makeup industry's great geniuses. Amazing work in this film! To see some earlier Eddie Murphy, you MUST watch "Trading Places" (1983) and then watch "Coming to America" (1988). Make sure to watch them in that order! You'll enjoy them both!

Another one for the book i laughed and cried too. Your reactions are a whole vibe god bless you

According to the 13th Amendment, they still acknowledge this type of prison work as legit legalized slavery, even today. It never ended, just changed the legality of it being for prisoners only.

When i first seen this movie when it came out i cried at the end when ray and Claude was finally free

Claude and Ray were from NY, and in those times black people were treated completely different up north than they were here in the south. Ray knew what the deal was when they were in the diner because he makes his moonshine runs throughout the south. Claude had never experienced racism and hatred from white people on that level because he was only used to Northern living.

Also, 33:38 you notice old girl from the bar came to see Claude in prison. She’s also on Ally McBeal if you ever see it.

Watching this girl react who looks exactly like my mom when she was 20-21 is crazy it’s down right bizarre Shoutout to my mom and this girl!

Was waiting for this reaction 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥💗

Great reaction! 👍🏿

Yes, please. Thank you very much MJ. Feel you’d love the movie Little Giants. You should put the song Life in your playlist.

Classic movie and hilarious movie love the video MJ stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

I saw this in the movies. As a kid it was just funny. As I got older and started watching it more it hits different. Now I be on the verge of tears when I watch it. Their story was so sad. Just some knuckleheads who were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Its a masterpiece. Eddie and Martin did their thing with this one. The soundtrack was fire, I had it on cassette. Everyone should see this movie. The production, costumes, sets and the allstar cast. Whew!!!!

The soundtrack is just as fire 🔥‼️

People in the movie that you may not know. The bigger grave digger was Legendary hip hop star Heavy D. RIP to him. Spanky Johnson was Legendary superstar Rick James. RIP to him. Singer in the club is Dawn Robinson from the legendary R & B group EnVogue.

one of my fave movies

18:57 he remind me of Uncle Ruckus off the boondocks

Liked your reaction. One of my fav movies

Funny part about that is Claude don't realize that Ray saved his life what it was spanky was going to kill him right then and there but Ray talked him out of it

The guy with the black grandchild is Superintendent Abenathy. The man who shot Sherrif Pike is Superintendent Old Man Wilkins. Just to clear it up.

Life is an amazingly underrated film, that although it's extremely funny. It also tells the story of the convict leasing system that took place after slavery.

Yeah these old movies hit different MJ. Glad you enjoyed it. Swear ima ask about Spider-Man one day.

I want to watch it again now 😅

Love your channel. Keep grinding
