Featured review
Just Silly enough
Pros and Cons was just silly enough not to be taken seriously so that you can sit back and laugh. It was not a Leslie Nielson type of comedy, but it was satirical enough to get the point across. The movie is about an accountant who goes to prison and through sheer clumsiness he performs enough acts of toughness to become one of the most feared guys in prison. Larry Miller does an excellent job playing Ben Babbit the accountant. In every movie I've seen Larry Miller in he's played a cowardly worm type; this movie was no different except he is the protagonist in this one.
Being that the movie takes place in a prison there is expected foul language, race based gangs, and homosexuality, though it is never dwelled on too long nor is it graphic. I thought the movie was hilarious. Tommy Davidson and Larry Miller make a good team, it is a wonder why they never did any other movies together.
