Let's Go to Prison
In this outrageous and very adult comedy, a small-time career criminal (Dax Shepard) has spent most of his life in prison, sentenced each time by the same hard-ass judge. Suddenly free, he sets out to take revenge on the judge, only to learn that the old man has died. Unwilling to forgive and forget, he sets his sights on the judge's son (Will Arnett), manipulating events so that the innocent man is sent to prison. The two become cellmates, and the ultimate game of comeuppance - big house-style - begins.
