Always protect the McNuggets....

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2013)

Paul Crewe was a football superstar back in his day, but that time has since faded.
But when a messy drunk driving incident lands him in jail, Paul finds he was specifically requested by the Warden, a duplicitous prison official well aware of Paul's athletic skills.
Paul has been assigned the task of assembling a team of convicts, to square off in a big football game against the guards. With the help of convict Caretaker, and an old legend named Nate Scarborough to coach, Crewe is ready for a very interesting game.
It's only the warden and the guards who have no idea who or what they're up against, with Paul the driving force behind the new team....
Here is another movie that proves that Sandler is capable of making a very good movie, that not only makes you laugh, but it's exciting to boot too.
it's a remake of a movie I haven't seen (which in turn was remade in 2001 as mean Machine with Vinnie Jones, which was awful), but everything you would expect from an underdog movie is all here and present.
Everybody ridicules him at first,
One guy from a gang joins, and all the others join in turn,
The warden feels threatened so he threatens Crewe in return,
It all turns out good in the end, but nearly goes the wardens way, before Crewe has an epiphany.
Troupes like this are rife throughout all these sorts of movies, but they work, even though we know what will happen long before it's hit the fifteen minute mark.
The cast are great, and Sandler yet again has provided us with some random characters that are utterly hilarious.
Its a fun movie, nothing serious, but entertaining.
