Yeah, It's Entertaining. Get Use to It

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2007)

Paul "Wrecking" Crewe was a revered 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 Warden Hazen, 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 sadistic guards. With the help of fellow convict Caretaker, and an old legend named Nate Scarborough to coach, Crewe is ready for what promises to be a very interesting game.
Yes, it's what you expect in a Adam Sandler movie. Yes, it has the visual gags and crude humor. Yes, it's filled with (humorous) one liners. Get use to it. This movie was pretty entertaining from beginning to end. I like how the camera shoots the football scenes because it looks really cool and entertaining.
I also liked the modern score, making you feel young again. I might be in the minority who liked this film. I also found it surprisingly emotional and it's not all immature, childish jokes that are in the film.
Adam Sandler gives a good performance (yes, getting drunk) and gives the group a "team spirit". Chris Rock's performance was okay and Burt Reynolds performance was good. Other supporting characters are humorous or villainous.
In the end, you know it, it has a showdown better two teams who are trying to win the football game. Yes, it has been done with several sports movie but I really don't care. In the end, it makes you (or me) smile and you (or me) would be really satisfied.
It's more or less what you expect in an Adam Sandler movie. If you want to watch it, go ahead. If not, don't watch it. Football fans would surly like it for the last fifty minutes of the film, though.
