sightful stand-up Larry Miller has been seen previously
in films only as a supporting player (TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, the DR.
DOLITTLE films). His full leap into the world of feature films is PROS &
CONS, a comedy he wrote and plays the lead in. Miller and Tommy Davidson (BAMBOOZLED,
TV's IN LIVING COLOR) play regular guys thrown into prison for crimes they
didn't commit. Their only way out of the joint is by pulling off a mistaken
identity scam that neither one seems competent enough to pull off. The humor
pulls no punches as their predicament leads these two bumblers into comic
situations involving stabbings, being taken hostage, and many other trouble
spots giving a hilarious view of life on the inside. Delroy Lindo and Julie
Warner assist in the master plan. Miller won a best actor award from the U.S.
Comedy Arts Festival for his performance.
